My review:
Ok, I have to say that I'm probably a bit pickier than most when it comes to what domains I'll target, so I didn't take the first few keywords that were suggested. I'm sure they were perfectly good and I actually looked at some of the competition, all of them were indeed very low competition. (some were even 5-8k+ exacts with CPCs up to $6)
I decided to use one that is in the general medical field with 2400 exact local searches and $1.24 CPC. I also liked this keyword combo because when I checked spyfu, there seemed to consistently be pretty amount of advertisers targeting that phrase.
After about 48 hours after I registered the domain SYKing has me check it for the theme and graphics layout. Overall I liked it but asked for a minor change to the background image which he changed promptly. They even included a favicon - a nice touch. The next day I noticed that the site was indexed and actually ranked #33 for the keyword on a page that was literally just the domain with a 'check post' article. (Tells how low that competition is, right?) SYKing then installed the adsense code and as of this morning was completed except for the backlinks.
I have to really praise SYKing for his customer service. Although I didn't try to be difficult with my keyword selection, I'm pretty sure I was pickier than most. He understood and fed me other choices.
I rate everything the following:
Keyword selection: 10/10
- All the keywords were good and low competition, I just don't like to use certain types of keywords.
Graphics: 10/10
- This is especially true since most don't offer anything more than a theme that may or may not be somewhat in the genre. This was obviously custom graphics.
Article Quality 9.5/10:
- Ok, if I'm going to be 100% honest here (and if I'm giving a review, I should be), there are a few words here and there don't completely read as a native American - but I would say that they are very good for someone that isn't native. I honestly don't know where SYKing is from, but based on the time he's online, I'm pretty sure he's not 'on this side of the pond'. I'm still not sure if I'm going to edit the pages or not - bit if I do, it will be for what I call 'happy/glad' changes (minor phrase changes, like changing happy to glad) or adding a word or two here and there.
Oh... ALL 3 pages pass Copyscape of course.
Communications: 10/10
- Without a doubt, very responsive and great to work with!
*Edit* - forgot SEO
SEO: 10/10
- checked with Easy WP SEO. Keyword density of just over 2%, where I like to be and bolded / H1 keywords too.
Backlink quality:
- this will have to wait for a couple of weeks before I give a report on this. I'm going to hold off on adding more links just to see where this shakes out on what was already provided. I'm just going to add a couple more articles and report back in 2 weeks.
Overall grade: 10.5/10!
- if you're thinking of buying a Micro Niche Site, I would start here. You just get so much more from this service. You can feel safer with this MNS because it is clearly custom designed and if Google looks at it, they will see that. Of course, over time you should more related content - at least that's what I'll be doing.
Thanks SYKing!
