Could you be more detailed? How long did it take from you to go from page 16 to page 1? Also, did you see your rankings decline temporarily before reversing direction and reaching the top? I ask because I placed an order as well and I am currently experiencing the opposite of what you are and am hoping that it is only temporary. Thanks.

With all the BS going around in the BST section I don't blame you for not believing. Heck, even I would be skeptical.
Let me shed some light on the project (without disclosing the website details)
He made the order: 2012-03-27
As far as I can remember it was a standard panda KO package with three main keywords (I don't see any notes). Even back then we were the first ones that implemented the LSI + generic keywords with every order. He also got them with his order. About 100 related + 10-20 generic.
His website is made specifically for the UK market and he hit the #1 in google.co.uk
The keyword that hit the first spot:
Competition
Broad: About 16,000,000 results
Exact: About 14, 000,000 results
InTitle broad: About 8,000,000 results
InTitle exact: About 1,800,000 results
Traffic (local):
Broad: 40k. CPC $2
Exact: 5k, CPC $4
I rounded the numbers do I don't disclose too much.
About your project. The initial dip in rankings is quite normal. A lot of people have experienced them, but there comeback was stronger than ever if they took care of their part of their work. The paragraph below doesn't directly imply you.
Let me clear some things out regarding this service and SEO services in general
There a lot of factors that come in to place (and after the penguin some things just don't make sense) when you try to rank a website. I'll try to name a few that are most important in a random order:
How good is your content?
Do you update it regularly?
Did you over optimize it?
How's your onsite linking structure?
How old is your domain?
Do you have any social signals (facebook, google plus, twitter)?
Link Building:
Any shady link building in the past?
Link velocity
Anchor diversification
Link type diversification
PR diversification
Competition - a negative seo could possibly become a new trend
and at least 20 more factors that the majority of the services can't control
Those are some of the things you have to have in mind when you buying a SEO service. I don't want to give people a wrong impression or false hopes. THIS ISN'T A MAGIC BULLET. Even with our link building you clearly have to do some things by yourself if you want to get the maximum out of it.
When it comes to link building, WE do OUR F* BEST to keep you on the safe side and we are using methods that we KNOW that are working and that we tested in detail. That helped us (and our customers) to avoid the panda bitchslap and the newest Penguin update.
