PIN’s: The Future of Private Link Building



1,116 Comments 20 minutes

What I’m going to reveal in this blog post is a strategy that will likely weed out a certain section of the ViperChill audience. In other words, I’m fully aware that this blog post will make a particular type of person unsubscribe from ViperChill and likely never return. It’s certainly not going to end up on the homepage of Inbound.org.

If you are loyal to Google guidelines, the teachings of blogs like Moz and love playing by the book, then you’ll probably realise with this article that we possess a very different perspective.

When I first started my internet journey – where I spent day and night trying to make a living online – I tried and tested more website ideas and angles than you would believe.

Today, I’m still pushing the boundaries to see what works. These boundaries most often pertain to SEO, since it’s what I’ve enjoyed the most over the last 11 years.

I’m in the fortunate position that my business it not tied to some employer who dictates how I have to do things when it comes to promoting web properties. As such, I’m always willing to ignore everything I previously thought about marketing and to be open to new ideas and opportunities.

This blog post details one such opportunity, but I realise it will not be for everyone. Not everyone is the position to implement it for their online business, and even if you are, you may question the ethics of what is coming up.

With that disclaimer out of the way, today I’m going to introduce you to the world of PIN’s. Just before I do that, I want to talk about why I think they’re necessary.

I Predict We’ve Got Four to Five Years Left to ‘Do SEO’ As We Know It

This isn’t some “SEO is Dead” article you see go viral in the SEO blogosphere every six months, but a genuine prediction based on how Google search results have evolved over the last few years.

Google make all of their money via ads so quite simply want more people to click on them (and more often). The less success people have with SEO, the more likely they are to move to Google’s advertising platform.

Long gone are the days when we’re presented with just 10 blue links on a page.

The White Space Between Search Results Has Increased

It’s known that the higher up the page a search result, the more clicks it will receive. Therefore, when organic search results are pushed further down the page they’re going to be receiving fewer and fewer clicks. Not only are they lower down now in mobile results due to spacing, but the change is being tested across desktop results as well.

white-space

The search result on the left includes the new extra spacing with the ads taking up far more vertical space than the search result on the right (graphic via SEMPost).

There Are More ‘Featured Snippets’ Than Ever Before

There isn’t much to say on this one besides feature snippets are to be found for millions of search queries in every industry imaginable. What, when, how and why questions are often answered with a featured snippet box.

what-is

This not only pushes ‘organic’ search results further down in search results, it also attempts to give you the answer right from the results page. We can argue whether or not it’s useful for searchers, but for SEO’s, it gives new meaning to having the top result in Google.

‘Map Packs’ Completely Changed Local Search Results

Some call them ‘map packs’, some ‘the local pack’ and some even call them the ‘snack pack’. Whatever your term of choice, after being introduced a few years ago SEO’s have been trying to figure out how to get themselves and their clients into the pack to compensate for a lack of expected search results.

After all, these local listings take up a large portion of screen real estate.

yelp

I’m not complaining about this change; I’m simply pointing it out. There’s no doubt it makes search results more useful and that is Google’s aim (usually) after all. While Google did reduce the listings from seven to three back in August of 2015, the redesign of the listings with adding spacing means not much changed in terms of organic results being seen.

Those Map Packs Now Contain Ads, Too

We’re not going back to Google updates of a few years ago to make a point about Google evolving. Just last month Google announced that the map / local / snack pack would now include ads, as shown below.

mockup

This image is a mockup by Barry Schwartz, though the real thing looks very similar

It’s interesting to follow both PPC and SEO guys on Twitter and see the difference in reaction. PPC guys are over the moon since it gives them more traffic opportunities for their clients and SEO guy’s, well…I’m sure you can guess the reaction.

Based on how Google’s past, it’s not one of surprise.

They Have All The Answers

The knowledge graph was released in May of 2012 and it’s almost disappointing when you don’t see it for queries when looking for quick answers. For example, when I want to see how my football team, Newcastle, have fared against Liverpool, I literally don’t have to click anywhere.

theanswer

Whether you want to learn about how old someone is, what 12 x 56 is or who discovered Radium, Google has the results right there for you. As a searcher, I love these quick answers, but as an SEO, it’s just one more thing which has lessened the likelihood of people clicking on my website if it doesn’t appear in this box.

They Continue to Make People Scared of Link Building

Google are great at making people fearful of performing any type of SEO. After all, this was the company that introduced the rel=”nofollow” attribute so we could link out to websites without giving them “link juice”.

children

That isn’t the real headline for the article – I’ve got to have some fun in these serious posts – but Google have publicly cracked down on pretty much everything when it comes to link building. The list includes, but is not limited to:

  • Guest posting for links
  • Using directories for links
  • Utilising private blog networks
  • Adding links to website themes
  • Adding do-followed links to widgets
  • They literally created a ‘no-follow’ tag

That’s not all; they openly share how much human intervention is involved in finding people abusing the guidelines, rather than algorithmic. This tweet speaks volumes.

anglo

Anglo Rank was a small network being promoted on the Black Hat World forums.

Just think about this for a second. One of Google’s first employees (and former Head of Web Spam), worth millions of dollars, dedicated his time to actively targeting a tiny little network on some private forum just to scare other people away from doing the same.

The simple fact is that Google can’t figure out with absolutely certainty which links are earned, or bought, or manipulative, very effectively.

Now I’m not taking anything away from Google here. Their company is worth hundreds of billions and mine, well…isn’t. They have undoubtedly created the world’s most sophisticated search engine.

But as I said earlier, it’s far easier for them to get us to police ourselves than it is for them to police us.

Big Brands Dominate the Long Tail

As SEO becomes increasingly difficult and searches are more and more dominated by big brands, the long tail will be the final frontier of search traffic opportunities.

When I said we only have a few years left to do SEO as we know it, the long tail will be where the majority of SEO’s focus their time through on-site SEO changes and content marketing.

While we’ll still have opportunities for SEO to ‘work’, long tail search results just don’t seem to be as diverse as they were in the past. It makes sense to me that Google have some kind of ‘filter’ whereby if they’re not sure what to list for a search result, they simply show more results from an authoritative site to be on the safe side.

future

Logically, this makes sense, but as an SEO, it could be a worrying sign of things to come. You can see this lack of diversification above in my screenshot of the map packs as well, with Yelp dominating the first three organic search results.

The Lack of Diversity in Search Results Will Only Get Worse

If you’ve only found ViperChill recently then it was likely because of my recent article, How 16 Companies Are Dominating the World’s Google Search Results. It has been shared thousands of times on social media and been read over 40,000 times, making it one of the most popular articles I’ve ever written here.

In the article I highlighted how Hearst Media were using their brands like Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan and Woman’s Day to point footer links to a new website of theirs, BestProducts.com.

That strategy, which would get the rest of us penalised, continues to work incredibly well.

bp

“Just follow the Google guidelines.” Why?

Since that post, I was also contacted by a few people associated with the brands I had featured. One of those people I talked with was Tre who works in the growth department of About.com. I had already mentioned in the article how About planned to spin off into many more verticals over the coming months, which he confirmed.

overlap

I admit I’m being a little pedantic with my highlighting, but when you’re Director of Growth for About.com you’re going to share which terms are driving traffic to one site with the team that is in charge of another.

I appreciate Tre’s replies and I’m sure there’s only so much he can say, but About.com’s real goal with their spin-off’s is to no doubt own ten search results, instead of one.

PIN’s: My Version of Fighting Back While I Still Can

When I talked about why I started using private link networks and then continued to use them after Google’s “crackdown”, my primary reason was very simple: Writing quality content and getting ‘whitehat’ links wasn’t working for me. I was being outranked by people with crappy link networks who could build their own ‘relevant’ links on a whim and I decided to fight back.

You could view PIN’s in a similar light. I am utilising them because we’re not competing on a fair playing field, and what is supposed to work is very rarely what ranks, at least in the industries that I operate in.

While I don’t wish to reveal those exact industries, let me give you an example closer to home, with ViperChill.

I will say in advance that this is a search term I really don’t care about ranking for. I have no idea how many times it’s searched for each month and honestly, I doubt it gets many searches at all.

Here are the search results for the query, ‘Future of blogging’.

links

My site is usually either in 10th or 11th for that term, yet by every SEO standard metric I should be number one.

  • I have more links to the page ranking than anyone else
  • I have more ‘domain authority’ than most other pages
  • My title tag seems more relevant than half of them

Yet in order to get more traffic for this search term, which I think I ‘deserve’ from a 10,000 word article which took me weeks to put together, all I have to do is one thing.

It’s not getting more links. It’s not improving my on-site SEO. It’s not building better connections with influencers.

All I need to do to get my traffic back is to add a sentence to the start of the article which says ‘Last updated: July 25th 2016‘.

This is a search result where how recent an article was posted is more important than whether it’s actually a good page to rank.

I don’t actually have to update the article; I literally just need to make it appear to Google – thanks to that one sentence – that my article was updated recently. This one sentence, this ‘trick’, would bring me back the ranking I feel I deserve. (Though, again, I doubt this even gets searched for. It’s just an example).

This is not theory. If you look at the first sentence of my WordPress SEO guide that’s exactly what I’ve done before, with great results.

This little change is not too dissimilar to what I need to rank in other industries. I don’t need better on-site SEO. I don’t need to build natural links from relevant sites through content marketing. I simply need to add more domains to my private link network and write more guest blog posts.

Yes, these are both tactics that are looked down upon by Google, but they still work incredibly well. In 2014 when I covered Google’s crackdown on private blog networks I did mention that they would now be less likely to care about private link networks.

In my exact words:

What I expect to happen is that Google will ease off looking into private networks. The damage is mostly done.

Why? Because they’ve already made people scared to build them. The best way to deal with people trying to game the system is essentially making us as a community police ourselves so we don’t try to game the system in the first place.

The continued use of private link networks and guest posting for SEO is part of the reason why I will get a lot of criticism from this post. How to implement these tactics more effectively, which I’ll talk about later, will be the larger reason for criticism.

The Approach to Take

One of the first ideas I had when I started out online was to assemble a team of people who could work together to build a huge website. At the time I was following the growth of TechCrunch and Mashable and saw how quickly they were able to grow thanks to having a team of writers.

My idea was to essentially connect a team of people who all worked on one website and in return everyone had a percentage ownership. The logic being that working as a team would result in the site growing faster and even if revenue or a sale price was split, we would have more success than working on our own.

It’s a similar idea a number of ViperChill readers had after reading my last article on the small number of brands dominating Google search results.

team

While it’s a nice idea, in theory it doesn’t work so well.

Some will want to dictate the direction of a site that others don’t agree with and more importantly, some people will put in far more work than others. If you’re writing more content than others and your articles are getting better traction, you’re going to want to increase your ownership compared to someone barely putting in any effort.

There is another option you can utilise if you wish to team up with others though, and that’s a PIN.

It comes with all of the benefits of creating your own team, without the downsides of worrying about who is contributing what work.

What the Hell is a PIN?

A PIN is a play on the acronym PBN, which is commonly referred to as a private blog or link network.

I’ve received my fair share of critics over the years for talking about PBN’s and their success – and continuing to build them – but there’s a reason I do: They work.

I simply don’t believe that playing by Google’s rules is always going to get me the results I want. In some industries I wouldn’t make the money I do without them. I don’t use them for clients, but do for my own websites.

Going forward, I think PIN’s are going to be crucial to my success in certain industries, and I think they are going to be crucial to a number of people reading this as well.

PIN, stands for Private Influencer Network.

Before you think that just means making some “friends” online and building up your connections, allow me to continue.

I define a Private Influencer Network as a group of people looking to rank their websites in Google in similar industries (but not the same) who work together to help each other reach their objectives.

Essentially, they use any opportunities they have to build links (such as private blog networks, guest blogging, interviews, blogger round-ups) to send backlinks to other people in their network. In return, other people do the same for them.

The end result is that for the work you would do to build ten backlinks, you can get twenty to forty (of the same quality) in return.

A $100,000/m PIN Operating Right Under Your Nose

I first came across a Private Influencer Network a little over a year ago. A few ‘influencers’ in a particular field were using their private blog networks to – quite simply – link to each other.

I didn’t think much of the tactic at the time, until I found another example of this happening just a few months later.

Then three months after that, I found my third example. This time it really got my attention.

A group of just five people (from what I could tell) were ranking in one of the most profitable industries online and undoubtedly making over $100,000 per month in the process. I operate in the niche, which is how I found their collaboration, and know the numbers very well.

This is when I started working on building my own, PIN.

Finally, the idea to write this blog post came to me when I found yet another PIN. One of the members of this network is one of the most well-known SEO’s on the planet and is reading this article. He already “knows I know.”

If you follow the SEO blogosphere, you’ll undoubtedly know who he is.

One of the sites they are promoting also very likely also makes more than $100,000 per month. I’m not involved in the niche, but I know others who are and with the rankings they have, those numbers wouldn’t surprise me.

I reached out to the owner of the ‘money site’ they had all teamed up to promote. I keep a private database of paid link opportunities and one of them costs more than $10,000 per year. I found their website there, so sent the main owner an email.

impressive

One months revenue spent on link building is a small price to pay when you’re doing huge numbers thanks to gaming Google.

While some would view four to five guys linking to each other to make more than $100,000/m from a one-year-old website as shady and unethical, I’m personally impressed at how well they are crushing a very competitive niche so quickly.

While there is a chance that a PIN could be “outed”, the last two examples I found were so well put together that I’m almost certain I was the only person who connected the dots.

If you’re not trying to rank in an obvious industry that’s constantly monitored by SEO’s – like blogging and internet marketing – the chances of your PIN becoming uncovered are relatively low. Much lower than having your private blog network discovered.

As you’ve probably already figured out more succinctly than I am at getting to the point, members of a PIN use any opportunity they have to ‘link out’ to take care of their whole team.

While I’ve been fairly slow on the uptake to building my own PIN, I have been slowly building them in a few industries over the last few months and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

I didn’t want to write this blog post until I had a better understanding of how to build and manage them, because managing them is actually the most time-consuming part.

You have to make sure everyone in the network is pulling their weight and giving (and getting) equal opportunities. Opportunities, of course, is code for links.

A Real-World Example of How a PIN Works

One of the websites I find myself checking for ideas and inspiration is Entrepreneur.com.

I recently found an article on the website, published by a contributor and not a staff member, which could serve as a great example for how PIN’s work.

Let me say it in bold (for those just skimming) that the example below is totally legitimate.

I’m highlighting it because it’s natural, but could have been used in a non-natural way.

While the screenshot below might be the longest ever embedded by me into a blog post, there is something much more important that I have to say about it.

There is no specific reason I have singled out this article. It was simply the first article on Entrepreneur.com when I was looking to give an example for this post. Proof of that is the date. This article is going live on July 25th whereas this article I’m featuring below is from July 22nd.

It just happened to be a great example to see a PIN (or what could be a PIN), in action.

pngyo

I made the article a little shorter than the original (the screenshot was long enough, I know) but you can see the majority of it here. The first thing you’ll notice is four mentions of Weekdone. Unsurprisingly, these are all links to the company that the author works for.

A good guest article, utilised for a PIN, will link to other recommended resources that are connections of the author. The links should be relevant, but also to other people in your network so that you are ‘owed’ a link back.

Now on the surface (without my large logos stuck over the text) this looks like a totally normal article (albeit with a little overuse of linking back to the authors employer). If you do a little more research, you’ll learn that the other two highlighted companies, Zlien and Mavrck, are actually clients of Weekdone.

In other words, Weekdone likely earn some bonus points from their clients for mentioning them in an article on Entrepreneur.com. I see nothing wrong with this and it’s a one-off occurrence so it’s not done for SEO manipulation; I’m just trying to show how a PIN link looks without actually revealing one.

Essentially everything looks natural until you look under the hood. It’s normal for a client to talk about a company they use, as shown below where the relationship continues.

mavr

Once again, I’m not saying they’re doing anything wrong here. It was one of the top articles on Entreprenuer.com as I was finishing up this article (the post is only three days old) and happened to make a good example.

The truth is that Entrepreneur.com, along with Forbes and the business sections of the Huffington Post, are great resources to see mini PIN’s in action. The people who write content for these sites generally try to get as much out of writing for them as possible.

They link to their friends, and their friends link to them.

A PIN in Action

I wanted to create a graphic for this section but your understanding of the concept is far more important than your ability to decipher my poor Photoshop skills. Before it gets a little bit crazy, I have assumed that there are just two ‘influencers’ in your private network.

The yellow box is your money website (the website you wish to rank in Google).

The brown boxes are private blog sites you own (optional).

The grey boxes are link opportunities you’ve created through guest posting or similar.

begin

While the graphic is admittedly not the prettiest (I did warn you), the concept is very simple.

Some of your private network domains will point links to the other influencer in your network, as will some of your guest posts on other websites.

In return, the other influencer will do the same for you.

Once you start adding more people to your network, things get a little bit more messy, but the principle remains the same.

When I try to visualise this with four influencers as part of your PIN it gets a little ugly, but here goes.

pin2

The golden rule you need to remember is this: If you receive a link from someone from a specific source, you need to replicate the link in kind.

So if you receive a link in a guest post from someone in the network, you need to give them a link from a guest post you write.

Essentially meaning that the work you do for 10 links for yourself gets you 30-40 links in return.
This number varies because sometimes it’s a bit risky (such as using blog networks) to link out to the same sites which are linking to you but you still receive more links than you would have without your network, for essentially the same work.

The Types of Links Which Are Shared

I originally tried to write these guidelines as if there were four people in a PIN but it became a little bit too complicated to read (and write). Instead, I’ll assume there are only two people in your PIN and show you what types of links you could generate or other ways to help each other.

If there are more people in your PIN, which I highly recommend, then understand that Influencer #1 will sometimes link to #2, while #4 sometimes links to number #3 and so on. It’s basically just varying the following link opportunities to keep things fair for everyone.

The types of reciprocation that can take place.

  • You can tweet or Facebook share an article from another influencer
  • You can retweet or publicly thank another influencer for mentioning you
  • You can utilise a guest post opportunity to link to a relevant quote or article from another influencer
  • If you use build private blog networks, you can use some to link to other influencers
  • If you find articles where comments drive traffic to your site, you can inform other influencers
  • When being interviewed you can link to a relevant quote or article from another influencer
  • Sharing link opportunities you find on your site they can utilise for theirs
  • Offering website design advice
  • Utilising Web 2.0 properties to give links and get the same in return

If performed properly, there is no reason to hide that you have a connection with other influencers in your niche. The only thing you would have to care about is that the obvious mission for having these connections is to help each other’s search engine rankings.

If you are outside of the internet marketing world you don’t really have to worry about other people finding your private link networks, but always keep a few rules in mind to avoid footprints.

Ready to Build Your Own PIN? Here’s My Advice

If you see the benefits of utilising a PIN for your own search engine rankings, and actually getting more than rankings in return, then here’s my advice for setting one up.

A PIN Must Have a Leader

As I mentioned earlier, I didn’t want to write about this topic until I had attempted to do it myself.

My short but relevant experience tells me that there has to be one person (or two at most) who is in control of the group you gather together to make sure that everyone in the team is pulling their weight.

In other words, you need to make sure that the people who are receiving links are doing their part in giving them as well.

The leader must also make sure that members of the team are active. It’s no use everyone playing along for the first few weeks while the idea is hot and then dropping off the map.

Bringing Together Your Team

While some of you may be excited about getting started on this – and some horrified that I’m even talking about it – there’s one important caveat to keep in mind.

Do not bring anyone into your team who has never shown any self-drive in terms of search engine optimisation.

If someone:

  • Doesn’t already have a website they wish to rank
  • Doesn’t regularly produce content for their own sites or others
  • Doesn’t have at least a basic knowledge of SEO fundamentals

Don’t invite them to be part of your network.

I assumed this would be the case from the start of building my own, but I’m even more sure of it after trying to get other people excited about the idea who weren’t actually willing to contribute to the rest of the teams’ success as a whole.

A simple test to see if someone would be right to join your network is to send a candidate over to this article and have them read about this concept for themselves.

If they don’t immediately “get” the idea and they don’t reply with something like “I can see this working well” then it’s not someone you want on your team.

You shouldn’t have to convince anyone to work with you. They should see it for themselves. If they’re against it because of ethical reasons, then that’s totally fine (and understandable) but again, it’s a sure sign that they’re not someone you want in your team.

As far as communication goes, there are a few platforms out there that would be useful.

You could create a Skype group where people get together. I certainly recommend that everyone get on a call together at least some point to make sure you all understand each other’s roles.

Slack is another good option, as you can keep up to date via their mobile app and have a history of previous agreements.

A private Facebook group is another good option.

Both Slack and Facebook allow there to be a leader who can add or remove members to the network.

The platform is really up to you. My only recommendation is not to lay out all your plans in Google Docs ;).

Take One Step Back from Your Current Niche

It should be obvious but I’ll state it anyway: You don’t want to work with people who are targeting the same keywords as you.

However, you still want to connect with people who are in a relevant niche (I’ll give you the chance to connect with ViperChill readers at the bottom of this post). For instance, if you’re promoting your real estate website then it makes sense to team up with other realtors, just not for the same region.

If you’re in the weight loss niche then it makes sense to collaborate and grow your audience with other people in that niche, but target different keywords and / or promote different types of products and services.

Whatever niche you’re in, imagine you’re shopping for that specific industry on Amazon but go back one category to find people to work with. Again, I’ll give you the opportunity to find PIN partners at the end of this article.

Footprints are Hard to Find, But Still Be Careful

From the PIN’s I’ve discovered and the ones I’m working on myself, I’ve found you really don’t have to be too careful when it comes to leaving some kind of footprint. After all, it doesn’t ring any alarm bells when Copyblogger keeps mentioning Problogger or Mashable keep linking to TechCrunch. It’s “natural” and something you can expect from the owners of websites who have developed friendships with each other.

Where you have to be careful is primarily with private blog networks and not creating footprints of clearly linking back and forth to each other from the same sites at all times. Of course, you don’t have to use private networks, but remember for each link you give out, you can get three to four back, so it can dramatically speed up the process of ranking your site.

You Need to Know How the Microphone Works

And how to sing.

One of my favourite authors, Daniel Priestley, said the following in his book The Key Person of Influence;

You don’t need to know how the microphone works, you need to know how to sing.

He was referring to the technology behind the microphone and how, when it was first invented, your time would have been better spent learning how to sing than how a microphone worked, if you wanted to reach a lot of people.

When it comes to ranking in Google, I don’t think that’s the case. You need to know how the microphone works and how to sing.

There are going to be people who worry I’m encouraging armies of people to come together to take over the Google search results.

The truth is that I don’t believe people who can’t sing – in this case, can’t produce great results for search engine users – will have much long-term success.

There’s no point putting all of the work into your PIN if the end result is going to be a crappy website.

The third example of a PIN that I mentioned earlier now easily does in excess of over $100,000 per month. What I didn’t yet tell you is that they built a fantastic resource for their industry. The site doesn’t have many pages (less than 50), but each one genuinely solves a question that a particular searcher is looking for an answer to.

I don’t view utilising a PIN as a way to “sneak” up the Google results and send thousands of visitors to an ad-riddled website.

Instead, I see it as a way to help you start getting great content noticed that could attract natural links once it is.

I mentioned at the start of this article that I would likely weed out some of the audience of ViperChill. I want to make it clear though that I’m not trying to help people with shitty websites rise to the top of Google.

While I believe there is a great opportunity here, it isn’t easy. Turning the concept into reality sounds much easier on paper (or in a blog post).

The truth is that when it comes to making money online, most people are, quite simply…lazy.

They may be excited about this idea for a few weeks but if you’re going to use this to rank in an industry worth ranking for, you should be aiming for keywords that take a few months to get any serious traction for.

Links Aside, The Connections You Build Can Be Invaluable

I’ve already briefly talked about the other benefits this kind of network can have, besides link building.

You can connect with people who have a genuine passion for your industry who in turn spur you on to put more work into your site and help you improve your online ventures. Whether that’s giving advice on your design, your writing, your strategy or anything else.

Working online can seem lonely at times, especially if your offline friends don’t have an inkling to do anything online. When you’re aiming to make money from your web projects it’s nice to find other people on the same journey.

In my future of blogging post a few years ago, one of the most popular on the site, I mentioned how some bloggers had worked together to help grow their respective audiences in the same industry.

TechCrunch and Mashable grew incredibly quickly at the same time while investors were putting more and more of their money into web-based projects. They mentioned each other thousands of times.

Smaller operations – though still huge – like Copyblogger and Problogger would guest post on each others’ sites, promote each other’s products, send traffic to each other via their email lists and essentially enhanced both of their own images through their connection.

I took the time to actually figure out how many times some sites mentioned each other, which you can see in the graphic below.

promo

While links were a key factor in all of these partnerships, I wouldn’t essentially class them as private link building. Most of the links didn’t include any specific anchor text and they weren’t to random affiliate sites or anything like that. All of them were trying to build authoritative online businesses and found someone with a similar passion on the same journey.

While TechCrunch and Mashable were almost in direct competition with each other, they still highlighted the stories that the other site got to first. Michael Arrington later sold TechCrunch to AOL for $25m. Pete Cashmore is still the CEO of Mashable though according to Politico.com, is trying to sell the site for around $300-$350m.

That’s a partnership that certainly paid off for both of them. Pete holding out six years on his sale seems to have been a smarter choice, however.

A Facebook Group to Find PIN Partners

For what is probably a very limited time only, I’m giving access to a private Facebook group where people can assemble together to potentially build their own Private Influencer Network.

I don’t want the comments here to be full of pitching opportunities, so let’s take this elsewhere to see what industries you’re working with.

    I am very tempted to do this because this seems like it can definitely work if done the right way. Unfortunately I dont seem to have the privilge you enjoy with experimenting. Having said that this post has definitely inspired me, let me do some thinking and sketch out a plan with minimal risks.

    I 100% agree with you that this is the future of SEO and the next step after the PBN train. Would recommend anyone serious about SEO to get on this now before it becomes too mainstream.

    Hey Glen!

    I’ve been trying to put my experiences on my personal blog after 4 years of testing, churning, failing and winning with SEO and an article on something like “PIN” is what I was working at as well. I stopped writing mid-way because this surely out performs what I was writing. You’re badass, you mention details like a baby would understand. I generally don’t write if I can not better them and this post is one of such.

    I’ve seen every SEOs on earth who we all know or at least are famous doing “PIN” all the time. Damn! Someone needed to explore this maths about SEO!

    Keep ’em coming! Great work!

    Best,
    Naman Nepal.

    Hey Glen,

    You’re usually on the button.

    After your last post, I got the idea of taking advantage of business partners with a web presence. I got links to my main commercial site, inserted in the partner’s footers.

    Bam – 4 weeks later, my traffic & rankings up about 30%

    So yah, I wouldn’t be surprised if what you said here, really pans out.

    Another awesome post. Thanks

    After almost 16 years of having the puppet master pulling my strings to follow the (remember?) Google Dance, your great article spoke to me directly. I belong to sevral FB private groups, in a couple of them some of the guys are raking it in with a similar linking system. I’ve been sort of leery to try it, but I think now, you have convinced me and I thank you. I would really appreciate joining your private group to learn the best ways to do it.

    Thanks again, you are one heck of a good writer!

    I’ve done this, and it does work, and I think your tips are valid. We did not have a “leader” and I think that is one of the reasons why it fell apart. Some people got hit with penalties as they weren’t careful enough, some were in very, very competitive niches that had eyes everywhere, and some started blasting their PBN’s linking to your money site with terrible links to try to build their juice. PBN”s started getting deindexed, and then you start getting nervous about working with them going forward because of it.

    In the end there were only a few of us and I gave up on it and decided to put my energy into building my own net with my own stuff that I have 100% control over. I’m still in teh Skype group but don’t pay much attention to it anymore.

    So while it can absolutely work, you need a leader for sure to watch what everyone is doing and also need to always be looking for additional people and replacements because inevitably people fall out for one reason or another. And be very, very careful who you work with.

    The main problem with SEO in not the fact, that it’s not working, but the marketing goal behind it. Google is trying to take advantage of their ad inventory as much as possible and for all of the commercial queries it will be, more or less, a “pay to play” game.

    Days, where it was easy to take a bite of this traffic are definitely over. As a person, who offer PPC services, I can say that right now are really good times for people who specialize in paid advertising, as the demand for this kind of services is really high.

    Google don’t care that much about long tail traffic either. Their main focus are high volume keywords, popular demand products and repeatable purchases. The rest of the traffic, concerning the upper sections of the purchase funnel, is left for SEOs.

        No problem Glen – It’s just infuriating to see the industry constantly preaching white hat when in reality I see spam dominating the SERPs everyday. White hat SEO is just good marketing but competitive keywords require that extra push and guest posting will only get you so far. Anyways would appreciate an invite to the fb group you can find me at facebook.com/noindexplz/.

    As mentioned in one of my comments long back, the reason I follow your posts is because they are DIFFERENT, realistic and straight to the point. I have been struggling with SEO and have edited my articles as much as I can and all using WHITE HAT. Although I do not belong to the group of people who blindly follow the phrase “follow google”, I did what I could. That included advertisements, adjusting sentences, replacing words, putting in links. Well, truth is I was never satisfied. Nor were the results any better. My articles were specifically meant for a specific group. However, the specific group could be reached only if the site showed up in searches.

    Your articles have proven, each time, that blindly following certain rules don’t work and a revolutionary thinking is definitely needed. PIN is an excellent idea. An idea with a foundation, logical clarity and at the same time an inherent flexibility. Waiting for more from you.

    Thanks for sharing your creative ideas.

    Incredible (and dangerous) information here. The PIN concept under different names has gone back and forth from favor and usually the semi-public ones burn because of the laziness of the membership. Hopefully that is not the case here…

    Great post Glen, i like the idea, though I think is something that comes naturally when one creates a quality blog and makes friend within a niche. I already link to my buddies, and get linked by them, on a regular basis, which seems perfectly normal to me.

    Nevertheless, I think it might be useful to learn techniques to systematize this. I’d like to have access to the group. MGM.

    Interesting take on this Glen. I’ve been watching “SEO experts” use this tactic for years to rank their own sites but would never help their clients do the same. I finally gained access to a few large sites like HuffPost, Entrepreneur, Life Hack, and business.com and have been leveraging them to grow my own network. I’m interested in checking out your FB group and just submitted a request. My initials are RL.

    This makes for a great read. Gets one to zoom out and think about the bigger picture.

    This is also a reminder of the fact that one strategy is not enough. You can blog all you want, if you never end up getting PR from it or some complementary form of traction, you won’t be at the top. (The book Traction is a good way to reflect on the topic and prepare a plan of attack.)

    Likewise, people who run MasterMinds or help one another will do better than lonewolves.

    Hey Glen, my wife was a writer for About.com for a number of years until about 2 months ago, and you’re not actually correct about their motivations. They started experiencing dramatic SERP and traffic losses in a lot of verticals in the last few years, and made tons of changes to try to combat that. When the issues started, the site was hideously optimized for social (and had a poor design in general), and the vast majority of traffic came through organic search.

    They have been frustrated with Google over the last few years, since they started having organic traffic/rankings issues. This led them to move their focus much more to social optimization and traffic, while still attempting to optimize for organic rankings.

    The move to different websites makes clear sense because they don’t want to be like Wikihow and those other annoying 10-step answer sites. They want to be able to be authorities in their space(s). How many informational sites are there these days that are authorities on everything? Quality sites? Few, if any.

    People trust and look for websites that are specialists in niches. We don’t want generalists (and neither does Google). They took a while to figure that out, but it will help them with social sharing and likely organic rankings as well. The getting multiple spots in the SERPs thing could be a nice bonus, but it definitely wasn’t the motivation for them doing this.

    Very interesting article and I’ve already noticed these private influencer networks popping up, especially in the manosphere. Lots of blogs about fitness, motivational stuff and other manosphere topics link to each other all the time. They’re all more or less “friends” who met online and constantly promote each others stuff across their own blogs and social media sites.

    Anyways, thanks for the article, I just joined the group on Facebook and my name there is the same as here.

    Insightful post as always bro. In hard times people have often clubbed together to be stronger together than they would be on their own. This is clearly the seo equivalent.

    I’m ranking for keywords that I can rank for with just personal pbn at the moment, but gonna keep my eye on this movement. If (big if) done properly it can clearly be lucrative for all involved.

    Something I think worth mentioning is that with ads getting more and more space above organic search results, it’s important to diversify by building funnels that begin with paid traffic.

    Don’t wanna be too reliant on either traffic source, especially organic, with the way things are heading.

    I think PIN is what industry experts use already, at-least in in SEO industry. The big players attend so many conferences, summits meet people across the industry network and share links.

    They all are well linked, no wonder they get great links and also get big brands who anyway loved by Google. Rich gets richer is the theory.

    Yes, small business players loose out on this but networking is the key.

    I love reading your posts and following your courses because the strategies you teach they simply work. And for the people not wanting to come to the “dark side”, good luck trying to follow the “recommended” practices. Big players use the system to their advantage, so we, the smaller players need to do what we can to game it as well. Thanks Glenn.

    Forgive me if i seem obtuse but this seems to be a further extension of the well established axiom: Quality content which is thoroughly syndicated. This is basically how the WWW works, the interconnections of relevant interest materials forms ‘web nodes’ of content which links which creates link bundles – perhaps I missing something here but it this does not seem to be that revolutionary?

    Glen,

    You put up huge posts I mean with Quality insights how Google plays by their own rules.

    And the big brands utilizing their own network of media sites to outrank other small players like the one you mentioned in your previous posts (best products), I have been digging into this ever since there are many such brands which outright rakes in 1000’s of rankings using their own network – they are safe and still going strong. I am monitoring a lot of these sites to see what happens – whether they will take hit or not !

    PIN is good concept as you said when you have the right team. Will give this a try, don’t want to be left behind.

    Again Glen, do appreciate for time and effort you put in to research and write insightful blogposts. 🙂

    Hats Off to Glen Alsop.

    Mate,

    A fantastic fucking article as always. It’s along the lines of an idea I’ve been toying with for a little while now, but with a twist.

    A local version. The idea is to build a network of local business owners, influencers and service providers to share links to each other, cross-promote, build JV’s, etc. and basically help each other grow.

    Thoughts? I imagine it would be quite a bit easier to rank for this kind of local terms using the same PIN type method than for global search terms. Plus I love the idea of building small biz in my city (and getting some clients out of it too!).

    Hey Glen!

    Really very helpful post. you can follow one person and/or one orgn when they are leaving no option for you rather then just chasing them. you really dared to put other side of the game which people might like or not (specially by GIN, hope people understand its meaning).
    It’s not about pointing or disclosing some info, it is all about finding something which can help those who are helpless in this game. It’s not some kind of shortcut or hack, its just how human being works in this world and how only few people/orgn just own the major part, mostly by some kind of games.
    I feel really good to subscribe earlier for your post and eagerly waiting for next one.

    Does it need to be private? I’m looking at one of Abouts new web properties, and in the header there is a plainview link to “join the network” with your website. This would imply that not only are they creating new brands, but new networks, in broad daylight.

    Whenever I see post like this about the seo changing, I often get nervous. Maybe because I am still new and feared that I loose out for starting out late. But I have to see that myself later as you said it is still 4 -5 years more.

    Regarding the strategy you write here, I think its brilliant, its not gaming google, but helping each other to attain common goal ethically. I really like how honest you are with the results of the research you are doing.

    Thanks for this, Glen

    Glenn, this is an excellent post.

    I have been working on my own site and have observed the strategy of promoting multiple clients in the blog posts on media sites many times. You took it to another level.

    PIN will also give more ROI on the efforts spent earning a link. A guest post on a top blog does not come easily. But by promoting others, the RoI be much higher.

    Thanks,
    PD

    ML – Great article and looking forward to joining the group. If SEO or “organic” search will be gone as we know it in 4-5 years, are you saying “all” search will be paid? Not sure if I agree but the trend seems to support that. Just not sure people won’t start relying more and more on alternative engines such as Bing. Time will tell though

    I love these posts that give you the nuts and bolt s behind the idea and not some general blanket advice, like “get friends to link to you”

    The question, though is why would you have to even worry about hiding said connections at all? If you are on the face connected to each other, on social, even in “real” life, of course you would be linking to each other , right?

    I mean, a happenstance meeting on twitter or facebook leads to a conversation which leads to a friendship. That is completely believable and above board.

    As long as you stay within the trend graph of friends linking to each other, you won’t even have a human eyes on it.

    This. I like this.

    This is the best article I’ve read on your site till date.

    And let me provide some context behind this sentence.

    First, it’s not that other articles were behind in terms of actionable tactics, steps, and whatnot… Most of your content is game changing. But this… this is something else. This is Visionary!

    Few reasons why:

    It’s not black hat any more… Not that I weren’t enjoying reading about the other strategies, and not that many of them were totally unfamiliar to myself and the guy I’m working with, but black hat is not how we roll. Forget about ethics, it’s purely a challenge game. White hat is way more satisfying, challenging, and most of all gives you the option to one day stand behind a solid project with your name on it (releasing our huge fitness product in one month or so).

    This my friend, is visionary because it combines white hat with the ability to scale. Something that resides in the realm of growth hacking. Am I in? You bet.

    Creating content is a real joy for me, and I truly believe I can contribute to the right team.

    Hey,

    “Links Aside, The Connections You Build Can Be Invaluable” So to sum up the article: build relationships with similar companies but not (too) competitive and use those relationships to help each other.

    Looking forward to the second post about PINs where you share some results.

    Hey Glenn,

    Great article write up and post, if put together properly with a niche related team, this can be a High Level SEO process/concept that would work well. It is almost like link swapping back in the day, but everyone that did it then used their money site on a links page. Can you say FOOTPRINT. This concept is brilliant, but the only down fall I can see is if people are not pulling their weight or how they SEO some of their own properties.. But still an incredible concept and this would work to help promote many money sites.

    But what you have described sounds very much like normal social interaction. I suppose one can argue that it is contrived but isn’t it entirely natural for people in a similar space to be reading about others’ sites and interacting with them?

    I launched a gaming site this year and of course I followed all the key gaming blogs already because hey it’s something I’m into. When my site hit a certain standard other bloggers took note and because they are interested in this topic they followed it too. If I write something good, they’ll link to it and share their own thoughts. If they ask me for comment I’m flattered and heck I’d love for them to contribute to my blog cos you know I’ve been following them for years. The type of network you described then forms – naturally. There is no cynical ploy here but yeah I don’t mind if it makes my site look good to Google.

    These are just normal social interactions played out on the web. The word “social” on the web isn’t idiosyncratic, it accurately describes what’s going on. If it works that’s because Google recognises these kind of patterns as normal. Can this be “faked”? Well is it fake if a group of blogs are interacting and talking and sharing? I don’t see why it matters or how you could ever distinguish between contrived networking and natural in this scenario.

    “Hey I like your blog, let’s chat and become friends and help each other out”

    “Hey I like your blog, let’s chat and become friends and help each other out because that will help us rank”

    How can Google ever know the difference and does it matter? Why wouldn’t we expect this to happen.

    I feel as though this article is trying to convince us you just invented the Wheel!

    Great article, thanks for the monster overview. In fact guest-blogging or article-exchange is some kind of low-level PIN.

    Actually, it is time to get some serious new search engine. Without all those “personalized results” and all that unpredictable crap. Google sucks in many niches because they simply cannot recognize e.g. scientific pro site from the heely-feely blog. They are spreading like cancer, continually removing unpaid results and competition from SERP. And providing more and more ads and more spying on users. Not good… The problem of Google is that they are search engine and biggest ad seller in the same time. We obviously see the winning part.

    Absolutly right. This is the way to go even 5 years back when the dances of Google started to happen.

    P.S. However how are you going to stop anyone from Google to sneak in and see wahts goign on?

    Been struggling with some of the same issues that you describe with a client’s website. Domain authority is much higher than higher ranking sites. Number of back links much higher. Technical SEO is tight. We go down a list of ranking factors…check, check, check. But these other crappy sites are out ranking our client’s site. Looking for a new approach.

    Thanks for the article!

    Hey Glen

    I feel there is distinct similarity here with something you talked about a few years ago: making connections with other people in your industry. Basically build your network with other influencers and help promote each other. Feels like a progression in the same vein.

    I think you have highlighted something that is going on a great deal with many people in their quiet little huddles. I don’t see any reason that this is unethical – people in business have been helping each other out for millenia and ‘old boy networks’ will continue for ever more.

    Always enjoy reading your insights, I have done for many years now.

    ViperChill strikes again, while ruffling the feathers of the Big Boys and Big G. Good on you bro, the article was fantastic and a testament to the underhanded dealings of the conglomerates online greasing the palms of G to get the upper hand in the SERPs.

    They claim to give their results based on the relevance and best use of the user, but you can plainly see they are just serving search results based on their own revenue interests.

    Thanks man, keep testing and giving us, small fries, the heads up on what’s going on and how to still go Guerrilla warfare on these guys.
