Keyword - 2/5
I received a keyword related to the travel niche which was happy about at the time due the high CPC of $3.69. After looking at the first page competition, it seemed a little difficult to rank. That this was my first MNS site, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and go with it.
The first two pages of Google results look incredibly hard to break onto, that there isn't a page with less than PR3 until the third page of search results. Most sites that fill page one are huge booking sites such as Expedia along with large companies. The keyword also brings up about 3-4 Google Places, pushing the results even farther down.
Articles - 4/5
The keyword seemed difficult to write articles around, but I'm pretty happy with how they came out. I think there was a grammatical error once or twice through the three. I would have given the articles a perfect score, but little bit picky about one of them that I'll probably be rewriting some of it.
Design/SEO - 4/5
I really like the theme and ad placements that were set up. The articles also had relevant pictures which makes the site look better than just all text. On-site SEO looks to be done properly, if anything it might look a bit over optimized for the keyword. Still waiting for the Off-Site SEO to be completed.
Support/Turnaround - 4/5
Haven't had too many questions that I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to Adsense/MNS sites, so figured would let the team do their own thing really. All emails I did send were responded to within 24 hours or less. The site took a day or two longer than the stated turnaround time, but I don't see this as a huge deal that I'm sure they were just busy with orders.
Overall - 3/5
I'm rather satisfied with how the site looks and the service of the support team, unfortunately my biggest issue is with what I believe the most important part of a MNS, the keyword. Although it has a great CPC, I don't see that being useful when the site receives no traffic from Google.
The site has been indexed for about two weeks now, and I have gone through Google results. No where to be found in the top 300 results. Unfortunately, I will most likely not be ordering any other sites from Profit Magnet.
