[29-10-2012 AM 08:18:12] Instagram Guru: dude you there?[29-10-2012 AM 08:18:47] Instagram Guru: get back to me asap!
[29-10-2012 AM 08:30:43] Brandon: Hey how are you doing?
[29-10-2012 AM 08:31:20] Instagram Guru: yeah 'm fine.
[29-10-2012 AM 08:31:28] Instagram Guru: btw, i got a job for you.
[29-10-2012 AM 08:31:38] Brandon: Sure, what do you need done?
[29-10-2012 AM 08:31:42] Instagram Guru: keyword is "xxxxx xxxxx xxxxxx"
[29-10-2012 AM 08:31:49 | Edited AM 08:31:52] Instagram Guru: currently site is ranking #6
[29-10-2012 AM 08:32:04] Brandon: Okay, you own the site that is currently ranking?

[29-10-2012 AM 08:32:30] Brandon: Okay, give me a few minutes to do some research.
[29-10-2012 AM 08:32:38] Instagram Guru: alright
[29-10-2012 AM 08:39:04] Brandon: I can get you within the top three results within 2 weeks, it's going to be $189 and I'll provide a full report.  I analyzed some of the link profiles for your competitors and it will only take about 14 days and this is also a Low Competition keyword so it won't be too difficult for me to rank this.
[29-10-2012 AM 08:39:44] Instagram Guru: and my mail URL will be on or the same as inner page?
[29-10-2012 AM 08:40:34] Brandon: What do you mean my mail URL?

[PM 02:28:08] Instagram Guru: [06 November 2012 AM 02:30] Brandon: 


<<< I haven't disappeared, I'm waiting to hear back from one of the SEO contractors I work with.
I got in touch with him I'm just waiting to get a response.this was your last response
[PM 02:30:53 | Edited PM 02:31:11] Brandon: Yes and will hear from him tomorrow and will begin to work on this manually myself as well.  As stated above, I was out of town helping a family member that was effected by the storm we had and returned home today and didn't always have access to a computer, I was doing everything on my phone and even Skype but have returned now and will meet the rankings that were given to you.
[PM 02:31:45] Instagram Guru: NOW ALL I NEED FROM YOU IS, ACCEPT THE PAYPAL DISPUTE.
[PM 02:32:13] Instagram Guru: i have big loss in business, not only the ranking but my orders and time as well
[PM 02:37:46] Instagram Guru: ??
[PM 02:37:52] Instagram Guru: i want your response
[PM 02:38:00] Instagram Guru: don't act like a scammer
[PM 02:40:37] Brandon: I'm not ignoring you or acting like a scammer by any means, there wasn't a question. I stated above that I'm still working on the site to meet the rankings and if there's been a slight drop, then this is normal and will pick back up once additional links are built and indexed.
[PM 02:41:16] Instagram Guru: you didn't did anything as promised.
[PM 02:41:25] Instagram Guru: your deadline is over.
[PM 02:41:42] Instagram Guru: now you have to send my money back as per out term.
[PM 02:42:00 | Edited PM 02:42:06] Instagram Guru: i really don't want to hear anything beyond that
[PM 02:42:03] Brandon: Also, just so you know, if for some reason I'm not on Skype, you can also reach me through email at [email protected] so if you have any questions or need help with anything I'm almost always available.
[PM 02:42:27] Instagram Guru: succa waste of time and money
[PM 02:45:07 | Edited PM 02:45:54] Brandon: I don't see how you could say that, I stated previously that I was out of town helping a family member and hired a SEO contractor to pick up some of my work while I was away and he obviously didn't do all of what was supposed to be done.  I've started my day very early today (3:45 AM) in the morning to catch up on clients sites to pick up where the SEO contractor left off and so I can begin to work on getting the rankings up.  I have many clients that I work with and since I'm home now, I'll have the time to dedicate to your site to rank it.
