This service has serious issues, in the last 2 or 3 weeks I've received 5 complaints from buyers who think they have received PBN links sold as guest post links. On investigation of this claim I think they are correct.

First, this is what the seller delivered for the mod review:

Lots of traffic, 20,000 keywords, clean history and an upward trend for organic traffic. All the good things you want to see.

They even forwarded me the out reach emails to prove this is a real site. Two other links were delivered and while they were not quite as good they were still decent.

However... This is not what the seller has been delivering to customers.

So far from the reports I have been given I have 19 unique domains.

Red Flag #1:
None of them have been registered for more than a year.

The majority of them were registered in October 2016 or December 2016.

If this was genuine out reach as the seller claims this would not be the case.

Red Flag #2:
The websites are very very poor.

Here are some screenshots, if these are genuine sites I would expect real advertising networks used, logos, decent theme, not having "sample" pages in the menus... Just basic stuff. These are low effort PBNs.

Seriously? "Genuine guest post outreach" and this is the sort of stuff they deliver?

If this was a PBN service I would have rejected it, I would expect far better from any product I approve on BHW.

I'm very tempted to share the domains here but I don't want their customers to get hit.

Red Flag #3:
They are all basically hosted on the same server:

I can't say more than this without exposing domains and IP's and I'm trying to avoid this as much as I can.

Red Flag #4:
No archive.org history... I can't say much without exposing domains but the only history I could find was spammy stuff such as selling U2 concert tickets and spammed travel sites. These are expired domains which have been restored with WordPress magazine themes and had very little effort put into them to try and trick people into thinking they are genuine sites. They are not.

Red Flag #5:
These have been spammed to death, I can't pick out domains and go into depth without exposing them but I could not find a single clean domain. 10 of the 19 domains had over 20,000 links... and these are not good links. This is GSA/Scrapebox blast level links.

I really could go further on this but I don't want it to take up my entire morning... but this thread is shut.

@Red Giant has been misleading BHW users into buying "guest posts" and then delivering very very poor PBN links in the hope of tricking them. Enabling him to sell links for $18-$25 each instead of the $1-$2 they are actually worth.

The user will be warned for 6 months to stop them submitting new marketplace threads and I will be looking closely at their other threads over the next couple of weeks.

This is not what we expect from sellers on BHW. If you are a customer of this service and you feel ripped off please contact him, if this gets you no where starting a Shit List thread against him is your next option.

I apologise for not catching this sooner.

Thanks
