Which makes your life harder as a legitimate business owner with a website.

Black-Hat SEO

A PBN or Private Blog Network is simply a means for providing a website with some links to make it appear to be more important than it is. The concept is that the links lend more domain authority or votes to one central website. More links equal more authority and so on.

But the problem is that once Google and other search engines discover the back-linking scam, ALL of the websites involved will be removed from all search engine results. So how much traffic would you get from search engines that remove all of your web pages from their results?
