I have been user fiverr for a while, though I have never trusted those 'seo' gigs and backlinks, they are just to spammy.

Anyhow i had a client that cancelled the SEO agreement, though they failed to notify me within the 30 day window, so I forced them to renew, took 2 weeks plus some threats of legal lawsuit to hold the contract against them. They agreed to continue for the next 12 months just to keep to the terms, and then want out.

So this was my chance to "TEST" on a site that has excellent SEO if some fiverr backlinks will actually help. I bought a gig for $5 got about 800 backlinks, within 2 weeks i had a keyword that never rank (very competitive) up to page 6, and another keyword that was on page 9 jumped to page 1, and a keyword from page 2 jumped to page 1. Now these are '2 word' keywords, competitive in nature.

Anyhow, for those in doubt about fiverr, always worth testing if you have a good gut feeling :-) Will i do it again? Sure, but only for a client i can care less about.
 
There are always good services in most spammy marketplaces too. Vice versa, in some excellent marketplaces you will find bad sellers. So it's all about the ability to pick the right ones.

Can you tell me your company name?

I want to make sure that I stay away from your company's service.

And I also would like to warn all my friends against it.

No matter how nasty your clients are, what you did was really unprofessional. After all, they paid you.

A big thumbs down from me.
 
Fiverr and links in the same sentence make me throw up.
 
I have to say, I am staggered that you come on here and reveal your methods for customer care.

A business that is paying you for doing seo to bring them rankings and customers, you're just using as a guinea pig by going to Fiverr ?

If their site tanks now due to this, I hope they come after you with a law suit for negligence and sue the ass off you.


Word of advice, NEVER, EVER START SELLING HERE ON BHW as you've just revealed how you treat your clients.

I hear you loud and clear, and agree with you. Though you don't know how the cancellation from their end went down, it was not professional, nor was it appropriate. They even took out legal threats. I have no mercy on them. There is a saying I go by, "Those who come to kill you, kill them first..." :-)

Could you name me a few excellent market places please? Would be interesting.
