A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a highly controversial yet common tactic for Sidebar Backlinks to manipulate rankings in search engine results. As familiar as many people are with PBNs in their typical definition, Sidebar PBNs draw more and more interest as a specialized variation targeting sidebar links instead. Now we shall plunge into what Sidebar PBNs are, how they work, and their effectiveness as well as risk in the realm of SEO.
What is Sidebar PBN?
A Sidebar PBN is a private network of websites from which the site’s owner gets backlinks to influence the ranks of a target domain vis-a-vis using any backlinks inserted into the sidebar section of a site. The term sidebar refers to a design element usually located at the left or right side of the main tract of a webpage. On it might be navigation links, advertisements, current posts, or external links.
In SEO, Sidebar PBNs represent a way to control the link profile of a whole network of sites. Typically, a link placed in the sidebar would be shown on virtually all of the site’s pages (if it is part of a site-wide design). Accordingly, a sidebar backlink is to be viewed by both users and bots across multiple pages, enhancing the ability to gain visibility and link juice.
