I was not on BHW at first but a high ranking member of this forum was a client, unknowingly and invited me over.
First off, learn about the difference of Generation 1 vs Generation 2 sites on this post I created:

Do you have samples from this vendor? If not, here's the 'warning' I would give:
Google News sites are not powerful if they are trash sites , today. Especially not those new Google News sites that were not part of the grandfathered network of sites, that come from the era when Google was manually approving who could join.
Currently, any site can join Google News and say "i'm on Gogole News" , and with ease and many of the 'spam farms' have created sites to place on the network. However, Google is aware and devalues these site and will also penalize pages they link to. Their posts will not even get you seen in Google News.
The best way you can utilize such sites is maybe Tier 2 or Tier 3. And if the sites are horribly spammed out, I'd probably steer clear of linking it to any site of value. Maybe to social media profiles.
If you want quality, you will have to pay for it.
Though I do feel like this post was done to 'name drop' a particular provider aka 'Schilling/spamming' the forum........
i'll still respond with legitimate information to help, in case you are serious.
And DA/PA means nothing if the provider is not being an honest businessman/woman. Tons of people on this forum sell whatever they can, but you will never see one of the "top businessmen" of this forum mention them. Im talking "exectuive" level BHW members or BassTracker, etc.
