PBN's STILL effective?

[OnTrial]

Whilst I've been looking into paid traffic I was wondering if PBN's are still effective for SEO rankings?

Yes, they are. But you need to be a lot more cautious nowadays not to get penalized.

Yes I can vouch they are still... highly effective. I've just recently started doing them, and got my keyword from page 100+ to page 2 now.

What's the point of using a PBN if you know it's going to destroy your site at some point? Google is only getting more effective at finding link schemes.

 

[Randize]

Yup, there's definitely a risk in getting your domain or pbn deindex and affecting your ranking. The point is you find a niche that you can attack, rinse and repeat your strategy. As long as you can make money this way and make a sustainable income (positive cashflow), who cares if one or more of your pbn gets affected.

That said, there are points you can take care to avoid getting flag by Google. This strategy can absolutely be long term.

Yes, in order to rank effectively and reliably you would have to construct a Private Blog Network (PBN's).
