I didn't get a discounted review, but figured I would leave a quick one.
I ordered the Platinum Package and am quite impressed. All I gave Sidegeek was the niche, and he delivered a thoroughly researched, well written website in a very timely manner.
The articles are full of longtails, but blend in so not to appear spammy. There were a couple of minor changes that I wanted done (personal preference stuff) that were done quickly.
I have already ordered another one. :thumbsup:
Just got my site today and wanted to leave a review.
Speed: 5/5
Delivered VERY quickly after I had sent him the domain and hosting info.
Quality 4.5/5
The site looks great and is a perfect pumper site. My only recommendation would be to inner link between article and add outbound links to authority sites. Otherwise it was great.
Communications: 5/5
Professional and kept me up to date.
Value 5/5
Fair price. I'm sure it could be done cheaper, but this provider is very reliable...something I value highly.
Overall 4.5/5
Highly recommended for building a blog network or for a small niche site. I plan on hiring him again for another site.
I ordered a review copy of Platinum package a few days ago and here is my review.
Speed: 4.5/5
I got my site ready 5 days after submitting all the details. Still very fast considering the quality of final product
Design 5/5
The site looks perfect with nice theme matching the niche and good quality images. Sidebar with related posts and video. About, Privacy Policy and Contact pages.
Content 5/5
The site has 5 posts over 750 words long. The content is high enough quality for a money site. Posts are written around main and secondary keywords as requested with good potential for long-tail ranking
Price 4/5
I got the site done at 50% discount. Not sure what a market price for such site is. Usually I do it myself. Just noticed that the price went up a bit since I ordered
Communications: 5/5
Was updated on progress when site was almost done. Otherwise didn't have much communication but email and skype is there if I had to.
Overall I am very happy with the result. Attention to details and quality of work is something you don't get here every time. Highly recommended
looks pretty good, going to try it out if anything
Speed: 5/5
Even with a stated snafu with one writer, SideGeek sorted it out and delivered a finished product AHEAD of schedule.
Quality 4.75/5
Nice design, high quality (good flow) writing, nice images, nice SEO titles. As good as if I'd done it myself, didn't give it 5/5 on quality because the quality rating should never be reached, should always be room for improvement. Only thing I'd change is slap a Home custom link in the menu for users who aren't familiar with WP and don't know you can navigate back home by clicking the site title.
Communications 5/5
SideGeek responded upon payment with a completion date. When that looked threatened, he aprised me of the situation. I never wondered what was up with this project. And then he dealt with the potential issues and still came in ahead of schedule.
Value 5/5
Time is money, only money is abundant and time can only be spent once. This site for $125 (I paid 1/2 of that for this review) + a half hour of my time monetizing it + some PPC or SEO will return a positive ROI quickly. I'd guesstimate that I can turn this site into a $1500/month profit center if I want to continually monitor a PPC campaign or I can put it on an automated link drip for the next six months and it'll be a PR3. That's real measurable value for the price paid/time invested.
Overall 4.9375/5
Because math. SideGeek, I'll find some more sites in my portfolio and have you do a couple per month as long as the quality stays this good. Thanks for asking me to review this.
Hey Sidegeek, I just friend requested you. I'd love to see what you can do.. How do I pm you?
