My 4 Month Honest Review
My website is 3 years old (Tomorrow - 8th January 2020).
I ordered this service at the beginning of September 2019.
5 Homepage Sticky Links (6 Months Homepage Subscription) in the Games niche.
My Previous Ranks Were 8th USA & 4th UK for my 1 Target Keyword. The Links were created with Brand / URL anchors only (No over optimisation & clean).
This Is a 4 Month Ranking Graph (Plenty of Time Given Before Posting This Review)
Google UK
Google USA
Additional Information:
1. I found 3 out of 5 links in my Google Search Console. In my own personal opinion one of the articles was poorly written. The article discusses a niche not related to my niche.
2. The seller informed me (Via DM Post Review) that his service hides the actual links from anyone reading the articles other than White-listed Search Engines (Upon researching this I found this is a Blackhat Tactic Called Cloaking). Screenshot:

3. The seller also claims (Via DM Post Review) that the November Core Algo Update is the reason why my website tanked which of course is his own personal opinion and not fact, I personally do not believe the Google Update affected my website but rather the results of using his service. Regarding the Thin Content claim, he also said it was the "November update from Google" however the ranking drop started end of September as clearly shown via my Ranking Graphs above. He also claimed in an earlier DM that it was the "September Google Update". Either-way I do feel this is highly convenient for him to simply blame it on Google Updates which I can tell you did not have any affect on my website or my competitors websites.
4. The seller also (Via DM Post Review) claims that my website has "Thin Content" but I quickly refuted this with facts by showing similar websites to my own 1 with exact same keyword as myself and 1 with a similar keyword, both websites ranking much higher than mine (#1 and #2) both with less than 300 words on-page. I have much more than this and well optimised.
5. In the DM's (Post Review) the seller claims my review is not factual, so here are facts as I see them:
1. I had a website ranking for a keyword 8th on google.com and 4th on google UK.
2. I purchased your service.
3. I waited 4 months.
4. I checked my results and my ranks have gone from 8th to 16th on Google.com and 4th to 6th on Google.co.uk.
Disclaimer:
This review is comprised of my own personal experience with the seller, Pre and Post purchase. They are my own thoughts and beliefs and regardless of the reply that the BST Op makes following this review to refute everything I have said I will simply say that results are results and facts are facts.
Your experience maybe much better than my own so please do not let my review sway you from purchasing from HetNeo. Maybe you will have better results.
I will say that due to the way the BST Op acted during my post review I will never use any of his services again and if asked by others for recommendations I will not include him in my list of recommended sellers as I found him to be rude & unprofessional.
Thank you for reading my review.
P.S The Seller Reported My Review & Attempted To Have It Removed. A Moderator reviewed my post and other than replying twice to a BST thread found I broke no rules. Moderator in question kindly offered to allow me to edit my review in order to rectify some factual points which I initially stated which were incorrect (Regarding links not showing up on GSC, when 3 out of 5 were showing but needed to delve deeper to find them). I also included some Post Review DM information which I thought would be helpful to other prospective buyers should they be considering using this service (Cloaking of Links - Blackhat Tactic).
PPS I apologise for any spelling or poor grammar I suffer with Dyslexia.
Admin Edit: Posts merged.
Given that we are not presented with the URL were the links are published so we can verify quality we have to wait for Google Search Console to index the links, Basically if the links were any good (Authority) they will show up here, but after 4 months not a single one has shown up.
Just a quick change, after delving deeper into the Search Console area (which I must admit I am not used to using, as I prefer Ahref) I did find 3 of the links (I think I purchased 5 links), so some links are reported in Search Console but not all.
I also found other issues with the service, but the Seller is now attempting to report my review (misleading content.) so for now I will wait for moderators to come and take action if needed) and if moderators feel I have done nothing wrong which I don't believe I have then I will post the other inconsistency I found with the service.
Moderators - If you feel I have done wrong, I am more than happy to abide by any decision you make, I have already offered the seller to change my review to a more "facts" based review as he requested via PM. I don't see why BST owners can cover up by reporting negative comments about the service in an attempt to have them removed. Results speak for themselves. Anyway I am available to chat if you would like to reach out to me.
