My review of the service is as follows -
What was offered to me for the review
at least 3x unique and powerful HARO links (DR40+ / do-follow). Value of this package - $875.
How the order process worked
First of all the seller took some information from me about the company (A client of mine in this case). The information included the niche in which we operate, an elected person within the company (I assumed this person would be the face of the outreach campaign) along with some details about them including short bio and social media links. In addition, the seller required access to a company email account for the elected person. In my case, I created a "dummy" account with a permutation of the persons name, so that we could use a legitimate account without actually infringing on the persons real email account. Once I had provided this information, the seller got to work.
Timescale
The advertised timescale was 6-12 weeks but in reality the timescale turned out to be a little longer - roughly 4 months from start to finish. However, it was clear the process was manual and results can't be guranteed in a specific timescale so I did not mind waiting longer for the work to be completed. Although there was a period at the beginning where the seller did not provide many updates, after being prompted on this, they began providing regular updates and as links were aquired, details of these links were sent over to me which gave me comfort that the process was working.
The delliverables
Overall, I actually had 9 links delivered by the end of this work - as the seller had to keep aquiring links until we had 3 x do-follow links, there were several no-follow links that were aquired along the way and additionally there were a couple of canonical links that also came into existence naturally.
The details of the links aquired were as follows -
| Date Aquired | Domain rating (Ahrefs) | Organic Traffic (Root domain, Ahrefs) | NF/DF | Notes |
| 4/4/23 | 73 | 747k | DF | This article is already ranking in the top 100 for 24 keywords (US, Ahrefs) |
| 18/4/23 | 57 | 71k | DF | [1] An extremely niche relavant domain |
| 24/4/23 | 62 | 37k | NF | [2] This article is already ranking in the top 100 for 9 keywords (US, Ahrefs) |
| 5/5/23 | 81 | 3.1m | NF | [3] This article is already ranking in the top 100 for 32 keywords (US, Ahrefs) |
| 10/5/23 | 57 | 71k | DF | duplicate domain (by coincidence) [1] This article is already ranking in the top 100 for 3 keywords (US, Ahrefs) |
| 19/6/23 | 82 | 2.9m | DF | This article is already ranking in the top 100 for 109 keywords (US, Ahrefs) |
| 19/6/23 | 93 | 3m | NF | canonical link aquired naturally as a result of above aquired link [3] |
| 19/6/23 | 72 | 755k | DF | canonical link aquired naturally as a result of above aquired link [2]. Note this one has since been removed. |
I have indicated above that one domain inparticular was extremely niche relavant, however in reality all of these domains were very relevant - all of them being niche specific sites rather than general blogs and all of those niches were at least paralel to the niche of my site - for example if my niche was cars, then one of the sites might have been about navigation.
As an afterthought, I also checked each URL to see if it was ranking for any keywords (Another sign that a) the content quality is good and b) the people writing the content actually care about the topic and have researched it to ensure its one that is focused on topics that people are searching for) and as you can see from the notes column above, many of these articles are now ranking in Google - which further suggests to me these links are extremely valuable.
Content quality and anchor text insertion
I have read through one of the articles at random and in detail and the quality of the content is exceptional. Given the nature of this service I am assuming that the content is written externally by the site owners and out of the sellers control. However, again given the nature of the service I would also assume the content would be high quality based on the fact that these writers are seeking HARO quotes and this fact stands out clearly in the content.
The article that I read is very interesting, it is easy and enjoyable to read and it associates key facts with quotes from various people, including my client of course. The links are therefor inserted naturally and whilst the anchor text is typically brand-focused, it makes the link look completely natural and valuable - so much so that I am sure these links will actually get clicked by the readers.
In addition to these links, the articles also have internal links pointing to relevant articles within the sites themselves - another key point that stands to the content and the sites being of a superior quality.
Overall positive points
- The process of having this work carried out was relatively easy from my point of view - after giving the details requested I just let the seller do all of the work.
- The results are very impressive and it is clear the links are very valuable in every sense of the work from metrics to niche relavance and being relatively "hard to obtain" links.
- The seller over-delivered.
Overall negative points
- Sensitive information is required to deliver this service (ie the login credentials for a company email account). This isn't a major negative, but its just a point to consider.
- The service takes quite some time to deliver.
- The communication to begin with was a little lax. Again this is a minor point but I would say to the seller as its a long delivery timescale its good to keep checking in with the client to update them on the progress.
Summary
I have included some "negative points" just in the interests of transparency. However, I would say this is a very well thought out service, it is well worth the money and worth the TAT even if it does extend past what is advertised. You can see for yourself the value of these links but I would go one step further and argue
these links are priceless - even though my link building efforts are quite strict and I only tend to build guest post style links on sites that have good metrics, are real sites and have lots of traffic, the links built in this service are even far superior to that - because it is clear they are on real sites, the metrics are great
but most importantly the people writing this content have really put effort into the content to make it likely to rank on Google and to generate traffic - this means that my backlinks within those articles are going to become more and more valuable as time goes on, not only filtering "link juice" through to my website but more than likely traffic as well.
