All the best for this but what is your goal ? How much return do you expect and in what time ?

 

[MisterF]

Out of interest are you purchasing these services openly ( using your BHW username ) or not revealing who you are?

All the best for this but what is your goal ? How much return do you expect and in what time ?

Just for the website to rank. It's an experiment as to the effectiveness of BHW services, answering the question "What does $1,000 and no effort get you"

 

[khalid87]

Out of interest are you purchasing these services openly ( using your BHW username ) or not revealing who you are?

Yes openly, although that shouldn't make a difference. It's moving away from the sales thread just so users have a place to see a single review easily rather then embedded in 800 replies like most sales threads are.

The only problem is that you won’t know which one of those services had the biggest effect (positive or negative).

Also there are a lot of other factors - content quality and amount, on-page seo, anchor text ratios and so on.

Still, not a bad idea and it’ll be good to see the outcome.

Why did you stop updating your first journey?

 

[darulez]

no need to test.
as in 3-6 months they will start to rot.

 

[LiquidLeads]

Intresting like the first part,

Im in

 

[life2ifeless]

How would you know which of the services is effective and which isn’t?

Do you have a control website to cross compare?

@khalid87,

great thread khalid87. Yes it is a pain to go through multiple posts/pages in a thread to read a genuine review by an honest buyer.

meanwhile even I am interested in knowing how do you track the results for each of these services? will you be implementing each separate separately one at a time?

Thank You.

 

[mindmaster]

If this thread gets exposure, some of the people offering the services will be tempted to overdeliver or treat your orders with more attention.
Hope they will refrain.

Anyway, it is always nice to see reviews for bhw services.
And as @davids355 said, how are you going to track progress for each service?

 

[nata0292]

this gonna be insteresting

 

[KHer0]

As long as you bought them with your current username, you will get their best links cuz they know about this thread.

So, whatever the results, everyone should know this the highest quality the seller can provide and he probably wont get the same results

 

[KingMasterEg]

Y u didnt bought one domain and focus keyword for every service to track them fairly and build Pbn .. u paid good amount and domain with hosting and some content not big deal..it should be good experiment ..

Following ..

Agreed, there are on-page factors which is why each page has a reasonable amount of quality content and such to make it as fair as possible.

Why did you stop updating your first journey?

I sold one of the websites, the other was in the first journey and didn't take off at all hence we're back for part 2!

no need to test.
as in 3-6 months they will start to rot.

I'd disagree, from my first journey one site has retained the keyword rankings.

How would you know which of the services is effective and which isn’t?

Do you have a control website to cross compare?

I'll mostly be comparing the rankings versus competition on sub pages where I've only bought a single service.

The experiment is flawed in the sense I've bought multiple packages at once but it could go to prove the effectiveness of spending a lot at once over various services. What does $1,000 get you?

@khalid87,

As above, "The experiment is flawed in the sense I've bought multiple packages at once but it could go to prove the effectiveness of spending a lot at once over various services. What does $1,000 get you?"

If this thread gets exposure, some of the people offering the services will be tempted to overdeliver or treat your orders with more attention.

In the first journey it didn't make any difference because I was actually refunded by one seller where as the other delivered ranking changes.

As long as you bought them with your current username, you will get their best links cuz they know about this thread.

As above, "it didn't make any difference because I was actually refunded by one seller where as the other delivered ranking changes."
