Two months over, now into the third month. Still waiting to see some results.
 
Supa Monkey you liked Costajm posts... It was a negative posts.. In the past you stated you had very great results and you even bought 3+ packages of his. Would you clarify this? What was your experience?

Sorry about that, might have been misleading - I liked it because I like anyone who I believe gives honest and unbiased reviews on this forum. I cant say I have had the same experience as him as my own experience has been positive. I still have several (5) projects going with veheme and am still seeing positive results.
Lost a bit of rankings with Googles recent update, but have just about recovered all those lost rankings and am back on track.

I'll be the first one to post here should something go horribly wrong; but I've been with veheme sinec November last year for 3 of the previously mentioned projects and don't see that ever happening as I trust him!

The only magic veheme hasnt managed to pull off was to unpenalise my penalised domains - but even on those I believe he did positive work on them. Given more time, I wouldnt be suprised if he would be able to pull them out of the sandbox of death - but for now, Im happy with the results hes getting me on my untarnished domains :)
 
Two months my site was under so-called "Defensive SEO" program. What I've got? Rankings dropped 2-3 pages down for all my money paid. From what I understood, it's nothing different from most of services sold here but without provided reports. In one chat I was warned by one the forum members to avoid services without reports, now I learned the lesson. I cancelled my subscription, can't waste time another month without any movement to be eligible to get refund.

I already hinted BEFORE the campaign started that the site's backlink profile is OVER optimized for one keyphrase. I explained to you that aside from the on-site issues that the site has, the BL profile is also filled with very low quality links. During the Google refresh, those links were wiped out which resulted in a huge flunk in the number of links which also jumbled around the keyword ratio as well.

I am coming to the end of my 2nd month on the premium package ($654 spent so far) & am extremely doubtful I will continue.

I am seeing some links, but the expected diversity is not there (they all appear to be low quality & there are no gov/edu links, very few naked urls). I didn't receive any site breakdown or strategy as per the "live sample" example and there is no regular ranking reports - I realise I can email & request one, but that's not the point; the point is there is zero reassurance...unless you are tracking yourself & one of the lucky ones seeing positive movement.

The bottom line is that 2 months have passed, +$650 gone & the return is not good enough.

Minor movements I have seen are probably from a (different) high quality service ordered in December which was delivered late. Looking at the refund guarantee I'm reluctant to pay out another $327 - my package covers up to 12 KWs per url...and 10 URLS + homepage - from 132 KW I'm sure there will be some positive movement....but likely not $960 worth. And I do not want an argument over a refund.

My thoughts are that a $60 seomaximus account would accomplish the same thing...maybe more :( I really wish I was reporting about how great this service has been, but so far I feel like I've completely wasted $650 and two months of time. If things happen to change over the next couple of weeks I will report back here & update my review.

We had a minor setback for a good percentage of clients with old backlink profile. During the recent Google refresh, Google managed to discredit the old links that were pointing because it sees them as outdated/expired/dropped which calls for a solid flunk in rankings. I've managed to look at their backlink profile and most of the lost links are links from old web directories, old social bookmarking sites, old article directories and old private blogs.

If you take a look at your rankings, 2/3 saw an increase while 1/3 saw a decrease and those 1/3 being decreased are those which are on the inner pages which have lost the links during the refresh. Given how big you campaign is (more than 5 pages and I believe more or less 100 keywords), I'm having a hard time maintaining ALL those keywords up especially with how the G refresh handled your site.

I'm just coming up to end of 3rd month. I was looking for veheme on skype and then read his message just now. I can't say yet until I get a report from him but it seems some keywords are gaining pretty decent traction in SERPs. But I don't see some of the most important keywords that I was targeting. So still up in the air until veheme gets back safely from the hospital.

Hi, PMd you the updates in Skype.

Hmmm...I'm not entirely negative of my results but I'm not positive either. Can other people chime in who has had this service for 3+ months?

I'm not sure what you mean by "not entirely negative". Do you mean you're getting slightly negative results?

This is what I see on my end: http://prntscr.com/swcf5

I haven't noticed any setback....I also haven't noticed any significant movement. However I have not been provided with any recent ranking reports ( I requested last week, however I realised you were busy at the time).

Regarding pages & KWs - I only provided the pages/KWs according to what was requested for my package.

I really, really wish I was reporting positive feedback however I can only report on what I have experienced & so far it looks like $650 and 2 months wasted. I would continue for the 3rd month if I though I'd get my refund...very disappointed, but I cannot risk another month of non-movement and another $327.

It always doesn't look good when you blame someone else in your own sins. The biggest loss of backlinks started right after your service began on the 10th of December when you started building my BL profile in your own way. I cancelled your service on the 10th of February, you stopped it and since then no flunk of backlinks. Your crappy links didn't stick, I was loosing more than you added
As for on-page SEO: you just position yourself as SEO guru, when you are not for sure (or you outsourced it to somebody else, you said you didn't because you have your own company). Before taking any site on you do an analysis, right? You advised me to keep only one H1 tag, make changes in title meta tag and add some content, that's all.
I followed your instructions and it didn't help at all! A few days ago after cancellation of your service( I honestly did not buy any service since it was one of your conditions and I wasted time and money) one of the forum members had a look at my site and found serous issues that you missed. I fixed them and for some kws I see movement 10-15 positions up, one of them is #5 now and this is just after properly done on-page SEO. This lack of quality always happens with ANY business when business provider takes more than he can handle.
One more thing: we all are human beings, we can be sick, we can have family issues etc. But you are in the business, you're getting paid for it, if you can't deliver what you promised, please don't try to find excuses referring to "Storm Pablo, your and your family members health problems. It's understandable but not acceptable. Who cares, everybody has his own problems, nothing personal, just business.

I was recommended by a friend that you provide good results. I am about sign up a package but I just want to have some assurance that you are responsive. Can you pm me to further discuss?

Same here. I guess he's so busy working on new stuff he's happy to be losing his existing clients. Churn and burn I suppose instead of long term income.

What tracker are you using to track 'em? Here is the summary of your movements in the past week:

SEE: http://prntscr.com/uk08f

Could you work an german sites for rankings on google.de?

At the moment, no. We will focus on REAL BUSINESSES in US for now (when registrations open again and when the new service is launched).

I'm guessing you have no response for this or would prefer not to respond :(

Hi, you have canceled your subscription with us a week ago and I wish you had PM'd or Skype'd me sooner than when you have stopped the subscription because I already have removed your SERP tracking reports since you're no longer a recurring client. I truly remember when I looked at it that at least 1/3 of the keywords (numbering 100+) saw an average increase of 30 spots ea.

I'm using microsite masters, ok with that? Are you tracking .co.uk version of g as that's what this job is.

My current positions show only 4 in the top 100, three of them very low positions and I'm not getting any traffic. I know these kw are possible because I have another site ranking for them. So I've invested $651 for three months so far with poor results. Would like to cancel for refund, what do you say?

kw1 880 34 1 n/a 0 n/a 0
kw2 18100 76 -7 n/a 0 n/a 0
