<b>Tier-two link laundering, spotted in the wild</b>

<b>Tier-two link laundering, spotted in the wild</b>

Word is the grey-hat crews moved their PBNs back a layer. Instead of pointing a private network at the money site, they point it at Web 2.0 properties, press releases and parasite pages — then THOSE link the target. Launders the footprint one hop deeper.

What the public profile shows:
— The money site's direct backlinks look surprisingly clean — Medium, LinkedIn pulse, a few PR wires
— But run those clean-looking donors back through Ahrefs and their OWN backlinks are a swamp of PBN spam
— Tell: the parasite pages have near-zero organic traffic but inexplicably high DR

The whole point is that a one-level audit comes back clean. You have to audit the donors of the donors. Multiple profiles in finance and crypto show pristine tier-one and a sewer at tier-two. The laundering is real and it's two clicks deep. Watch this space.
