Review: Buyer Beware
I notice the OP is banned but I see it's just a temporary ban until the 20th, so I'm going to share my thoughts of this service anyways, to help others analyze this service.
The OP randomly PMed me a review copy. He asked for 2 articles to be sent for him to post and link from. Here are my thoughts.
First, looking at the thread... there's no mention of # of ref domains. TF28 is useless as it only takes a couple links to make that happen. I see one keyword is ranking #9, but for a 0 MS keyword.
Anyways, my 2 articles were placed as expected. The theme and style of the website is plain. The social buttons are not hooked up. There is a small image in the corner of each post, about 200px wide. The fav icons for both posts are default.
Where the scale really tipped was when I asked the OP about having additional authority links in the articles so that it looks natural. His response: "we accept one link per article." So right now, each article only links to me, and it would never pass a manual inspection. This is probably the worst part about this service, and what really makes it a red flag for me. The OP is stubborn about how many links are placed in each article and is very unwilling to help or accommodate his buyers' concerns. It's not like I was asking for more links to my sites, I just wanted some authority links mixed in, like every other half-decent PBN does.
The links were posted, one in the middle and one at the very end of the article. I asked the OP to move the link at the end, to somewhere in the middle, more contextual.
The quality must have been different when the thread was approved, because the quality I received was super low. $97 for 20 posts is just outrageous for this kind of service.
My main problem with the sites is that they are so clearly part of a PBN and you would never want to risk using them on tier 1. Only 1 link in the article... really?? For $97, it's just not worth the price. You can find similar quality for well under $50.
Anyways, I just figured I'd leave an honest review, as they're hard to come across these days. Most people rather keep their mouth shut and let the rest of the forum get ripped off, like how WSOs are.
Summary: If you're a beginner and don't know what you're buying, this isn't for you. If you know you're getting into junk and risky links, it's only worth it if it's discounted over 50% from the original $97. $5 per post is just insane for this level of quality.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask here with an @ mention and I'll share my thoughts.
Cheers and good luck on your hunt for PBN links.
