I'm looking for someone who can do hand-crafted SEO for me. What I'm not looking for: 1. Directory submission 2. Promising you can get three gazillion people to stumbleupon my site 3. Blog comments If you think you can provide quality SEO services (interested in off-page more than on-page) please send me a pm with details of your service and price. In the interests of full-disclosure - my budget does not stretch to the equivalent of a full SEO service from an established company. But I'm also very realistic about what I can achieve on a smaller budget. Dylan
Hi Energetic, Thanks for the reply - but as I specified in my post - I'm not looking for directory listing. Dylan

attention anyone considering working for this guy. While my SEO effprt attained #1 on his identified project objective of topping out on Google.com.au he refuses to remit the remaining balance of $200. Leaving my efforts unpaid although my work yielded #1 "canvas printing" Google.com.au #1 "canvas prints" Google.com.au #1 "photo on canvas print" Google.com.au #1 "photos on canvas prints" Google.com.au all results current as of 11-8-2007 and there is many more on Yahoo #1. #2 "canvas print" Google.com.au It is highly advised that no one waste effort without receiving payment in full prior to working with him or his website www.brilliantprints.com.au Regards Mr. Tovey!!

Hi Tonya, I actually don't understand why this conversation is still going on. If you read my last two emails to you properly I said: 1. I was unhappy as I believed that we had mutually agreed to pause the project half way as I had not been 100% happy with the results or the methods you used so far. 2. I felt that we had a clear set of expectations about what would happen that you were now changing after three weeks of no email contact and after clearly indicating to me that we were going to "wait and see" before proceeding to stage 2 of the agreement. 3. However - I had already indicated to you that regardless of whether I felt it was fair or professional on your part to demand payment for a time-period in which you neither seem to have done any additional work - or provided me with any weekly reports on your activities as initially requested at the start of the relationship, I would remit payment anyway because I did not believe that it was productive to get into an email slanging match. I'm actually really disappointed that you decided to take this public (your last email to me not-withstanding) and am obviously going to have to consider Point 3. Edit: It is also worth noting that I held or was very close to holding all those 1# positions prior to retaining Tonya. And that the fluctuations of the SERPs means that I've been moving both up and *down* on them in the last few weeks (I was #1 two weeks ago, back to where I started last week, and 1# again this week. Dylan
Honestly, your failure to pay the balance convinced me to go public in an effort to protect others against allowing you to use their time without being reimbursed. In addition, obviously, as you stated "it was not a results oriented project" but being that you are enjoying the rewards of the effort. Worse yet, it is not a large sum of money that you owe, I do hope your company's guarantee at brilliantprints.com.au is better than your guarantee of remitting this balance owed, Otherwise, I suppose you do need the money much more than me. Point is you punked me by not paying and now everyone can be wary of working for you. At least you don't dispute that. Regards, Thomas j.
Hi Tonya, See - that was my dispute with you in a nut-shell. You obviously never actually read anything I send/post to/about you. I certainly do dispute your assertion that I was not going to pay you If you read my previous post properly you would have seen very clearly in the third point: "I would remit payment anyway because I did not believe that it was productive to get into an email slanging match." If you read the last two emails that I sent you (which you obviously didn't do properly) before you decided to post this Email from 7th of November - 1:27 "However - I don't think that we are going to get to the same point with this argument - thus to prevent ongoing acrimony I will try and arrange the release of the payment - while also still keeping in mind all the concerns I raised above. It might take some time as I will have to go through all the points you raise with my boss (who will need to authorise the payment) but I'll see how it goes" Email from 7th of November - 1:58 "But it's not worth arguing - I will talk to my boss and see what I can do". In the circumstances where I had been feeling that a) you were questioning my integrity for something where we had both clearly decided we were going to wait before proceeding b) you were giving me advice that was questionable (i.e. the whole discussion about whether being indexed in a search engine counted as a link to my site) I feel that my offer to admit payment regardless (and over my strong personal objections) was more than fair. Obviously you have now posted potentially defamatory things about both me and the company I work for (certainly under Australian law - I will be investigating options under US law) and any future discussion would need to take that into account. Dylan
LOL. According to United States law, in any state, so long as the statement is true, you can say whatever you want. Obviously, my statements are true because you have not paid the balance on the project as requested via Paypal. Therefore, if anyone is entertaining thoughts of litigation it should be me. However, you can bring this charade to an absolute end by remitting the balance like you are supposed to in accordance with the original and ongoing project which now is a payment dispute only. My intention by going public is to protect others from allowing you to use and waste their efforts while you alone are the one benefiting and perhaps even profiting. If you do not like my chosen forum, you should pay the balance. It is that simple.
Tonya, At least you could be professionally and intellectually honest by admitting that: a) you made a mistake in making your initial post because I offered to make payment on multiple occasions as clearly set out in the emails that I sent you (and which you aren't denying are an accurate reflection of our correspondence) b) I had clearly mentioned that it would take a few days as I needed to speak to my boss as both he and I had believed that our relationship was at an end. Other than me making payment personally - this was the only option open to me to satisfy your demands. c) That during that time you posted to DP a statement that both questions my integrity personally and also the integrity of the business I work for (who have been involved in those relationship only in terms of providing the money for the first half of your contract) In posting the statement to DP you have created a situation where well over 50 people have 'viewed' it - and the thread is both indexable by google - with previous such business threads ranking relatively well for our name. So to summarise: 1) We had a disagreement 2) I, however still offered to make payment - as clearly set out in both emails above 3) You maliciously made a range of public statements that have both damaged our business and will continue to damage our business for as long as DP exists. Asking for payment in this situation is akin to conducting professional blackmail in open view. Nice work - and an appropriate signifier of your professionalism... Dylan Over
