From him I wanted traffic Price was attractive to me, and I decided to buy The description of what is offered following : "I am offering blog posting service, many blog topic covered, suitable for your product review, website latest news, announcement or anything.

Can you tell me when did he submitted your posts to those sites ? As far as your site is concerned you do not need to worry it will come back, if your site was penalized becuase of dublicate content. This is normal if something like this is been done. It will not harm your site else then it might me not rank as it used to be. Google discount such links and doesn't pass out any power to the site to which it was linked. You should have guess already as the service provider himself was not owning a domain.How can he provide you a great service then. Nowadays everybody is trying to run a seo company, so its too hard for all of us to decide who are experts and who are novice. Its also your responsibility to see to whom you are delivering your project, a good indepth analysis of your seo expert is indeed half success. Just have Patience your site will be back. Just build content and try to gain some links from High Authority sites. Best of Luck Bharat
