Came back to update my original 'good' review, which admittedly I should have waited longer to leave (I made one sooner than usual because of a promise for a bonus backlinks package, which I never received btw)
Aside from that, originally I had stated that the content would only require some editing. Nope. After running a Copyscape test, I found that a ton of this content was plagiarized and spun. When I went to change it I found that more than half of the articles (I had the package with 20) were of such poor quality that I couldn't even decipher the meaning to fix the wording. I had to rewrite the articles on a topic I know nothing about which is obviously time-consuming, and not what was advertised in the slightest.
Furthermore, I checked the search intent in the SERPs for the keywords they had picked out, and the articles they had written for each will never rank for them regardless of how many backlinks I throw at them. So all in all, I spent 100 dollars for a set of mediocre keywords, an almost decent site design, and 20 terrible articles scraped and poorly spun, and the site wasn't approved by adsense.. which was the ONLY reason I spent the extra money for the 'special' package.
To quote the seller:
" Now day google requesting more than 20 articles and old traffic to approve google adsense. Due that we have released new special package here,
Special package comes with 20 Articles + SEO package"
If you're going to use Adsense requirements as a selling point for your higher level of service, it should be ready to be approved by adsense without me having to replace all of the content myself. So, I'm cutting my losses and abandoning the project all together. I was naive to think I would be receiving a good service consisting of 20 articles for $100. Nevertheless, it was false advertising which led me there and I would like to advise others to take the seller's promises with a grain of salt.
2/10. You get 2 points for good keyword research I guess.
