So say I head over and grab a few aged expiring domains from Godaddy Auctions
Then I build them into a nice little PBN, but instead of pointing them at my money sites I point them at my competition.
Strikes me this will be the latest NSEO tactic enabled by Google.

Arrgh, I did not think in that direction, now I depressed. You are right, as always.

Latest? That's so old it doesn't actually work anymore.

+Dan Petrovic tactic may be old but penalty is brand new.

You point enough crap at a site, some of it will stick.
Reports that I am reading from recent pbn penalties, is that one or two links from a pbn resulted in penalty.
It also is suggested that any association by whois was also enough in the recent slaughter

What was also interesting is that in the case of guest blogging hit the penalty was a spam notice, so you no followed the links and recovery was quick.
The pbn are receiving thin content penalties, whilst some sites might be, the ones who are going public do not contain thin content. .. so it is going to be a bitch to recover.

It would be, but for one important factor…

What for? A public statement? Richard and I have concluded our business in private.

Ok then.

Sasch has a slightly more nuanced view on the capacity for what I mentioned to work. Let's leave it at that.
