There are not very much of the articles on the web that exactly explains the difference between a Private Blog Network and a Guest Blog. Before we understand the difference between these closely related SEO backlinking techniques, we need to know a little bit about what these individual techniques means.
What is a Private Blog Network (PBN)?
A
Private Blog Network (PBN) is a network of authoritative websites used to build links to your money website(s) for the purpose of ranking higher in the Google search engine. A money website is the website you intend on ranking i.e. the one that actually makes money. This can also refer to a clients website.
What is a Guest Blog?
The term
Guest Blogging or Posting is used to describe an article from a third party author on a blog or a website. In many cases it is a one-time or sporadic cooperation.
Understanding the Difference between Guest Blog and PBN
- A guest blog or guest blogging website is usually created to provide informative content to readers with a very little focus on building backlinks for other websites where as a PBN is created merely to get some link authority (backlinks) to "Money Website" (It can be your own website or client's business website).
- Guest blogging websites are usually well-structured having proper categorisation of content where as most PBN follow very basic website structure having 2-3 tabs wiz. Home, About Us, Contact Us etc.

Guest Blog Example

|
- A Guest Blog allow third party blogger to contribute useful content to their website. This can be paid or unpaid where as a PBN usually not allow 3rd party content post on their website.
- A PBN is primarily made for backlinks purpose where as a Guest Blog may or may not offer backlink to the contributor's website.
- A guest blog has high quality useful content which is added only after proper moderation of content by guest blogging website editor or Admin. But in case of a PBN, the content quality may or may not be that much high.
- Promotional content is prohibited here and you have to follow the content guidelines of guest blog for getting your content published to that website. For PBN network, which is made my a person/SEO professional the content is usually promotional and doesn't have such kind of content guidelines as in case of a guest blog.
- The choice is domain name is also an important point of difference in a guest blog and PBN. The PBN domain names are usually less generic and doesn't define the category of blogging well. For example: A PBN focusing on "Racing Car" will usually not have a domain having car and racing like words in the domain. It will some cost effective domain bought at low price. It can like acbranger.com , krismaticThings. com etc.But in case of a guest blog, the root domain will exactly define the category of the guest blogging website. For example, a SEO related guest blogging website will have URL like this seo-hacker .com
- A Guest Blogging website usually have one button/page for asking global writers to write for them or do guest blogging on their blogging website. "Contribute, Write for Us, Guest Post, Write a Guest Post, Make a Post" are some usual phares used for this. A PNB doesn't have such kind of pages.
I think, it is now very much clear to you the major difference between a Guest Blogging website and A PBN network.
