Not all my PBNs are on the dedicated server, as that will take some time to do.

New ones and ones on risky cheap or seo hosts are the ones I am currently placing on the dedicated server.

I am not worried about them all being on the one box, the opposite actually, because I they are much more likely to be working on this box compared to…[Read more]

Hi Billy

I based in NZ too, over the years I just keep adding to the list the different business directories and review sites, and industry specific ones. Basically those that show up for companies one the first several pages.

I have a staff member manually go through and add a company to those sites where they aren’t yet listed. And where…[Read more]

I had a friend mention they had a site that was stuck for over a month no matter what they did.

What they did do though was to continue building links as they had before.

Then jsut the other day, all of a sudden it’s like they all took affect and his site jumped to #5 on page 1 for hi smain highly competitive 20K a month keyword.

So, my…[Read more]

If you’re looking for something to manage your PBN’s then get Main WP, it’s free to use from the WP Plugins.

The if you want to extend it they sell the extension for typically around $20.

I’ve been using it since it was called Sick Network, when it was way too buggy. Now however I run multiple installs of it for the different groups of sites…[Read more]

Slightly off topic:

In a test I did over a month or 2 ago, I 301 redirected several domains to individual bit.ly urls, which then linked to a site.

I was not expecting to see the original domains show up in Majestic, however it and the bit.ly urls both showed in the backlinks to the site being linked to by the bit.ly urls.

Have an a…[Read more]

I manually sign up for an account for each site.

For the email address I use plus addressing, eg steve+mydomain-com@gmail.com

That way I can have one email address and use it for all sites and they are named in a consistent way that I know what the log in will be for any PBN site.

Of all the DNS info that CloudFlare suggests, I delete all…[Read more]

@Kenny re: tools to use

Here’s what I do to build out my PBN sites:

1. I have a template site built with the WordPress core and plugins configured to how I like them, and only have the default (most recent) WordPress theme

2. I have a library of 30+ free themes I’ve stored up over the past year or 2 or building PBN sites that I use and…[Read more]

Hey Andrew, yeah I use UBot Studio too, been using it for years.

Have an awesome day

“I do my ranking a little different. Rather than try to get your business and then ranking your site I chose to prove my ability by ranking a site for my keywords and then making that site available to you.” 

 Nice line Big Happy. I like the laid back style, fits with my approach.

This site just targets a single city, so no idea what the populations would be for the suburbs within it.

And again because the kw’s I’m tracking generally include geo locations, the google numbers are fairly hit and miss.

The goal is going wide on kw’s to make up for the low volume for each kw.

Current stats today are: 

At #1 = 1…[Read more]

@B4B – following on from what you were saying about targeting one kw for the EMD.

What I do is have my primary kw which is what the EMD is, and then target that and synonyms of it. The synonyms may or may not include par of the EMD phrase.

The synonyms I chose are ones people would regularly use in everyday language.

The side benefit is…[Read more]

Good list, thanks for sharing.

I agree with Andrew, I’m seeing Google favouring on page factors a lot more these days than to this time last year.

I’ve been using schema data for years.

Initially to get those augmented search listings as a way to increase the visibility of my item in the organic results, and secondly (because of the increased visibility) an increased click through rate.

So even if you are further down the list, just by the listing looking different (e.g. ,with review…[Read more]

Hey Jake, do you have a list of the bugs fixed and new features added?

A good article with up to date data of what has been shown previously.

A particularly useful way to use that is for prospects that are already doing Adwords successfully and highlighting to them the % of clicks that go to Ads vs organic.

One of the things we do is mine their Adwords data for kw’s they should be ranking for. This gives us…[Read more]
