Review Copy was received in exchange for this review. Sorry I am late, I got pretty backed up with work.
First thing is, the metrics of the domains match up.
I can't speak on ranking increases as it is only two links. I had OP target some big KWs (Think X,XXX,XXX searches a month). Is this the term I am targeting? No. But I am targeting a long tail and I wanted some diversity in my anchor text portfolio.
I mention this because most sellers would make a generic article about the big term and call it a day. Asap's article went above what I expected. My anchor text was exactly what I asked for, but the article also mentioned my real KW, the images were relevant to what I wanted to rank my money site for, etc. I never told Asap about what terms I was targeting, so either he checked out the website and did his homework or made a really lucky guess. I am willing to bet he did his homework.
That does not matter to everyone, but it is just a glimpse onto the attention to detail.
Both domains had logos, no defaults, and I did not recognize one of the themes. I know it is not a free theme, but it not a premium theme I normally use or see. That is a nice touch I like to see as well. The two sites I reviewed were wordpress sites, but I had to check that as I was not sure.
That is a good thing.
Last notes were the sites had fake ads, google map, working contact forms, etc. They look like real sites. Better than my own PBNs do.
I would recommend and would also like any active coupon codes. This is a solid network.
