Review
I try to always leave a review so others can see what they can expect from the service,
as a normal buyer, not a moderator. I hope this helps some of you make your mind up.
Summary
This has
NOT been a good experience for me and although there are a couple of positives (see detail below), there are a LOT of negatives (see detail below), so I would not recommend this service to others.
Delivery / TaT
- Late - I had to chase for delivery.
Communication
- Point of Purchase - fast, helpful.
- After - no communication about delivery, or that it was going to be late.
- Questions - delay of days in responding to PM's and posts on BST.
- After Raising Issues in Public - good.
Service
Now for the actual service. I sent the below PM highlighting issues and comments on the service provided. Given that delivery was already late and I had to hassle to get it delivered, I was not impressed at all. Each of the below headings are sections from the report, 5 areas of delivery.
--------------------------
Couple of issues that need fixing.
Web 2 property issues
- All of the web 2 properties are missing about us pages.
- The last 2 web properties are not 1500 words
- Some of the web 2 properties have no images or videos
Bookmark issue
- You have used a previous web 2 property as one of the 10 bookmarks. I am short 1.
- Some are nofollow
Web profile issues
- Some are nofollow
- Twitter is temp restricted
- Seriously you are including this in the BIO? - who enjoys spreading fake news on Facebook
PDF sharing issues
Video sharing issues
- Both nofollow
- Both are links from previous properties already used in this service!
- I am short 2
--------------------------
Response from seller
The seller was quick to respond to let me know he would review the issues and fix. I then received a new report with the below explanation.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not all Contextual properties have option to add About Us page, I have added about us page to all other web 2.0 where it was not added.
Regarding word count I have added more content and property.
I have also added another bookmark.
Twitter profile link is working now.
I have fixed the profile description also please check.
Video sharing I have added different links not used before in any other property.
Some websites are used in multiple link types, sorry that is not mentioned in BST I will update soon.
Not all links are from unique domains some platforms are used to create links of multiple types:
Like booklikes is used for contextual, bookmarks, video also.
Similar is the case with KO-Fi it is also used for contextual, bookmarks, video.
Regarding nofollow issue not all links are DF links but a major portion of them are DF.
Hope I have covered everything you mentioned.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Final Quality Check
I checked the new pages/links etc, my findings are below
Web 2's
- 5 x web 2.0 properties now have contact and about pages
- 5 x web 2.0 properties do not
- 2 x additional articles have been added where content was thin
Bookmarks
- Added missing bookmark as 1 short
Web Profiles/Bios
- Removed stupid comment
- 1 now has no bio at all.
Conclusion
- Negatives = see above
- Positives = article content was actually VERY good, decent paragraphs, use of headings, nice images (when used). Very readable and fluent. Impressed with this part.
I imagine it has taken me far longer to deal with what I thought was a VERY SIMPLE service, then it took the seller to actually deliver it. I am left frustrated and wondering
what the hell I paid for!!
Personally, I have not received what was clearly advertised in the BST, I have asked for that to be fixed (which it has not) and
I would like a refund.
Man, this has been hard work!
