PBN footprints: what exposes a network, and how to remove it
The network, software, registration and content footprints that reveal private blog networks, and practical ways to avoid each one.
A footprint is any trait your sites share that connects them. On their own they mean little; together they draw the outline of a network.
Step by step
Network traces
Shared IP ranges, CDN accounts and name servers. Spread sites across many accounts, chosen per site.
Software traces
Version tags, generator meta tags, discovery links and XML-RPC. Zinn® Footprint removes 106 of them.
Registration traces
Identical registrant details, registrar and dates. Use privacy and vary how you acquire domains.
Content and link traces
Identical outbound link patterns, analytics IDs and authors. Audit and vary outbound links.
Hosting cannot fix a careless network, but it can remove the traces you do not control.
