Where To Host Your PBN.
The Reliable Hosts
The most tedious and boring task of setting up your PBN has to be finding the right hosts, setting
them up while dealing with technical issues and such.
Lesson #1
I will start by saying avoid SEO hosting at all costs. I’m talking about every single host provider
that advertises as an SEO host provider.
The moment you install your domains on an SEO host, you become a
target for Google. Period.
It goes a bit deeper than that too. Because you can use 2 types of hosts.
There are shared and dedicated hosts. Obviously, it means you’re either sharing your domains
with someone else’s domains because they are hosted on the same IP or Name server.
Dedicated means that you’re the only one using domains on the IP and Name server.
Anyway, whenever you park your domains on a shared server from an SEO host, your PBN
becomes a ticking time bomb.
Don’t DO IT.
Instead, invest in premium or reliable shared/dedicated hosts that do not advertise themselves
as an SEO host.
There are thousands, if not millions of legit websites hosted on reliable hosts, so Google would
not dare to target their IPs and Nameserver. That’s why you should mingle your PBNs with the
legit crowd.
By Patrick Babakhanian

6 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
You can also use reseller hosting from legit non-SEO host providers, because now you are able to
create unique nameservers and IPs with 1 host.
Host each PBN on an unique IP as much as possible and you’ll erase the risk of getting deindexed
by 90% already.
There are tons of affordable options around and I’ve compiled a list of reliable hosts for you.

How To Setup Your PBN.
The Persona
"Behind every great site there's a great WHOIS identity"
- some Wise SEO Man
Every PBN site has to have a qualified persona behind it. Every one of your PBN sites would
appear legit and unique towards Google. Which is a crucial factor, if you want to have a long-
lasting PBN that ranks your sites for a long time. You're going to start generating persona's within
seconds with the fake name generator tool.
Step 1 - Go to fakenamegenerator.com and generate your geo- based
persona for every one of your PBN sites.

8 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
You're going to need a full name, home address, birthday and cellphone number. However,
emails should be created separately from the following providers: Hotmail/Outlook, Yahoo, AOL
or @domainname.com via your own cPanel.
Step 2 - Go to Hotmail, Outlook, Yahoo or your cPanel to create a
verified email account, so you can receive emails from your domain
registrars to verify ownership.
Once you have your persona's setup, it's time to implement the information into your WHOIS
details on your domain registrars. I'm going to use the domain registrar GoDaddy as an example,
but the steps remain the same with every registrar.
I mostly recommend you to setup your own @domainname.com emails via cPanel and then
forward all the emails to 1 inbox, so you can easily verify each domain from any domain registrar.
Here’s how you do it:

Step 3 - Login into your domain registrar, head over to your domain
dashboard and select the domain that you want to use as a PBN.
Select the Contacts tab, click on Edit All Contacts and fill in your pre- made persona details.
Once you have requested a WHOIS change, you'll receive an email from your domain registrar to
verify the changes you've submitted. Click on the verification button in the email and you'll be
all set!
*It's CRUCIAL to use an email account that you can access or else you won't be able to implement
your Persona!

Step 4 - Go to your hosting cPanel, click on Update Contact info,
change the account email into your Persona's email and click on the
Save button.

Step 5 - After you changed your contact email, it's time to edit your
SOA records.
Go to your cPanel, click on Advanced Zone Editor, select your domain name and edit your .MAIL
into your Persona's email.
If you can't find your SOA records, then email your hosting provider and simply request them to
change it for you!

The Transformation
Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups
and downs. It's a journey of discovery
Rick Warren
Step 6 - Install a CMS like WordPress on your PBN site with your
Persona's name and email, when installing from QuickInstall or
Softaculous.
Once you have installed your WordPress, head over to Dashboard and do the following:
Go To Settings --> General
--> Change WordPress & Site URL to the best possible extension your domain has, in terms of link
juice and the best metrics.
--> Change E-Mail Address to your Persona's email.
Click on Save Changes
Go To Settings --> Permalinks
--> Under the common settings, you need to click on Post name, so your URL looks clean and well
optimized for SEO purposes.
Click on Save Changes
Go To Users --> Your Profile
--> Fill in your Persona's full name and email address, so it aligns with your hosting and domain
registrar's details. This adjustment alone separates you from a lot of PBNs filled with obvious
footprints.
Go To Appearance --> Themes --> Add New
--> Install a nice-looking WP theme that basically represents a legit business, service or a personal
blog.
Go To Appearance --> Editor --> Footer.php
By Patrick Babakhanian

14 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
--> Delete the Footer Link (<a href="www.example.com"</a>) in the footer.php file, so you won't
have any outbound links with link juice pointing to other websites. This is because you want to
keep all the link juice on your PBN site and for your own money sites.
The Plugins
"I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best
life I can with it"
- LeBron James
Go To Plugins --> Add New
Download one of the following plugins under each category and choose a random plugin for
every PBN site.

▪ All In One SEO
▪ SEO Yoast
▪ Platinum SEO

The Content
"Traditional marketing talks at people. Content marketing talks with
them."
- Doug Kessler
Go To Pages --> Add New
Add Inner pages with content to your PBN sites to make them look like a business site or a legit
looking personal blog. Depending on the topic of your PBN site, you should add pages that look
real and make sense.
For example, a business site will have a Services/About Us pages and a personal blog could have
pages with videos and funny stories.
By Patrick Babakhanian
PBN Mastery
17 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
Examples of inner pages
▪ About Us
▪ Services
▪ FAQ
▪ Tips
▪ Resources
▪ Privacy Policy
▪ Terms of Service
▪ Events
▪ Workshops
▪ Stories
▪ Portfolio
▪ Contact
▪ Blog
▪ Get Notified
▪ Videos
Since Google ADORES content-rich websites, it would be smart to feed your PBN sites with unique
content varying between 300 and
1000 words. There isn't a standard number of how many words you should use, but the more the
merrier. Mix it up between your pages!
On-Page SEO Silo
I also recommend interlinking from your homepage to other inner pages on your PBN site. For
example, you can link out to the about us page from your homepage and then link from your
about us to the services page.
This creates a stream of link juice flowing through your website, which is great because now you
can create decent juicy back links from your inner pages to your money site(s). This is called silo-
ing and not only do you silo your money sites, but you also silo your PBN sites. This doesn't take
a lot of work and it's a smart way to leverage MORE from your PBN sites.

BIG TIP
You can also recreate old pages that still have link juice, and by clicking the link below, you'll see
how the exact process works.

Images
When you're adding pages/posts, it would be logical to add niche- related images in your content.
Be sure to add your Alt text and use a broad niche related keyword. (Don't use your exact
keywords)
Domain Buying Checklist
By applying the actions I've mentioned above, you will be able to create clean and natural looking
PBN sites and potentially avoid Google penalties in the future.
But a clean and natural looking PBN starts with having the "right" kind of domains. I'm talking
about PBN domains with the following criteria:
A GOOD domain
- has a brand name
(Business name, person's name, unique name)
- has a natural anchor text profile
(Brand/Domain name, URL, click here, visit site, related keywords)
- has back links from TF10+ PA20+ pages
- hasn't been spammed by SEO's before
- has a clean history – Check the history of a domain here
By Patrick Babakhanian
PBN Mastery
19 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
- Is Indexed in Google
A BAD domain
- has a keyword-stuffed URL
(Example: howtocurebadacne.com, insanity-workout-review.com)
- has an over-optimized & unnatural anchor text profile
(Most anchors have keyword anchors like "how to cure acne fast" or Chinese words)
- has a lot of backlinks from spammy looking blogs
- has been dropped at least 2/3 times by previous owners
- Is de-indexed in Google
Now the following metrics I recommend are guidelines, so that doesn’t mean a domain with
these metrics is necessarily good. The most important factor of a domain is the quality & quantity
of incoming backlinks.
By Patrick Babakhanian
PBN Mastery
20 The Ultimate Checklist Of A Natural Looking Private Blog Network That Rocks
NOTE: Find a domain with at least 5 to 10 high TF/PA links from reliable websites. You can find
this out with tools like MajesticSEO, Ahrefs or Open Site Explorer.
Check the image below (Source: MajesticSEO.com)
Always make sure to research the sources of your backlinks. Having at least 5 – 10 high quality
links from high authority sources ensures that your potential PBN domain has link juice to move
up your websites in the SERPs. SEOs tend to overlook the incoming backlinks tab, which is the
most important of it all.
