Just ordered! #5144
It would be nice from @sergey007 to clarify based on the review above if keywords are exclusive or are they being given to more than 1 client. If they are being give to more than 1, how many exactly ?
Still waiting reply from @Surgey007...
This is a well over-due review for Sergey and the service! A lot of providers will constantly press for reviews for their thread, but I never once had Sergey request one ... that's how you know all of the reviews are very genuine.
I've taken so long to write a review because of my work-load that it's only fair to give Sergey a detailed review.
PRE-SALE
I've never built out an Amazon website before, and my background is in local consulting & SEO. So, I figured that I would hire someone from BHW. I spoke with just about every service provider, and to some extent, everyone talks and looks about the same. I wanted to find the X factor.
Just like with an SEO vendor, I wanted to see proof of concept because as they say, the proof is in the pudding. Sergey had far and away the best sample site. It wasn't so much that the design blew me away, but it was the structure of it, and the fact that it wasn't just a sample site, but Sergey's live case study. It proved his knowledge and expertise to me because he's not just using that as a dummy site to act as a sample, but it proves Sergey does this for himself too. I was very impressed by the rankings, and If I recall correctly, I believe it makes $500 - $1,000 a month for Sergey passively. Not bad for the sample site.
We spoke for a while, and it was a no-brainer to go with him. He has an awesome and user-friendly questionnaire system after you purchase.
Delivery
Naturally, I was pretty excited to get it going, but I had to keep my patience. It seemed to drag a little bit, but Sergey did keep me up in the loop.
After I purchased, Sergey was pretty quick to send me a logo, niche idea, the keywords, and potential products ... oh and even domain name ideas. It all looked good so we ran with it.
Took a couple of weeks until I heard back, but I eventually got my shiny new website. Sergey added images, creative titles for the pages, proper plugins like Yoast, and decent content. He ensured that all pages got indexed by Google, a very nice extra-measure.
Website Design
Overall, I like the design, particularly the homepage. It's dynamic versus having a static page with your main pillar article. I think the SILO structure could be improved as well, but what all do you want from Sergey for the $$.
Content
Definitely not bad. Again, it's a lot of value for the $$, so it's hard to expect superb content. It's more like quickly researched content. If writing content is like taking a pitchfork to the nuts for you, then I would order more content because it certainly works.
Sergey also takes the time to monetize the links and website, something I was shocked to see some service providers charge as an up-sell.
Images
Sergey added product images to all posts + headers. I need to change the alt tags because I see that some were taken from competitor websites. The others were taken from Amazon. Seems like standard practice, so I don't fault Sergey, but I think I personally will be changing images out. It's enough to get you going.
Keyword Research
I've definitely saved the best for last here. THIS is what makes the service. The keyword research is impeccable for the money.
Over-delivery, 10/10 A++++++++++ for keyword research
I see some service providers specialize on Amazon Keyword Research on this forum and charge an arm + 2 legs for just the keyword. And, many times they'll charge that for just ONE keyword (with long tails).
Here's the crazy part.
Sergey literally provides two or three handful's of well-researched, low-competition keywords. He uses LongTailPro, and while he shows images in the earlier posts with some keywords having scores of around 15, mine mostly hovered around 20 - 30. Again, not bad. Not bad at all!
These are keywords that have 1,000+ searches a month.
Either Sergey does phenomenal keyword research, or he purchases these keywords from sellers here, it's tremendous value.
**WORTH MENTIONING**
Of course, somethings in life seem too good to be true, and there's a catch to the keyword research. I don't believe Sergey explicitly says anywhere that keywords are exclusive, and that he doesn't recycle keywords to other customers.
Unfortunately, upon doing my competitor analysis, I saw some websites that resembled the image of my own ... and had many of the same keywords.
Certainly wasn't an exciting moment to see, but these are very good keywords that I see why Sergey has done that. I'm not afraid of competition and will continue to rock with the website, no doubt, but this is one element I hope Sergey reconsiders for the future (or at least capping how many websites are given those keywords).
Still, for the $$ well worth it.
HOLY SH%^
A few weeks after delivery, I had my holy shit, heart dropping moment. One of the hosts that Sergey used to use ... I guess the guy must have forgot to pay his own hosting bill because their website was suspended, which in turn took down every client's website.
I'm pretty sure this happened on a Saturday too, so I was pretty concerned. Sergey got back to me within an hour or two, and transferred my website to a new host. Remarkable.
That is some serious post-delivery customer service.
Overall
These are my honest thoughts about the service.
I'm very happy with my choice of going with Sergey, and will certainly use him again in the future. All of the keywords are under the same 'niche', but are still different product categories, which means he gives you more than enough to keep you busy for a whillleeeeee (they're a bunch of seed keywords that branch into a million directions for more opportunities).
- I wish the content quality was a little bit better, but again, hard to complain at the price point. I'm going to continue to write most of my content.
- The design is nice, but I believe the same themes may be used for clients (with some modifications).
- The logo is really, really nice! I certainly hope it is custom, but it is very, very nice!!!
- The host is meh. I've been speaking with Sergey about it, but the load time of the website is relatively slow.
I'm not sure if this has to do with the host, but my existing pages can sometimes take hours to update. We're not sure if it's the host or cache, but actively working to get that right. It's not like Sergey has just abandoned me, but he's helping with these matters too!
Will You Make Money????!!!!
The million dollar question, am I right?
With these niches and keywords, there is the opportunity to make a serious amount of passive income. I've analyzed competitors, and they receive significant traffic from these related keywords (most of them niche down to just one or two of what Sergey provides), and I estimate a very healthy monthly income from Amazon.
It will take work, so be prepared.
This is the first month that I've really been able to buckle down and start heavily working on my site (I received it only a few months ago). I am ranking for many keywords, but now the problem is getting over the hump, and bumping those pages to the first page.
Also, with a newer domain, you will need to build authority and backlinks in order to rank, even for these keywords. However, I've seen some authority websites in the niche put up a page for my targeted keywords, and then rank first page quickly, and drop to 2nd and 3rd page, whereas it took me time to get there.
Sergey is giving you all the basics and laying the ground work.
Excellent Service!!! I've never left a review this long before, those Amazon review pages must be doing something to me![]()
Interested in some samples of both Amazon and Adsense sites
