Adrian, l read your article and i will try your services and l think that is one of the very few posts that really depicts the true picture.

l have 5 sites with different content and different design, so do l have a PBN? No, because l have my business site and then l needed a more bit personal blog aside, so l did one more and one more.

Thank you

I do think that phone numbers and any HTML with the same user ID of any tag can be a footprint. If I can identify that, then Google most definitely can.

I don’t know, depends on your goal. I wouldn’t bother using PBNs at all because I really want to have something legit that lasts. However, if I were in your case I’d probably not link them with same contact details and chat IDs.

If I used PBNs, I wouldn’t put my company’s name and the fact that I used PBNs in the same place xD. Yeah, pretty much I do think they still help. Depends on their quality though.

Waseem, yes. Any site can rank without PBNs but it has to put the work into the right things. However, there’s a fine line between what is a PBN. Is your personal site a PBN if you keep linking to your articles? I don’t think so. Thing is not to do it at scale.

Yeah. Little sites are harder to catch, but leave one wrong trace and you’ll be dead. It also affects everyone else because it creates patterns which are then analyzed and added to the algorithm.

we have some money site. All of this has the same vat, phone number and chat. Everyone of this site is linked from some of my pbn site. 1 site 1 link no cross link.

What do you think about some vat, phone number, chat is not a footprint? what about using on all the network? insane or smart?
Best Regards

Hello! I work in a company Name Digitofy Global, we have many PBNs which are genuine and Have DA PA of 50; my question is: are these PBNs full helpful for ranks?

Because I think that the PBNs trend has gone.

Great article, thanks.
I have a colleague who suffered a penalty due to he was a practicant of these type of strategies. His own web dissapiared from SERPs and most of his satellite blogs were closed with no advice.
Even so, I don´t think that will happen to a little site.
