Do you have your own sites network as Private Blog Networks?

No, we don't own websites. We only publish on partners websites. It can be a blog or a press group website. We avoid strategies as PBN because it can be subject to penalties if the network is detected.

PBN are mostly based on websites with no business value: with low or zero traffic, positioning, no real blogger, no social media… This is not sustainable and a netlinking strategy can't be implemented only on a PBN. Google alogrithm increasingly detects a website ecosystem. As proof, the last Google EAT updates: Nicolas talks about it on this panel. As Google is more and more strict, it is essential to work with quality websites so as to avoid fake and detectable features to ensure a long-term strategy.

We have a large selection of websites, with all CMS: WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Dotclear, PrestaShop, Magento, Arfooo… These websites are listed by topics (approximately 50) et by quality index (our JuiceFlow).

Do you contact customers from web agencies?

We never contact our customers clients. If one of your customers gets in touch with us directly for a new campaign, we'll automatically get a notice about a publisher website registered twice. In this particular case, we get in touch with the web agency to keep the staff informed.

Can I suggest media to insert in the articles?

better positioned on Google. Our partners websites can boost their visibility with quality contents

words article will actually have 450 to 550 words. A 1000 words article will actually have 900 to
1000 words.
