A PBN with footprints

Hi,

I know that some hard core SEOs here use PBNs to rank sites.

But there are some things which keep my mind busy.

I thought about some things which could be some footprints for SEs:

1. Using admin to post your articles
2. Private Whois: If all blogs linking to your main site have this isn't this rising flags?
3. Always using the cms
4. Having just some (up to 7) unique articles on them

Don't you think that these are footprints?

  • Make it natural in all humanly possible ways and you would be fine.

    I don't think anyone would want to share their secret.

  • Then don't use admin only. WP Allows multiple users

    I've yet to see a single network deindexed or found out based on using privacy

    Then don't. I don't use CMS all the time but unfortunately most people won't have anything to do with anything but WP so I have built networks for people with just WP.

    What law says you have to have no more than seven plus there are lots of sites with ten or so page (not blogs but that goes back to number 3
  • ok, that's interesting. but we have to keep in mind that this definitely isn't natural. are you mixing your links with those kind of links and "real" ones?

    • There are 101 reasons why people use privacy on domain names, and PBN is just one of them. So why is it not natural?

    • It depends what you mean by "real"...

      If you mean am I using other sources such as guest blogging, comments, etc then yes in moderation I do.

      If you mean, am I grafting to get super high quality editorial links by just being super great in my niche then it depends on what the rewards are likely to be for that niche and my site by getting those links.
  • I don't think that's an issue. There's a crap ton of improperly installed WordPress blogs that are still using the admin username.

    If I was to do a blog network I might be tempted to use very limited number of different WP themes. Theoretically that could leave quite a footprint, but I'm not sure if Google is tracking themes and vendors.

    • How is using admin mean the blog was improperly installed? When my hosting creates a wordpress installation, it always creates the admin user as the only user. What's wrong with that?

  • I usually install "Better WordPress Security" and "Theme Authenticity Checker". BWS will help me secure my wordpress like changing the table name and change "admin" username.

    TAC will help me check the theme for any malicious code.

    Works fine for me so far for all my sites in PBN.
  • Yes, try to have different author. And new algorithm already have weight for authorship.

    I do not think so.

    Using different cms type is not bad idea.

    Do you mean unique article is not good
