Gold Package Ordered, Project #217
Please delete project #216 my bad... got trigger happy...
got my reports for 4 x boosters.
High quality work. I'm happy with it, and will likely order again.
My only suggestion: include bulk discounts and bulk facilities (like download all files for several projects at a time), or approve several project files at a time.
I hardly ever buy 1 order at a time, and my time is money, so if you can use it more efficiently, that will draw me back quicker.
comments were 2x more than advertised
Just ordered - #222 and #223. Love the interface.
Just got my report, have a few questions for dchuk/grindstone before I leave review though.
Stupid ass Microsoft word - sorry for the double post:
Definitely the premier service here on wickedfire. Took a site for a pretty competitive keyword (actually quite a few keywords) and first paged the site - #8 for the main keyword. If that’s not enough I still have a gold package in the works so here’s hoping for a top 3 position by the first of the year. Plus the control panel for Layered Links is fantastic.
Already building out sites and will be shooting them thousands of dollars of business in the new year.
Review:
I ordered the smallest booster package to trial this service out and to see what I thought about it.
Pros: The backend system is very slick and easy to use, I wish more services used something similar to this and it would be good to see dchuk and co open this up for others to use (I'd love to be able to offer xrumer blasts for example).
It's nice to see a few properties that aren't always used, for example the document storage things are a nice touch and it isn't something that many of the other mininet providers use. I haven't done any tests so I have no idea how effective they are, but at least it's a different type of link for diversity.
You get updated every step of the way and always have a clear guide on how far away your projection is for competition.
All the properties also have a few pictures which always make the properties look more authentic.
Cons:
The articles haven't been spun great, they are definitely readable but if you are familiar with the best spinner or any other software it's fairly easy to spot that they have been spun.
I'd also suggest that when spinning they put whatever your keyword into the do not spin list as sometimes my keyword was spun (not when linked mind you, but sometimes in the header).
That being said, my target term was medical related and this is something pretty much all providers struggle with (and even unique content struggles as well) and something I'm completely fine with.
What could make this service better?
First of all, please put a log in link on the main page (or make it easier to see if it's already there). I had to keep searching in my email for the log in link and it was a PITA.
Is it possible to turn notifications off/only be notified when something needs to be approved? At some stages I would get hit with like 5 notifications in a row and my email always pops up so it's pretty distracting, it's especially annoying when it's just letting you know something is done but you don't need to approve it.
Little bit better spinning, some of my stuff doesn't make a whole lot of sense, I'm fairly certain this is to do with my niche so if you order something a bit more general/easy to understand it mightn't be an issue.
SERP movement:
I was targeting a $100/day+ phrase so I would have been surprised to see any SERP movement. I really just ordered this package to see the quality of the work and to decide if I wanted to order a bigger package.
Would I order again?
I think I'd definitely like to order a bigger package and see what effect it has on my rankings and then make a bulk purchase based on that.
Overall rating:
8/10
I'd also like to point out that there was a small error with my package and grindstone personally fixed it within about an hour and it looks like they put in place some procedures to make sure it doesn't happen again. That's the type of service you get from these guys.
