Anyone interested in buying links?

We are currently building a PBN to support our SEO for the bricks and mortar company that we run. We have 40+ blogs and are adding to the network at the rate of 30 PR3 or PR4 domains a month.

No more than two domains are on the same IP, and we are using several different hosting companies around the world. We are NOT using SEO hosting. Each domain has the usual ID security in place. Each homepage has a good, handwritten article for content - no copying or duplication of content. We are relatively cash rich (when compared to the bedroom Adsense-rs) so we have the budget for this.

We have done the checks to make sure that the domains we buy do not have faked PR and have a backlink profile that will give us the best chance of retaining the PR over time.

Each site has 4 outbound links on the homepage for our purposes, and we don't want to exceed this. However, additional links could be added as long as the number of total outbound links is kept at 15 or below.

Hence we could have 11 links for sale on each homepage.

What you would pay for a PR3 or PR4 link on a homepage with up to 15 OBL?

We can add a paragraph of text with your links in such a way that it reads naturally, and can pick a site from our range of varied themed domains that best suits your niche (some are quite generic but some have a theme in keeping with the history of the domain).

We have a website describing our SEO services, but if selling links to those who already understand SEO is a more viable option we may just add a Paypal section to the site and go from there.

Let me know your thoughts!

Cheers,

Jim

    Why someone ''cash rich'' would diluite the ranking power of his backlinks that are pointing on his main business for few bucks? If you have the budget then stick with what are you doing and keep those domains for yourself.

      SEO has doubled the size of the business in 5 years - we rely heavily on e-commerce.

      We've not lost the plot at all - we're taking it into our own hands and doing a better job for much less than we paid before.

      I was aware that I would probably get torn a new one for having a PBN, but I know I'm not the only one doing it....

      We simply have link space available and wondered if SEOs might be interested. it's not a problem if not - it's NOT what the PBN was created for.

        Jim,

        No hard feelings, man We all 'gotta do' what we 'gotta do'

        Your question is tough to answer.

        One of the main questions I have is how long do the posts stay on the front page?

          No worries dude!

          Links would be there for a minimum of one year.

          Obviously we'd supply the URL's so you could check for yourself!

          Cheers,

          Jim

            If I was you I would just keep the PBN private for your own business. Once you start adding other people's links and releasing the names of your domains, that's when Google finds out and sinks the whole network.

              So you guys definitely think that it would make sense to have two completely separate networks if we really insist in selling links or SEO services?

              Assuming we have no links to OUR money site on the second half of the network, I'm thinking it should be relatively safe?

                If you absolutely insist on selling links, build a business to sell links. Don't mix two parties -- boosting your own important website and selling links. They don't go together

    One of the problems with renting links on your network to others is that the more sites that you link to, the more your network becomes exposed. If you sell a few links to various sites that you have no control over and their competitors start reporting this to google, the integrity of your network may be compromised.

    If your business relies on SEO to bring in customers it may not be worth risking your network just to sell a few links.

    Sounds like BMR 2.0. We know how that turned out. I'd keep the network private. You could make a lot more money with it for yourself than outing it by selling links.

      Hmmm, I find most of these answers to be extremely short sighted. I might be interested Jim, depending on the blog topics. Relevancy is key.

    I'd pay between $5 and $10 per link for a permanent PR3 and maybe $12 - $15 for a PR4. But Warrior Forum probably isn't the best place to get an accurate market rate :rolleyes:

    If there was a link replacement guarantee if the PR dropped, I'd pay a little bit more.

    No one should be "tearing you a new one" for having a PBN. In fact thats a smart strategy that works and, if done correctly, may work for a long time to come.

    But don't sell any links on your PBN, and never reveal anything about your PBN or your main site. Flying under the radar, stealth mode, is the name of the game here.

    I build PBNs for clients, and always tell them to keep silent like a mouse about them, and never sell links on the network.
