Add content to my PBN sites, or keep about 5 solid articles?

Should I continue to add content (it won't be too awesome, probably Article Builder stuff or similar) or keep about 3-5 solid articles on it?

I say the continued content would be thin because I wouldn't have time to write new content (or pay to have it written) if I'm using 10-15 sites in my PBN.

    • Well, I haven't really yet. I have a handful of PR3 and PR2 sites in my niche I just scooped up. One I built out and have four decent articles on it, ready for links to my client to be put in.

      I read that link and you seem to be doing articles, so I guess I'm a bit perplexed at your meaning.

  • If you aren't going to create unique content, then don't publish any articles on the sites. It's better than publishing spun content from article builder.

    Not all PBN sites are blogs. Some PBN sites are just built into normal static homepage sites.

    • You mean like many of mine I update through dreamweaver? Doesn't change the fact that 90% of PBN owners use WP as a blog. You do realize PBN stands for Private BLOG network right?

  • to me, simply to keep unique contents as much as possible always does the trick, decent links do the same too
    but there are more than plentiful knowledge here that I can learn from this generous sharing.
  • Bottom line is why spend the money and time on domains and build them into a private network if you are just going to fill them with junk content that makes them stick out like a sore thumb?

    A private network is an investment. It's a money making machine that you should take care of.

    • Agreed. So add original content (hired or by me) and essentially make it look like a real blog/site. I do this for my own (obviously) but I didn't want to use extra cash to do this on the PBN - but it's probably a better usage of that cash than an SEO service, Fiverr, etc.

    • Most people can't do that with a money site let alone one they buy just for ranking.


      Of course, as soon as someone mentions using content mills and cheap freelancing services, or even the thought of using a specific number of cheap outsourced articles...might as well let them trash their own networks because they're not going to get your point.
    • That's true. Spending a lot dollar for domain PR. So it need to take care about good content. I still believe in quality. So just add good content and not important that network need to be update frequently.
  • This is my strategy that I use on my high PR PBN sites:

    1. Post at least one high quality unique 750 - 1000 word article on each site per month.

    2. Do NOT link out to anything from this article. You want to keep your link juice going to your money site.

    By performing this very short monthly task, it keeps your sites fresh in Google eyes.

    • There's a big footprint in your strategy - not linking out.

      Make sure each article links out to authority sites relevant to that article.
    • If you never link out to your money sites, where's the payoff?
  • I would write more articles and made my site like authority site.
  • If you are building a blog style network site, I agree with Mike. The more natural, the better.

    On the other hand if you are building something designed to be more of a resource site, that may not work. For example, if I am building a site that covers the topic of health insurance, I'm not going to have it setup as a blog at all. There are going to be informative articles under different sections like Medicare, Medicare supplements, private health insurance, HMO's, etc.

    I might add a blog to the site too that occasionally posts some stuff out things going on in the news like the latest with Obamacare, etc. Those are probably not going to be articles I'm going to link out from though either except maybe some internal links.

    It all depends on the style and theme you choose for the network site. I rarely setup "blogs" anymore though.

    • Yes my example was for blogs (which about 90% of the people I see using PBNs use) but even for non blogs the standard articles at Iwriter/hirewriters in my opinion are not going to fool anyone. Those do not come off as resource site material as the writer does minimal research and is unlikely to really know the material. Once you drop the links in there it looks rather obvious. Even if the site is on another CMs and doesn't have that PBN look it still can get dinged for selling links.

      Like you when I go HTMl sites for my PBNs I don't do blog type things at all but then I still don't just use articles. Factoids bullet lists are added as well.

      However to be honest its rare to see people go away from WP. Of the hundreds I taught how to build PBNs I saw maybe three people who mixed it up like I suggested.

      So for the vast majority you are better letting your writers at iwriter and hitrewriters etc use a more personalized style and actually blog rather than try to have them try and fail to come off as looking natural with the common article order.

  • Even though you dont have time to write for those many blogs. Atleast try to update once in a week . So that google wont think that these blogs done have updates.
    Try to take some information and rewrite good articles based on that info.
    I hope this method will help up to some extent.

    Thanks
  • I only am poking in here to laugh at one of the backlinks for that domain... ForumForHepes?


    Edit: ooh, forumforhepes is parked and available for sale.


    Edit 2: don't go to forumforherpes...going there hit a malware trigger on Symantec Endpoint Protection.

    • Only came on our radar and mistakenly got bought (hence why I would share it here since we are not using it) for the higher authority links it had. No idea what other links it has.
  • I'm in no way commenting on your method or perceived quality of the domain.

    I just had to laugh that the first thing that caught my eye was herpes.

    Just glad I didn't catch it somewhere else!

  • Dang. All I wanted to do was know if I should build my own PBN (again) or "rent" links (although that term used in this instance is new to me.)

    However, we get a pissing match. I guess this may be good for business - or bad - depending on if character is important when employing people.

    Guys, this sucks. You've officially hijacked my thread and not really helped anyone, let alone me.

    For what it's worth, this has been mildly entertaining.

    • My recommendation, if it is a long-term project you care about, then you should build your own properties to support it.

      If you are working on something that is churn and burn and you don't care if it tanks next week, rent/buy links.

    • I was never in "your" thread trying to get employed. Post 43 dragged my name and what I do into this thread for absolutely NO GOOD REASON. Previous to that it was a discussion about issues without any reference to people. If its your idea that responding to nonsense like that is bad character then thats your issue. You are on an open and free board. I have no intention of letting that character get away with that without a response.

      Meanwhile if you read past that you will find a lot of direction and comparisons of the pro and con of using a service versus building your own
  • Aww c'mon, you can't not like this jem!! Lol!!

  • Lol... I was just going back and reading it. That thread is fantastic. It should be a sticky.

  • Some statics websites only have some pages and stay so for years. And others are uptaded very often.do not leave a footprint. Randomly add high content. Well researched articles.
  • Hi,
    I used them in the past cause I already had dozens of shared hosting plans and it became quite an effort to keep track of all, also some shared hosts only allow so many addon domains and that type of things so I got lazy and got some additional SEO hosts. Now I've ditched them all and just bought a few dozen additional shared hosting plans. Makes me sleep better.
