Wait, are you serious about them being legitimate traffic-pulling sites? I've always assumed those services were just glorified PBNs that get deindexed in a few months. Hearing that you've used them for a year without issues is blowing my mind. I tried something similar last year and it was a complete waste of money. The sites I got were clearly spammy and didn't pull any real traffic. So you're telling me these actually have decent domain authority and real visitors? That changes everything I thought about outsourcing link building.
