Blog Network experts: "Duplicate" links across different money site pages?

I have a rather limited budget to drop on a private network, roughly 4-5k.

I have a money site with 15 low comp keywords that need to be ranked. Would it be effective to use the same blog network sites to rank each page?

For example if I end up with 20 network sites I would use that same set to rank 15 different pages on the money site. Im asking because ive heard that there was a diminishing returns effect when getting multiple links from the same domain, but don't know if this is true across multiple pages. I hope that makes sense.

I will also be diluting the incoming links using link trades and links from other places. As for the network sites I will be linking out to other sites to dilute the links there as well.

    First, I don't think $4 to 5 grand is a limited budget. I think you can put together a great PBN for that price if you know what you are doing. To answer your question though, you say you want to rank "low comp keywords." If that's the case, and we'd need more detail on what "low" means, a network with 20 sites could very well get you to where you want to be. The devil is in the details of competition, the quality of your content, etc.

    Content-wise I will be using 100% unique and well written articles on both the money sites AND the network sites. Not looking to cut any corners.

    As for the keywords they AVERAGE around 3-4k monthly searches with page one being mainly PR n/a sites. And the top 5 are not optimized for the keywords at all. Based on my past experiences and advice from others i'm fairly confident that I can take either the number 1 or 2 spots on these. I've had to do a TON of painful research to find these little nuggets.

    My money site's homepage is also a PR 3 which I will work to get to a PR 5 by buying permanent links and link exchanges from my private network. I will also be updating the site regularly (at least 1 or 2 posts per week).

    .

    You would have no prayer of withstanding a manual check. That would look as obvious as obvious could be.

      Thanks for the reply Mike. So basically 3 way link exchanges would be the only, or best, way to go? And if that's the case then would you say that building a private network is only cost effective if:

      A) You only have 1 high value keyword to rank for
      B) You offered SEO services
      C) You build micro niche sites or multiple sites in general all targetting 1 keyword.
      ?

      Im asking because people tout networks as "the way to go" but it seems pretty retarded to spend so much money on domains to only be able to use them once. In that case im thinking id be better of just buying links from other network owners.

        Not at all. You asked about linking all your network to your pages. Instead you should link just from some network sites to your money site splitting up your network by targeted pages. Thats if you had a large network. Thing is there is no one size fits all networks. They come in various sizes. I've seen some people do well with just 10+ PR3 domains and then others go hundreds and into pR6s etc.

        Get going and see what ranks you. might be a whole lot less than your budget.

          If your budget/network is small you can focus your network on a single page and then use that page to rank other pages.

          Offering a Private Network in SEO Services, could soon make it a Public Network. Which in time would be publicly bitch slapped by Google. (Private means Private). 1 client or a small group of "trusted clients" per network is best practice, for both you and your clients.

          Each page of a site can rank in a separate niche.

          Agreed,
          Keeping each network site fixed to an exact topic will also increase the link relevance. Personally I would say its ok to take a couple of pages to target if the subject matter was the same. Just look at this one logically. Nobody writes an article and links to 57 pages of another site as references to the subject. So keeping each network site page specific is just common sense, more then a rule of thumb.

            Sorry to say but even better if they are NOT in the IM niche
