I received one PBN link in return for an honest review.
I have assessed what was delivered against the BST sales copy.
Brandable Domains
The domain which my link was from was indeed brandable - and a pretty solid one at that. The site is setup fairly broadly/generic.
Content Relevant to the Site
Content was relevant, but pushing it a little - many of the more recent posts at least were about gadgets/tech and my post was related to a home service.
@moviemoney - it might just be worth making sure the site is really a good fit for the post or not accepting specific topics if they won't work well to ensure the standard doesn't drop. I appreciate in this instance my site was pretty specific and likely to be a tough one to place. It did just about work with the site.
There were definitely plenty of articles on the site. The seller says there are over 2500. I didn't count them all, but have no reason to dispute this. Google only shows 232 pages indexed for the domain though using the 'site:' operator.
Epic Link To Content Without Links *Ratio*
This is definitely true. There are a ton of posts on the site, with many of them not directly linking out. However, there are a load of 'review' posts which are review videos embedded from youtube, along with the video description. This does mean that some of the posts are a little thin content wise and don't contain and unique content, but certainly true that outbound links on the site are quite low.
Throwing in a few more unique, handwritten articles in amongst these youtube video posts might be worthwhile to ensure a decent amount of 'proper' content on the site.
Solid Support and TAT
Turn around time was good. Seller delivered in 3 days, no arguments there whatsoever.
Site Quality
The site itself is well designed and looks great. There is a custom logo and it does have the feel of a money site (excluding the youtube posts, which are a little offputting). It has contact page (which even includes a street address in the US - great for trust signals!), privacy and ToS.
At 53, the DR for the site of my post was way over the average mentioned in the sales copy. Ahrefs showing 67 referring domains.
According to Ahrefs, the site ranks for over 200 keywords, though doesn't get much organic traffic from those.
Links in to the site are from solid domains. Seller suggested that these links could be sold as guest posts rather than PBNs due to the quality, and I wouldn't really argue with that.
The sales copy mentions 'sites optimized for load speed where possible'. The site I saw wasn't too bad speed-wise - the homepage loaded in 2.2s according to GTmetrix, but there is room for improvement; E for PageSpeed score and C for YSlow.
The post itself was well written and well thought out and good quality. It reads well and makes sense - something I'm pretty strict on, even with PBN links.
Value for Money
As shown in the sales copy, the links essentially break down to be $3 each. Whilst I got this for free, I certainly wouldn't be unhappy with 10 links of this quality for $30, and standard of the site and content is better than a number I have seen. All in all, I would say that this service delivers as promised and at a good quality for the price.
) clearly written by a good quality writer with a nice flow, The content was engaging, conversationally written and easy to read. The link was contextually placed at a strategic point within the article.
