My Review

Ordered the $10 package.
The good:
Set and forget SEO for only $5-$10. Set up my campaign in less than 5 minutes.
"Unlimited" keywords with up to 3 URLs.
Fast turn around. Mine was completed in less than 2 days.
The .edu links I had came from a few US universities and the rest from edu.xx
Opportunities to improve:
This was my first time ordering something like this and I learned a lot about how their system works as well as how I need to use it if I place another order.
Each article has 3 links regardless of whether you only choose to use one URL or the max of 3. Knowing that ahead of time, I now would make sure to utilize all 3 URL spots.
Quite a few of the posts/links came from the same domain and were posted within minutes of each other. This was done along with posts from several other unrelated keywords/niches using the same username/profile. Of the 35 web 2.0s the average posts per domain was just below 4. And of the 20 .edu's the average was just over 3. So in reality I got a total net of posts/links from about 9 different web 2.0 domains and 6 different edu domains.
All other links like social network links were more diversified though there was still some duplicate domains.
All in all, based on the report I received, I would probably order again but only go for the $5 package. I feel I don't need or necessarily desire 130 tier 1 links if over 1/2 of them are coming from the same domains. I will most likely order the $5 package later this week to compare the 2 and will hope for more domain diversity.
I think this would be great to strengthen tier 1 links but the jury is still out for me on whether this could work for a money site. Maybe it can work for a micro-niche site.
Overall, these things are probably small, especially when I consider that it is only $5-$10. I'm going to place multiple $5 orders over the next few weeks based on my experience to see if the domains come out different each time. I'd like to use this to build links to some internal pages for the low. I will report back with any results.
