PBN Using Snippets on Home Page

Hi all! First post, take it easy on me!

So I am thinking of buying a few links from a PBN. I was able to locate a few of the sites ahead of time, and it looks like he is using snippets on the homepage, so your actual back link is NOT appearing anywhere on the home page.

So my question is: am I correct in assuming that buying links from this PBN, I will not be getting any of the home page Page Authority juice, since the link is not appearing there? Which in my assumption is supposed to be the main benefit of getting a PBN link.

(I understand the DA juice will still pass, but still).

Thanks!

    What is DA juice? DA is a made-up metric by Moz. Stop thinking DA/PA/MozTrust matter. There's no proof to show they correlate with rankings at all.

    What's wrong with getting a post from an authorative domain? Half of my PBN has homepage links to my affiliate sites. The other half don't have homepage links.

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

    There is no such thing as DA juice.

    It also depends on the internal linking structure of the PBN site. Think about a natural link profile anyway, would all the backlinks be on the home page or would they be on inner pages?

    I think the bigger question you need to ask is what are you willing to lose by purchasing links on a PBN. If you can buy it, that likely means that someone at Google can buy those links to.

    What precautions are you taking to ensure that your site will be protected if that network goes down?

      This is sacrilege. No one is supposed to use that user name. Away with this fellow !! I demand a recount.

      and then he has the nerve to be asking about buying PBN links from someone besides himself.

        Wrong and dead wrong. Though any metric can be gamed High Pagerank does often match Moz (and Majestic metrics). Theres plenty of evidence. See it in the serps all the time

          The problem with OSE is that it cannot intellectually tell the difference between a relevant link and a non-relevant link, in the way that I would assume Google does.

          If you buy 150,000 links from Fiverr, you'll have DA40 PA52.

          Now, it wouldn't be hard to see that the metrics are gamed.

          High pagerank correlation is also useless. One of my PBN sites is PR7. One link to my money site and it's PR4/PR5. Now, suddenly I have a PR5 money site that has a DA of 10.

          All OSE is doing is trying to replicate Google's algorithms as closely as they can. They analyse the rankings and tweak their own algorithm to try and provide metrics that correspond with actual rankings. While OSE is a useful resource, and I admit I use it daily, I would never pay much attention to it. If anything, I use it to find links that AHREFS/Majestic miss.

            I am sure google does ten times better on relevancy but not sure how that means anything to webmasters since Google doesn't give relevancy scores. I'm jsut saying when the other metrics are not gamed that they are indicators of ranking strength

            Yeah sure but that only comes up with unnatural link building. An organic earned PR4 site is not going to have one PR7 link. I am by no means saying its perfect or across the board but if you do a check of organic rankings in most serps you are going to see High DA where you see high PR more often than not.

            Apples and oranges. You are talking about relying on one metric to make a decision which no one should ever do for any metric. Thats entirely different from saying there is no correlation to rankings whatsoever. I'll use whatever metrics are available - all of them. to me it makes no sense not to especially if you have a free tool that checks all with one click like Netpeak. That and of course the backlinks themselves.
