I like the look of this but i am a little wary of people that offer (offered in your case) pay on results SEO. You can’t really guarantee results so a lot of the time you are running the risk of losing out of a lot of money, especially if you stick to white hat techniques that can be quite time consuming. For example hxxp://friendfrost.com/ was registered on godaddy on 15-nov-06. It has 5163 backlinks in yahoo hxxp://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?ei=UTF-8&p=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.friendfrost.com%2F&bwm=i&bwmf=u&searchbwm=Explore+URL If you look at a lot of the links they seem to be parked pages on hxxpp://www.dzn.com a lot of the other links seem to just come from hxxp://www.getgreatcodes.com so basically it looks like a lot of the links have gone and if getgreatcodes drops the link the site is screwed If you also look at the links too hxxp://www.howtodoseo.com it seems to have gained 2.5k links in a bit over a year but all the sites seem a bit dodgy or from a single website hxxp://www.professionaldesigner.co.uk (who openly link to an se cloaking page) quite a few of the other links are from other seo companies. If i owned an SEO company i wouldn’t link to other companies offering the same services! I get the feeling a lot of the links are generated automatically which i am pretty sure isn’t ideal when it comes down to seo I could just be over paranoid and the service is perfectly decent and if so I apologise to Paul for going on one but I am just very cautious when choosing any SEO company to help me out. I have to admit its sometimes tempting to go with someone that offers great service but is a bit dodgy but i would be gutted if i got banned off Google.
I paid for this service and regret doing so, Paul offered detailed reports on a weekly basis showing you what they have done for the site during that week as you are allegedly getting one person to work six days a week 8 hours a day on your site. Now a month later I received three reports, first one was a report showing that they did a link campaign, "I guess it took a week to submit 150 links?" Second week I get a report showing what things I need to improve on my site so that it rank better. Third report simply showed where my keywords where ranking. Now I have been doing allot of SEO work on my site, I was already in the top 30 when I contacted him about his services. He wants to take credit for some of my keywords being in top ten. I am not saying that they have not done anything, but I have no evidence of the work done other than a link campaign and one HTaccess file modification. He failed to provide the detailed reports, showing me what was done to my site for the week. So if you want to pay someone and do not care to see how your money is being spent then use Paul. But if you are like me and want to know where your money is going as every dollar counts then you might want to re-consider using his services. Sorry Paul but I personally do not know you and I am not throwing $350 bucks out the window every month and simply take your word that work is being done on my site.
As explained we were moving into a bigger office and therefore our reporting system had been down for a couple of weeks. We got 2 of your keywords into the top 10 within 3 weeks due to onsite changes that we performed and also a good link building campaign (Although you have yet to see most of the reports). I am compiling the reports for you tomorrow as discussed via PM. Since you have posted on the open forum i feel i should let my personal feelings be known, which are i think you are trying to simply get out of the next payment which is due by the way on the 25th, but i guees you already knew that I think this is whats happend here: You have found that you are not getting as much traffic as you 1st thought from 2 of your keywords that WE got top 10. Therefore you have come up with this crap excuse that you need to see all the reports by the hour every day in order to pay us the next installment and continue with the work. Lets have it right here guys, if you gave me 10 keywords and i got 2 of them into the top 10 of Google.com within a month, would you REALLY be bothered about a few bloddy reports I dont think so. Please view this link here to see his latest rankings report that we sent over: Ranking Report. His other keywords are not far off the top 10 also!!!
I am sure he is not going to be happier that you have made public his domain name via the pdf. Also, the report is rubbish. It shows nothing about previous results so I fail to see how he will be happy wiith this anyway. Am I correct in saying that this is the update to the do not pay till you rank service you once offered?
ok this is the last pm i get from this now scanner. do business with paul at your own peril... He makes such a weak case, I am complaining because I do not want to pay for next month service? please note that there was no contract that required me to continue with his service, I did not have to continue if i did not want to/. Bottom line he failed to deliver what he promised,sadly I think he did npt do much, hence why he could not provide the proof of any work done. Was that unreasonable? I just wanted to see what work they did if any? Just today he feed me the baloney of moving to a new office... Stay away from paul if you value your money... Thanks furio for pointing out this guy is vindictive and not worth trusting... I guess since he is in the UK he feels he can poop on us and threaten to diminish the ranking of my site with black hat techniques? I will look to see if I have legal recourses against this guy tomorrow...
ok that is very dodgy, a company should never threaten a client, even if they are an awkward one. Also when i looked at the report that was sent and nicely shown for us all to read the keywords that were doing well were hardly difficult especially if your site was ranking ok in the first place. The site had a lot of content on it so i would of thought Google would quite like it as long as you get some decent links. And if you look in the services section you can buy articles and submissions for pretty cheap and also buy one way links off people so i would imagine tis probably cheaper and more successful to do it that way, then at least you know what work is done on your site.
LOL, if they dont have access to your pages they cannot "make" your rankings drop. P.S please don't send me a PM now.
Ok this is my last post as i have better things to do than get into a stupid argument. Number 1: If you think i wrote that PM exactly how he as put it then i am wasting my breath even typing this. Anyone can alter PM's. Number 2: Who the hell are you HunterUK! You only have 5 posts on DP and it just happens that your very first post was to slate our service. It smells like you have 2 DP accounts here Number 3: If his rankings were soooo good to start with, why would you waste your money and employ an SEO company to work for you haynesey: I you want to chat thats fine. There are always 2 sides to every story mt friend.
No just been reading for a while before i signed up, one of my mates at work uses the site and i caught on from there. I have made other posts today, just don't like to get caught up with replies cos I will never leave here if i do! hehe And I didn't mean to slate your service i am sorry, i was looking for someone UK based to help out with SEO, I am sorry if I laid into your services initially i am just very paranoid about being scammed. On further research I do think its better just to stick with the other services like article writing, directory submissions and one way links, as I suspect thats what most SEO companies do anyway and if I pay out $40 for directory submissions and I get screwed over it is not the end of the world for me really, however i would be a bit upset if i had spent hundreds of $ and got screwed.
Hi there, I am keen to get pricing on your SEo service. My website is www.photosales.co.nz Keywords: New Zealand Photos Stock Photos Stock Photography NZ Photos Stock Image Library Digital images Stock Library Are you able to help?
Ok people is this guy full of it or not? Have a admin from this site check the DB to see if he sent me that pm or not, he must know that vbulletin tags each and every pm that goes trough the system. Stay away from this guy, he cannot be honest about a simple pm where he threatened me. As a matter of fact I will report it to the administration of this forum and they can chime in on the veracity of his pm.
So what if i threatend you with Black Hat SEO. You owe us $350 you idiot Any idiot knows that you cant use Black Hat without FTP access, which you cancelled a week ago anyway. What a stupid argument, he said he would do this BLA BLA BLA, you big kid!
OK, I'M DISGUSTED THAT HE PUT THAT! I AM NOT USING THIS SERVICE AND HOPE THAT KNOWONE ELSE WILL P.S SEE SCREENSHOT ABOVE AND YOU'LL SEE WHY I POSTED THIS
Ok so i have committed the crime of the century What would you do if someone scammed you out out $350?
So you are saying that if i scammed you for $350 you would just leave it At the time of writing that PM i was very angry, i think you would be if you had done a months work load and was due to be paid on the 25th and then someone told you they were cancelling 2 days before. He had all month to tell me, why wait until 2 days before. Now i have to pay my that worker out of my own pocket.
