My Review:Silver Package
I want to preface this by saying I am no domain or PBN expert. Perhaps I used the wrong tools or method when gathering my information. If I did, I apologize and will amend the review to reflect that.
For reference I'm using Ahrefs for backlinks analysis, Moz for PA/DA, and Majestic for CF/TF. I also used archive.org to check some of the domains.
Also, I'd like to thank _clicking_ for this nice little review template.
Communication: 2/5 - Based on the previous months reviewers, I wrongly assumed communication would be open and relatively speedy. To get a response it took anywhere from 4 to 7 days. My most recent question has gone unanswered for well over a week.
Speed(Turn-Around-Time): 3.5/5 - I don't remember the exact turnaround time but I believe it was something like 16 business days. This isn't a terribly big deal but felt it was worth mentioning. While I'm completely okay with waiting a few extra days, not being made aware of the increased TAT before or during the creation of the PBN was worrying.
Quality: 2.5/5 - The quality of domains is okay. From what I understand the most important aspect of a PBN domain is a good 200-300 clean backlinks. In the original post there is no promise or mention of backlinks so I wasn't expecting that many. A few of the websites do have a couple hundred links most coming from a handful-50 referring domains.
While some of the domains are great with decent backlink profiles and promised metrics, many are not. It seems that DA in particular was off. Many of the domains have 2 -4 less DA than stated in the report I received and one of them even had a DA of 10.
I've only began building out about half the domains received. One thing I noticed was that two of the domains came deindexed. It is slightly unusual as social signals were built to them but this wasn't a cause for alarm as they have been expired. One of the deindexed domains(the DA 10), I built up almost immediately. I added WP, built web 2.0s to, added my own article, and installed a sitemap plugin. This domain still has not indexed after nearly two weeks but perhaps there is still hope. I ended up using archive.org and noticed that someone else has purchased the domains in late 2014. It looks like it was used as someone's PBN and eventually linked out to hundreds or perhaps thousands of other websites. This may be linked to the reason the website is not indexing, I can't be sure.
The other deindexed domain has 64k(3k alive) backlinks with the mass majority going to the homepage. It looks sketchy to me but perhaps it's unrelated. I haven't touched this domain and the only thing done to it was the OP sending social signals.
A couple of the domains have disturbingly low backlinks. The one that most comes to mind has what appears to be 0 backlinks. Based on what I know, the metrics, and backlinks I'm not even sure it can be considered a PBN domain.
Price: 3.5/5 - Obviously $300-400 dollars is rather inexpensive when compared with other PBN creation services, this is doubly so when you consider the overwhelming experience of the OP.
Overall the quality of the domains was a mixed bag.
Maybe, I'm completely off base with this review. As I said earlier in the post perhaps I'm doing something incorrectly. If so I will amend the review.
However, based on my research and limited knowledge I can't, in good conscience, recommend this service.
If anyone with PBN experience could help me sort through a couple of these domains, I would be eternally grateful.

As any one heard from the thread starter. I've had a few issues since my initial review, and communication after sale hasn't be pretty much non-existent.

Hey everyone, we are back!
I was out of commission for several months after some unexpected surgery, but am back in the office now. Life Pro Tip: Eat healthy! If you don't it gets really painful down the road.
T0NYS and I have teamed up because I needed the help to deal with the volume of orders. So we will be working together to develop Your Own PBN.
We've expanded on our original offer to bring you much better quality sites. Each site will now have about and contact pages, display ads and banners, premium themes, the works. And that's on top of the solid, spam-free domains with custom content for your links that we've always had.
We still take care of the first month or first year of hosting depending on which package you choose. After that initial period hosting will run about $3 per site per month - so $30/month for 10 sites, $60/month for 20 sites and so on.
So if you're ready to take control of your links and Get Your Own PBN, go back to the front page here: http://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/get-your-own-pbn-never-buy-links-again-only-20-spots-available.799668/
