REVIEW
My one month just ended today so I canceled my subscription as I just didn't get any results for what I considered easy competition. It was a bit of a mess from the start. He was trying to add dropbox to give me the files and kept messing that up, several folders of which none were the correct one. He gets started and after a couple days I look at the reports and see the articles are not niche related, now the keyword still looks ok the way it is written I guess but I didn't want them going to that particular site, I asked him to change it he said yes so I did. A week or more later he sends me a message and says I don't see why there isn't any change so after talking for a few I realize he is still working on my old site building links that I absolutely didn't want pointing to it so we try again and he gets the conversion right this time. In the beginning you get 17 links a day 5 days a week of which some are on the same domains, after a few days these dwindle down a bit to 13 or 14, think I saw some of 12. At a glance approx 25% of mine are deleted or using the wrong anchor and he does social bookmarks daily but not even 1 per site. When we started this my site was #7 for a low competition keyword, all I had done was 2 link pushes. I dropped down to 9 the day before he was going to start and stayed there most of the time. Part way through I become frustrated with the lack of results and started building a few links myself and jumped up to position #5 where I remained for the rest of the time. Today he sent me a PM and asked if I would like to continue, I declined as I saw no results and he screwed up too many times. I would not use any of his services ever again after my experience here.

Hey phluid
Thanks for the honest review.
It is my first service and things was a little bumpy at first.
You get happy and unhappy clients and I am sorry you were one of the unhappy ones. I learned a lot through your experience for the future.
Remember that most of the power comes from paid directories that do not disclose URLs for quality reasons so there is more to what meets the eye.
Thank you for the business, and good luck with the site.

What power? I do not believe there were other links being built. I didn't see SERP improvements and for more than 1/3 of my service time you built links to the wrong site.
Like I said phluid, thanks for your review.
Firt of all, you made your point, you were unhappy.We get it.
Now...
Do not make me out to be a liar.
1. You say I built links to the wrong site for a while, and it was because of a misunderstanding about Dropbox.
I do agree that this was my mistake because I gave you the wrong file to edit . I take full blame for that. My Mistake. I did also say I was still getting to know dropbox and hadn't figured it out then yet.My apologies.
2. You say you saw no SERP gain? (waiting for you to say you did your own linking too or something to justify the serp gain and that it was not because of the service)
Keep in mind, this was your results after (LIKE YOU STATED) the service only ran for 2/3 of the month...
PLEASE TELL ME THESE STATS ARE WRONG
PRETTY GOOD RESULTS FOR 2/3 OF A MONTH DONT YOU THINK?
Thanks for bumping the thread, this turned out to be a better review that I thought,so thank you.
Everyone else... I apologize for the drama, lets get back to work.
And please remember:
This service might be better than most seo services, but it is still a SERVICE, not a magic pill...and it will work, just like it did for phluid, just be patient, we are dealing with google here...

Review: I think the OP is doing his best to get his feet into being an SEO provider, contact has been nice and communication is also good (if you want it). The positive thing here is that you get continues backlinks which is definitely a good thing since Google (from my experience) loves a continues flow of fresh links coming in.
However, since the articles created were totally unrelated to my website (more or less articles on subject x with an unrelated anchor text link pointing to your website) and there are several services on BHW that offer ten times the amount of the same kind of links for a comparable price, I unsubscribed from this service.
Good luck with your thread anyway OP

Moved down 5 positions and then moved back to my regular spot again. No changes after all.
Good to hear you are happy ALMAN
Thanks for being a hands off client and letting me do my thing, much appreciated and good working with you.

Ok, now I am going to call you a liar. Where is the screen shot at #7? #9 was a dance down, as stated above it moved to #5 AFTER I did other work on it because I had no results and I was tired of waiting on you when you couldn't even build links to the correct site. So what you are saying is that for full price we get 2/3 of a month work? I get ripped off because you don't know what you are doing? Sounds like bull shit to me.
Looks like there are 2 reviews right by mine as well that show this to be a poor service. Which shows I am not the only one with lousy results results. Point is your service is way overpriced. Given the chance again I wouldn't even consider it at $100.00. Why don't you just start giving ppl their moneys worth and there will be no problem.

This is an honest review of my experience.
Everything went through fine, I had no problem with the order being set up and no problem with links being built to the wrong website as mentioned above. The main problem arose after the 2nd week when I decided to check a few of the articles posted through copyscape, just to make sure they were unique as stated. It turned out that out of all of them I checked (granted it was only about 10-15 over the first 2 weeks) a large percentage of them came up with duplicate articles in copyscape. Some of these articles were being used for about 10 different other URLs that were part of this service and some even had up to 45% likeness! I spoke to Reinie about this and although not being very apologetic, accepted it was a problem and said he'd fix it. I believe he did, although the reports for my second two weeks were removed from my dropbox account before i could check, so i am not certain. Link count averaged out at 77 links towards my money site being created a week for the first two weeks. Not a lot of links (working out a about $0.75-$1 a link), mainly because no links are created at weekends, but not a bad amount considering it would have cost myself more do this using unique articles. On a side note, the links were actually related to my niche but by the sounds of things this may have been more luck that my website happened to fit the articles written than the articles being written for my site. Strangely, very few of the sites had been indexed or showed up as backlinks, possibly to do with the content that was posted on them.
Rankings wise i did see improvements. I did purchase another quite expensive service at the same time so the total rankings cannot be attributed to just Reinie's service though. I started at about #38 and ended up at #29, peaking at #15 half way through but then slowly falling down. I cancelled after the first month because i was disappointed with how the non unique article situation was dealt with and that the service did not provide the results i expected. Maybe my expectations were to high, I was not expecting to be number 1 but at least on the 2nd page. This service in principle seemed very good but in reality it failed to perform in my opinion.

Your feedback is making me rethink, thanks.
getting 3 bad reviews is not good so some change should obviously be made.
Perhaps I will put a hold on new orders and find better content, and add some more power to the service in general.
