I have been purchasing sometimes 2-3 services a day for the past 3 months or so. Being a small business owner and having over 90 sites its a pain to sift through some of these services and "packages ". Im a one man operation for the most part for S.E.O tasks on all of the sites and some friends sites. I have tried to out source my work to multiple services here and offered exclusive deals to a few guys over the past 3 month, I still do to this day.
Instead of having to ask the same questions over and over. Why do the MODS not break down exactly what you are getting ? Or make the provider break it down in laymans terms. At least make it a point to say something like "this is spun content pointed directly at the site " Like when you buy bonded gold , if its gold bonded you have to say gold bonded clearly . Not everyone knows what gold bonded is, but a jeweler has to inform you before you purchase either way. There are a few things that I think most will agree on what is considered "risky" or blackhat . Maybe that should be informed about all services . Including what is considered a risky linking scheme or a black hat service. (spinning ,footer links stuff like that ) I know some do provide that info but why not make all ? I have noticed some negative comments on sales threads ,when if you look at what they purchased ,that was the risk involved with that service . The buyer just didnt know that because they didnt read it well or just didnt understand what they were buying . This could stop a lot of disputes.
Point Im trying to make here is maybe there should be a few things in place pointed out clearly on the sales thread for all who post . I spend 10 hours a day waiting for a reply from these sellers for the same 5 or 6 questions and still most beat around the bush or just lie . I have had senuke pointed directly at some of my site with horrible spun crap , scrapebox 5000 links all sent to index in a day , sape links with n/a page rank and payed for links in a deindexed blog network and told it will still pass juice ..true story, Only after sending reports from spy glass, ahrefs or whatever then I get reimbursed
Maybe one of the 'good' service providers here can start a thread on what to look for in a "package " and clear up what you are really getting sometimes here . Sometimes it was my fault for not reading the fine print, but my first few orders I didnt think some of these services would pass a mods inspection.
If I purchase a 5$ job I know what to expect , but when I pay 100$ and up I would think some of these services would have a quality filter in place or at least state clearly what im paying for.
