I've recently had a healthy tax rebate, so decided to test out some websites created through the marketplace here on BHW! There's a range of sellers offering complete packages for websites, so I want to see how well these will rank, and report back to you on the progress.

I'm in it for the long hall for this and intend to purchase regular articles and add to these sites. They've all been ordered and the sellers are working on the keywords, here's what I've bought:

Amazon Affiliate Sites - Jackteam
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/c...ent-i-paid-themes-plugins-i-starts-18.966084/

3 x Pack 7, Amazon Authority Niche Sites (Check out their website for all packs).
Cost: $300

Authority Adsense Sites - Vaspar
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/easy-earning-with-micro-niche-sites-only-30.625663/

2 x Authority Sites (25 Articles per Sites)
Cost: $90 + Hosting

Micro Niche Sites - Thenonparell
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/m...es-authority-sites-bonus-seo-package.1061413/

5 x Micro Niche Sites
Cost: $175 + Hosting

Micro Niche Sites - Sitebolt
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/s...e-adsense-amazon-sites-full-seo-guide.747917/

3 x Micro Niche Sites
Cost: $140 + Hosting

Total Spent: $705

The general turnaround for the sites is around 10-14 days. I'll then provide feedback on how each is provided, and can start looking at the quality.

Several of these threads are a few years old, so I'm hopeful to get some results!

I am going to follow because I too purchased a site here for a good sum

Don't worry you will do well :)
 
Are you hosting these all on the same hosting?
This will give an indication of the site loading times etc if you are.

The first one provide hosting - however for the other 3 I was looking to use Namecheap, so should be able to for them!
 
Following! I thought of buying sites from here many times, but some threads looked pretty old and some didn't really have recent reviews. This thread should help me decide if I want to test or not. Thanks for the initiative!
 
Good luck with the journey, will be following along. I use site ground for my 2 sites. Performance is decent.
 
Crikey, good luck!!

It would drive me bonkers dealing with all these sites at once. I hope these BHW vendors do a good job for you!

Yep I may have got a little carried away. I'm hoping they're ready to go and I can get away with adding 1-2 articles a month (Which I'll outsource). A couple of them state native English writers, so hopefully I won't need to do to much.

I'm not going to focus on off page SEO for a while, and just concentrate on cleaning up any content and getting things ready.
 
Eagerly looking forward when you buy PBN and its results for your store.
 
Good luck! And please keep us updated. Quick question for your domains are all them brand new or expired?
 
I too purchased from @Vaspar 2 micro niche sites..expecting them done in the next few days...following!

The first package will be selecting the domain, so no choice on that one. For the others I will likely use new domains, I'm not super-keen on buying old domains as worry they can have some past baggage.

It's worth adding all of these packages include keyword research - therefore I won't be choosing the niches. It's both a test of their keyword selection and website building/content.

I'm not going to add a lot of links to start (Maybe a couple) and will aim to publish 1-2 articles to all the websites each month. I'm hoping the "Content is King" approach will get things indexed. In theory they should all be low comp, so an aggressive SEO strategy shouldn't be required. There's 13 sites here so 20 or so articles a month - ping me if you have any recommended sellers for good quality articles.
 
I was thinking about creating simiilar journey, for about 1 month from now i will have some $$$ for investing so i will be doing the same.

Following, good luck mate!
 
I made the same mistake a few months ago of ordering several sites from different 5 sellers and it was really stressful because I didn't know the sellers here need to be pushed around. I needed to be constantly reminding them to deliver the sites and they had many excuses, like accidents, family problems, one of them even said my email landed on spam and he doesn't check his spam folder, same thing when I ordered articles.

If I were to start over I would deal with one seller at a time and even that would be terribly stressful.

Another thing I would do differently if I were to start over is choosing a good host from the start. You mentioned you chose namecheap, and you also mentioned you were in this for the long haul. Well sooner or later you will need to migrate because name cheap has very low speed which will affect your rankings and they will not be able to handle large amount of traffic when your site grows, so it's better to migrate now that you just started, and not later when you will have many images, articles, customizations, etc.

And maybe the biggest mistake I made was starting websites for products instead of niches or hobbies.

Thanks for this. Hoping I won't have to chase too much! I'm all for putting work in, but that would be painful.

Appreciate the input around hosting and niche.
 
Great Journey !
I hope you deliver valuable info about the products you bought so buyers can better choose from marketplace !! ;)
I wish you all the best and GL !

I’ve never trusted the sellers here that do the pre-made sites so I’m interested to see how you go. Keep us updated!
 
Quick update on progress. Nothing has happened with 3 of the orders, however "Sitebolt" has been progressing nicely:

-Provided 4 keywords (I had to pick 3). All good CPC and decent search numbers, medium competition.

- Provided domains (Which I've registered and added Wordpress to) and then given them access to start building the sites.

- they asked me to pick 15 Amazon products for each site, which ive just completed.

It's worth adding that this seller let's you pick Amazon or Adsense, I've gone with Amazon for these 3 websites.
 
An important thread, please update it frequently,
it is important for the potential buyer to have a real evaluation.
most of the sellers' threads are bombarded by old photos and some evaluations of the gents who have received gifts (they will not insult the one who gives them a free gift).
this type of thread is the best way to evaluate the service (a sincere evaluation).
good luck ...
