Questions Regarding PBN Domain Selection & Low-Budget Strategy
Hello Sir,
I hope you’re doing well. I’ve been following your YouTube content closely, and it has been extremely helpful. I have a few questions regarding PBNs and domain selection, especially from a low-budget perspective.
1. GoDaddy Closeout Domains vs High-Value Auction DomainsIf I’m unable to afford high-quality auction domains, is it still worth purchasing domains from GoDaddy closeouts? I’ve found some domains with:
- 100–300 referring domains
- 1,500–3,000 backlinks
- Clean backlink profiles (as per SEMrush)However, their authority (SEMrush/Moz) is quite low, typically between 3–6.Should I consider these domains, or are they not effective enough for PBN use?
2. Using Expired Local Business Domains for PBN LinksIf I acquire an expired domain that previously belonged to a local business (e.g., a contractor from another city/state), and it has:
- 100–200 referring domains
- 500–600 backlinks
Can I use it to link to my website, even if my site is in a different location or niche?Will Google still pass value, or will the relevance mismatch reduce effectiveness?
3. Anchor Text & Relevance ConcernsSince most backlinks pointing to such domains are niche-specific (related to their original business), will pointing links from this PBN to my site still work effectively?How should I handle anchor text in this case?
4. Minimum Criteria for Low-Budget Domain SelectionAs I’m working with a limited budget, I’d really appreciate guidance on minimum thresholds. For example:
- Minimum authority (SEMrush/Moz)
- Minimum referring domains
- Backlink quality benchmarks
At what point should I consider a domain “too weak” or not worth buying?
