Hi, I just sent you further details via email. Please check
Check PM
I had ordered 4 posts off Khurram on different sites.
Here is my brief review:
Order process - very smooth. I was sent the inventory via email. I placed an order of 5 immediately as most of the sites on the list have huge authority.
Communication: I received an email update about each site on almost a daily basis. This is a very good feature of any service. He also gave me an idea of the type of content that will be generated for each post. Nice touch.
TAT - around 9 days, which is very good for such posts. Infact, couple posts were live within 4-5 days of placing order. Thats quick!
Content quality - TOP NOTCH!
Will I use the service again ? HELL YEAH!!

Very unprofessional seller and poor quality service - STAY AWAY!
Problems with the seller:
- Articles were in different niche
- Approx 500 word article had 15 other links
- Ordered 13 links, couple were broken, some links had typos, some I didn't get
- Got links from sub domains, not from actual domains with high Trust metrics
- Unprofessional and plain rude communications (calling me 'fucking idiot' for example)
Just don't buy anything from this guy - there's other similar services in BHW.

I'm sorry for your experience. I believe "fucking idiot" was directed at your incapacity to act rationally and raise a paypal dispute meaning that there is now no way you can get a refund until the matter is resolved.
- Artciles are all to your instruction. In most cases, you only gave details of urls/anchor and nothing about topics. The order was filled on that bases
- The articles, including some that ranged up to 800 words, did not have "15" other links. However, there wll always be a handful of links in all the articles as this is MANDATED by the authority sites they are posted on
- As with any order of 5 articles or more, especially those requiring multiple authors on multiple websites, errors do occur. In the couple of ocassions that this happened, the errors were fixed within 24 hours. The missing link that happened on one of the sites was due to an internal server error, and was fixed after some code readjustment. Regarding the misspelling of your anchor that happned on 3 occassions - your anchor was a very unusually spelt foreign language word placed in English articles written by English writers. I'm sorry for the incovenience this caused but these have either ALL been fixed or in the process of being fixed (just one left).
- You did not get ANY link from a sub-domain. There were TWO articles that were on a different domain to the root information I sent you,. A sub domain is in the format: abc.com/xyz. Those two sites post articles on the xyz.abc.com domain. This has the same Domain Authortiy as the root advertised and has never been an issue for any of our customers otherwise it would be pointed out to you.
- Well it's pretty fucking idiotic to raise a PayPal dispute without me in having a chance to sort this out. I am willing to refund the two articles that you feel aren't on the root as advertised. However I gave you a 15% discount on your order and then gave you ANOTHER discount ontop of that as a gesture of honesty. Figure out a refund for those pieces isn't a simple case of checking the inventory price. But now you raised a paypal dispute so you can just sit tight...
*sigh*

I opened dispute since your email that stated: "You will not be refundeed "half" the amount.". I don't really care about those few hundred bucks, I've just dealt with guys like you before and had enough of all this unprofessional BS.
About article topics - I gave you niche of my site and all the links were for same site, so have no idea what you mean with 'In most cases'. Articles were totally non related and links were just there quite unnaturally.
About article length/OBL - Just checked and for example Digitaljournal you provided had 330 words and 9 outgoing links inside the article. Bleacherreport had 850 words and 27 outgoing links inside the article. That's unacceptable for these prices.
About errors - So you saying that if you order more than 5 posts, you will make errors? Nice service you got here - forgot to tell in your sales copy about these errors if you order more than 5. Also, those errors were not fixed in 24 hours - actually there's still typos in my anchors.
About subdomains - Hubpages and Newsvine you provided are SUBDOMAINs (yourname.hubpages.com and randomauthor-1.newsvine.com), without any PR or Trust metrics. Authoritysite.com/author/post is not same as author.authoritysite.com/post - subdomains are treated differently than posts in actual domain. You should mention that on your sales copy - like you mention ireport.cnn.com.
About paypal dispute - I gave you chance to refund, you told me I'm not getting refund. You told me you can refund 2 articles where 2 articles were total crap and 5 articles still missing from the total 13 I ordered.
Just normal nonsense from the seller who is just trying to take advantage of the buyers, not actually trying to create beneficial business relationship.

Hi again,
I'm sorry it has come to this and you've painted yourself into a corner:
- As mentioned, you were given a 15% discount and then a FURTHER discount on top of that. Out of ALL your articles, there were two that may hnot have been as described (my CHEAPEST properties by the way) and I was willing to calculate you a refund on that. Which is why it wasn't a simple way of giving you "half" your money back. I'm sorry you had bad experiences with vendors like that and overreacted. But now you shot urself in the fott as I was going to calculate you a refund this morning but now I can't with the dispute ongoing.
- Hi - please could you forwrad the email to me where you discussed the niche? I'm checking now but all I got from you was a list of foreign keywords and a foreign url and indication on what site you wanted this posted on. I fowrarded this to my writers. You gave NO other instruction as to what niche you want the article written about or any further instructions, which I explicitly ask. However, if there is a SINGLE article you don't like, let me know and I will re-write it for you.
- First of all, kindly don't discuss my inventory, as you will be jeopardising your own articles if you continue do so, I will not be replacing them if your actions cause them to be deleted. The articles ranged in length between 350 words to 800 words. That iis the instruction I give writers. If you want longer pieces PLEASE PLEASE mention them. As for the links - those websites DEMAND that you source EVERY lfactual comment - especially that sports site you mentioned. If you want me to delete links - it is a simple matter of telling me to delete links and I will do so per your request. However, you did NOTHING to reach out out to me about this, except throw your toys out of the pram, demand half your money back and threaten a bad review. If the length/links are an issue, please let me know so i can change this. This has NEVER beeen an issue with the hundreds of clients I have. Please let me know which articles you want changing I will amend as necessary or even replace with fresh articles if you're as unsatisfied as you seem (neither of which you asked for).
- Yes, unfortunately, due to the nature of this businesses, ,typos will creap in.. Escpecially when we have a mass order of over 10 articles with foreign keywords,. However, as mentione 100% of your aticles have been fied withing 24 hours of you notifying me of the typos. Your finally piece that was misspelt is being ENTIRELY re-written and will be published in a day or two. Those typos were fixed in 24 hours as I have emails that show you complain about them, and then me repy with fixes within 24 hours. However, if there are still some typos, please show me via email and I will fix them or issue a refund.
- Again, I am not prepared to discuss my inventory. Neither of those sites publishes ANYTHING on the root domain. PR is irrelevant to my service as I don't even offer or respect this metric. I sell my service based off the Domain Authority and I checked that the so-called "sub-domains" all have the same authority. I've not once had a complaing otherwise I would not be featuring them in my inventory or atleast be upfront with every client before getting into a mess like this. If you don't like it, i have NO problem giving you a refund no questions asked. But these two articles, bought at a very very low discount, do not equate to "half your money".
- I told you that it was 1am where I was whle you were emailing me and that I will take a look at your order in the morning (as in today) so I can see what is missing from your order. A cursory look at me order sheet does not show 5 articles missing - but just ONE. This is something I'd have to check against your emails and the emails I sent you. However, I will not be doing that in this casse as you have taken matters into a dispute.
- I geniunely feel sorry for you. You completely overreacetd and are now throwing accusations left and right. Some of my customers I've been working with over two yeras. The ONLY reason I gave you an unprecedented levels of DOUBLE discounts was because I'm only interested in building long term relationships with customers, which is why i am completely amenable to sorting out your issues - as long as you don't overreact. I am guessing you had bad expereiences in the past which is why you are reacting this way, but, to be frank, i don't think you know whart you are doing. THIS IS A BLACK HAT SERVICE with me ILLEGALLY posting links on branded sites that DON'T BELONG TO ME. This will require flexibilty on both your part and my part to achieve. Somethign you've refused to be.
All the best.

I sent you numerous emails about the issues and yes, you tried to fix some of those issues, but for these prices per link, I would expect a lot better service.
One more thing one of my employees noticed is that some links that you promote as do follow are actually nofollow. You see? Just too much problems and fixing, poor quality for high prices.
I do SEO/Marketing professionally full time with office full of employees and I don't really have time for such problems and incompetent service providers like you.
Anyway, hope you learn your lesson and step up your quality in your future projects.

Thanks for your feedback. All comments are positively received. If you see a no follow link being sold as a do follow - please inform us. This has happened in the past and we have ALWAYS ALWAYS given a free replacement. However, we do give you all the website addresses where your articles will appear before you order, in the expectation you perform your own due deligience.

Wow, awesome reviews here. 30 days guarantee encourages a lot as well. OP, can you clarify one thing for me please. So, for $50 - $120 (depending on chosen website) I will get a fresh article with my link where latter you will ad 9-27 other people links, or you will place my link on an old unrelated post with 9-27 other people links already inside?
The article was fresh and the other external links are from websites like bbc, dailymail, other news websites... the only link that is out of the picture is yours.
As I said before, it will probably boost the authority though in the long run.

Yes. Sent you PM
Hi, yes, the articles are FRESH written under the account name of staff members of those sites. There's only ONE site that literally DEMANDS our writer post an authority link for EVERY SINGLE factual statement or quote/ In an 800 word article that amounts to a lot of links. But that, as dotblock says, is refletive of the HIGH editorial stanadards of that site and atually boost its authority.
Stll, if you don't like it, i can remove a reasonable number.

Hi, I'm afraid due to issues of client confidentiality, i cannot share sample articles. But rest assured that any article that you see published on these high profile domain names is the EXACT same quality you will be getting through aged author accounts.
Thanks

I buy a LOT of links like these, but I'm slightly concerned about the mixed reviews. I also do SEO full time and cannot afford the time to deal with niggling little issues that shouldn't have arisen in the first place. If you'd like to send me a full price list I'll consider a trial purchase, and we'll see how we go.
