Should You Interlink Your PBN Sites?

You’ve built multiple PBN sites. They’re clean. They’re live. They’re linking to your money site.

Now comes the question: Should you interlink them?

The short answer? Usually no.

Let’s dig into when — if ever — interlinking PBN backlinks is acceptable, and what top-tier PBN building services do to stay on Google’s safe side.

What is PBN Interlinking?

Interlinking means placing links between your own PBN sites.

Example:

  • PBN Site A links to PBN Site B

  • PBN Site B links to PBN Site C

  • And they all link to your money site

This creates a mini-web of connections — but it also creates a footprint if not handled carefully.

Why Interlinking is Risky

Interlinking multiple PBNs:

  • Makes it obvious they’re controlled by the same owner

  • Forms detectable link patterns

  • Increases the chance of a manual review

  • Can result in mass deindexation if one site gets flagged

Google is good at pattern detection. If you interlink recklessly, your whole network could go down in flames.

When Interlinking Might Be Safe

There are rare exceptions.

  1. Cross-Niche Authority Sites
    If you’ve built a few PBNs that are real sites with legitimate content and organic traffic, and they naturally reference one another, interlinking might be okay.

  2. Staggered, One-Way Linking
    Example:

  • PBN A links to PBN B

  • PBN B doesn’t link back

  • No obvious loop or ring structure

  1. Using 301 Redirects or Buffer Pages
    Instead of direct links, some SEOs use buffer pages or redirects to link one site to another. Risky, but possible.

Safer Alternative: Interlink Within Each PBN Site Only

The best practice is:

  • Build internal links inside each PBN site

  • Link from one article to another on the same domain

  • Strengthen site structure without cross-site patterns

This is safe, boosts indexation, and gives your PBN backlinks more contextual weight.
