Well, so I was thinking of creating a PBN and long story short, i realized I needed a seperate host and seperate ip's, nameservers, name registered under a diff name. I bought like 80$ worth of domains now these domains have like .edu backlinks with huffington, microsoft, nytimes and other high authority domain sites attached to them so what do I do now? Is there any use for me because I can't create PBN since i dont want to buy a diff domain with whole diff ip thing and stuff...

      Awesomeness, well then you should be Golden! Just use something like "EBN" (Easy Blog Networks) or just create different hosting accounts with different emails for each domain

    Stop and learn about what you are trying to do before going further. I think you did screw up but not in the way you think

    You seemed to have bought domains just because they had some links from huffington, nytimes etc.

    Link sellers have been pushing the scam that because theres some link pointing to a domain somewhere on huffington post its automatically a great domain to buy.

    thats not true. pages are rated by google. Thats why they call it PAGE RANK. You can have weak as water links somewhere deep in huffington post and they will give you little to no ranking power.

    Second you are listening to urban myths that state whois privacy of domains is violated by google so you have to register each domain under a different name.

    Wrong again. Built a lot of PBNs and taught hundreds more to build their own. I register my domains with whois privacy and never had an issue.

    Finally you are freaking out at different hosts and datacenters when there are several providers (cloud included ) that have multiple datacenters with one host.

    Building a good PBN takes a little bit of time and work so if you are going to freak out because you have to take a little time to set them up - PBNs are not for you.

    How do u check if its good or not? I dont have majestic or Ahrefs :/ I only have Semrush. So do I need to buy seperate Shared Hosting plans? EBN isnt taking any new customers btw. For my website to rank Do I need to keep writing new blog posts? It's been 5-6 months I believe since i posted a new article on my main money website. Also for my PBN do I need to keep writing articles or what?

      I never really used Semrush to check links. However they used to have people over on fiverr that would give you reports and ahrefs has/had a $7 trial last time I checked. If you are not checking backlinks you are going to end up with junk.

      So do I need to buy separate Shared Hosting plans?
      No you can find hosts with more than one datacenter and some large operations have cloud hosting with the same.

      For my website to rank Do I need to keep writing new blog posts?
      No

      Also for my PBN do I need to keep writing articles or what?
      No. Many sites have pages that have not changed in years

    Hey speaking of PBN's I was wondering isn't a WEB 2.0 with high authority the same as a PBN?

      You have to get out of your mind that SITES have authority. Pages have to have authority which again means incoming links giving them authority.

      Merely having a page on Web 2.0 is NOT the same as a PBN.

      Besides web 2.0s do not belong to you and the Web 2.0 webmasters can wipe your pages from existence whenever they choose.

    What is cloud hosting? You said large operation, that means it would cost a lot right? How much would it cost? I only have like 7 domains. Is there no other way than Ahrefs? I really want to know if my websites are any good :/. Also is there no other way than this to rank?

    The thing with private networks to remember is you are buying domains for their existing link profile, or at least you should be.

    Don't let domain sellers tell you that a domain is good because it has links from Huffington Post (easy to get and full of spam), Microsoft, NYTimes (same), because they have .edu links (EDU links have no special ranking power), or because they have a high DA (Moz's metrics on their own can be highly inaccurate).

    Unfortunately, it sounds like you got taken advantage of by one of these sellers and bought $80 of junk.

    You could use SEMrush to evaluate domains, but this is not a foolproof method.

    I use SEMrush to see if the domain had any keyword rankings. Links are the #1 ranking factor in Google's algorithm, so if the domain was ranking for some moderately competitive keywords (even in the 40's or 50's), that can be a good indication of what Google thinks of the link profile that domain has.
