All the best for this but what is your goal ? How much return do you expect and in what time ?

MisterF · Jan 29, 2018

Out of interest are you purchasing these services openly ( using your BHW username ) or not revealing who you are?

Just for the website to rank. It's an experiment as to the effectiveness of BHW services, answering the question "What does $1,000 and no effort get you"

Yes openly, although that shouldn't make a difference. It's moving away from the sales thread just so users have a place to see a single review easily rather then embedded in 800 replies like most sales threads are.

The only problem is that you won’t know which one of those services had the biggest effect (positive or negative).

Also there are a lot of other factors - content quality and amount, on-page seo, anchor text ratios and so on.

Still, not a bad idea and it’ll be good to see the outcome.

Why did you stop updating your first journey?

darulez · Jan 29, 2018

no need to test.
as in 3-6 months they will start to rot.

LiquidLeads · Jan 29, 2018

Intresting like the first part,

Im in

life2ifeless · Jan 29, 2018

How would you know which of the services is effective and which isn’t?

Do you have a control website to cross compare?

AGENCYELITE · Jan 30, 2018

@khalid87,

great thread khalid87. Yes it is a pain to go through multiple posts/pages in a thread to read a genuine review by an honest buyer.

meanwhile even I am interested in knowing how do you track the results for each of these services? will you be implementing each separate separately one at a time?

Thank You.

If this thread gets exposure, some of the people offering the services will be tempted to overdeliver or treat your orders with more attention.
Hope they will refrain.

Anyway, it is always nice to see reviews for bhw services.
And as @davids355 said, how are you going to track progress for each service?

nata0292 · Jan 30, 2018

this gonna be insteresting

KHer0 · Jan 30, 2018

As long as you bought them with your current username, you will get their best links cuz they know about this thread.

So, whatever the results, everyone should know this the highest quality the seller can provide and he probably wont get the same results

KingMasterEg · Jan 30, 2018

Y u didnt bought one domain and focus keyword for every service to track them fairly and build Pbn .. u paid good amount and domain with hosting and some content not big deal..it should be good experiment ..

Following ..

Agreed, there are on-page factors which is why each page has a reasonable amount of quality content and such to make it as fair as possible.

I sold one of the websites, the other was in the first journey and didn't take off at all hence we're back for part 2!

I'd disagree, from my first journey one site has retained the keyword rankings.

life2ifeless said:

I'll mostly be comparing the rankings versus competition on sub pages where I've only bought a single service.

The experiment is flawed in the sense I've bought multiple packages at once but it could go to prove the effectiveness of spending a lot at once over various services. What does $1,000 get you?

As above, "The experiment is flawed in the sense I've bought multiple packages at once but it could go to prove the effectiveness of spending a lot at once over various services. What does $1,000 get you?"

In the first journey it didn't make any difference because I was actually refunded by one seller where as the other delivered ranking changes.
