Ok, I was also waiting to give my review on this service, in order to see any measurable results and to determine the true quality.
Intangibles
The turn-around time was pretty good. Everything was delivered in about a week. Communication with Belikethat is very good.
What You Receive
-15 web properties
I was given a list of 18 properties, but upon checking the list, some of the URLs in the list sent to me are duplicates. Looks like I was actually given 15 properties.
-List of web property RSS feed submission
-List of social bookmarks
-Huge list of forum links (not sure on exact number, many thousands)
-Username and passwords to edit properties
Issues and Resolution
Upon first receiving the report, I checked a few of the properties, and my specified anchor tags were wrong in a few different places (some had a weird character). This just shows me that the articles were probably copied and pasted in and probably not proof-read or double checked by whoever was doing the work. I told Belikethat about it, and he was able to quickly fix the issue for me. I hope this was just an anomaly.
2 of the properties were missing content all-together, I informed BLT and he fixed it pretty quickly.
3 of the properties in the list sent are duplicates, and the OP mentions 25-35. I don't know if I was given only 15 as a review or not.
SEO Quality
The content overall is pretty good. It is readable and comes off as a typical blog post. Some of the articles/properties are interlinked, while others only link to your site. Would like to perhaps see some images
My only question is why use a random name in the URLs of the properties? Plus the same name was used for each property, which basically creates a footprint of your properties. If you are going to use a random name in the property URL, randomize it for all or just use one of my anchors.
IE: instead of "jamesjohnson123.blogspot.com" and "jamesjohnson123.wikidot.com", use "jamesjones123.blogspot.com" and "bobanderson123.blogspot.com". OR use "bluewidgets.blogspot.com" and "redwidgets.wikidot.com".
Results
I am seeing a bit of improvement on some of my keywords. 2 of the lesser competitive keywords are ranking in the top 10 (one is in the top 5). While I can't give total credit to this service (I have been using some other link building on this site), I can acknowledge that this service did give a boost to my site, as the site is not really optimized on-page.
I would still wait about a week or two to see the full results of this service. I think Belikethat is on to something with this service. Adding on some bulk blog comments to these properties would probably make this even stronger.
Need to work out a few kinks in the delivery of this service. The communication w/ BLT is great, and I am sure he will work this out since he knows what he's doing when it comes to SEO. I think the monthly plan might be a better option.
Thanks for the detailed review Magic Hat. I have noted all points and am discussing them with my partner. We will try and improve our service accordingly. Also noted the discussion about url names and their similarity. Can't really promise if we can randomise it since the process is semi automated but will give it a shot.
belikethat,
I paid already for this service but I have a few questions that I pm you about before submitting the form. Was wondering if you are getting my pm?
Hey,
Any update on this?
Thanks.
will update you guys as I go through my 80 something PMs.
Guys, I would really prefer if you guys catch me on skype or email:
belikethat.513@gmail.com
I had been out of town for a few days, hence the slowdown in answering PMs. Communication via PM is usually slow with me.
