    Hopefully you haven't had to bend the rules too much? like selling your soul or something. :)

    Did you approach bigmouthmedia yourself?

    Naa no yearly deal lifetime deal :) you can check www.h-log.com now it has over 2K links on it :D, and since Bigmouthmedia is known i think links are quality and no spammy sites :) . So overall good deal. no soul selling took place, i realized the paypal feels are actually high will cost alone $50 or so , so asked them to cover the same and also for labor put in lolz.


    And no they approached me !!

    Ideally if they approach you, they should have an offer in mind, i mean ideally for you, by coming to you but waiting for you to announce what you can offer them it puts you in a vunerable position, they know you want the cash and they know you will twist and bend for them.

    You can end up offering something and they keep their reputation and dont get called cheapskates.

    Do they negotiate properly or just say no to certain things?

    Don't do it unless they're paying by Escrow, and you get the money in your hands first.
    A lot of scams from featured listings these days...that's a lot of money and a lot of links to hand someone for free. So if you're going to take the offer, don't take a risk - be smart, use Escrow.

    Cool, may be able to help you there on the name if you can tell, good luck with business anyway.

    :)

    Good advice, you definately want that protection that an escrow service provides, i would say for anything over $500 or $1000 its worth using escrow, ask the buyer to cover that cost.

    Popular method in the domaining world.

    No no, im not saying that, if you know how escrow works, you will understand that it protects both the buyer and the seller, sure it could cost $50, but its better for both sides, its something that the likes of paypal cannot offer.

    Escrow services are not 100% perfect, nothing can be, but it is better than doing it through paypal.
    The size of a company or its years established doesn't mean that something cannot go wrong.

    Its worth it when your dealing in the thousands.

    Expand. I've always wondered about it. How does it prevent paidhosting from deleting all their links after they paid? Scams can still happen??

    Thats a good point, and something im not sure on, maybe they could involve paper work in it too, done through the escrow service, if they allow for that, stating that if the links are removed outside the agreed deal then they can take legal action.

    Get a contract between yourself and the Seo companies maybe, secure further business and with more security.

    They will either go for it or s**t bricks when they realise your professional. :)
