Once your network is set up, your blogs are hosted and your content is primed, you need to look at private blog network management options.
Posting content to your domains
If you are using Wordpress this should be pretty straightforward. Login, add a post, copy, paste and publish. Things get far more complicated once you have 10, 50 or even 100 blogs. You can task a VA with uploading all your content, but we’d recommend looking at using automated tools. These allow you to plan and schedule the delivery of your content with ease.
Some WP management tools such as MainWP have content posting baked in. Content generators such as Seo Content Machine and Kontent Machine also come with posting tools baked in.
We’ve also used FCS Networker and Rankwyz to post directly to networks of our own blogs. This works as well as the Web 2 networks they are designed to post to, and we have been happy with the results.
Once nice advantage of using a link building tool such as FCS is they make it quite easy to do everything in one place. You can generate your content, diversify your anchor links, link to authorities, schedule and post.
Better yet, their tiering system mean you can boost your own PBN posts with contextual Web 2 posts and social signals automatically.
Building links to your PBN posts as soon as they go live can help increase the relevancy of your linking pages. Over time it will raise the authority of your blog. If you really want to go to town, you can then pump your web 2.0 posts with a tool like GSA.
Wordpress management: Updates, Hackers And Backups
Wordpress makes life easy for PBN owners, and is by far the most popular choice of SEOs. But its vast popularity also makes it a massive target for hackers – and it is not the most secure web app out there.
Imagine the pain of putting all that work into building your network up only to have some script kiddie destroy it. All that will be left is a bunch of Viagra links…
It’s vital you keep your CMS systems up to date. Its even more important that you take regular backups of your PBN sites. This way a server failure, site hack or simple mistake doesn’t take down some of your most important links.
There are a number of WP management tools out there that can handle bulk wordpress, plugin and theme updates. MainWP is the one we are most familiar with.
While we haven’t used the content management...
