We hope you’ve stocked up on charcoal because the Fourth of July long weekend is finally here. All of our most popular recipes this week scream cookout. Start with this crisp watermelon salad with pine nuts and peppery arugula. Then make this chicken salad meets Caesar salad meets pasta salad (the holy trinity). Finally graduate to the main event, these gingery salmon burgers with pickled cucumbers. One reader reports, “I first made it for a late summer, outdoor dinner with friends and every single one wanted the recipe.” You too could be the talk of the town. Scroll down for the most-saved recipes in the Epicurious app this week.

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
