OMG this service has taken us down from Page1 rankings and continuing to drop, this is not a safe service at all! Your excuse used is the penguin 2.0 update yet you promised it was penguin safe. I also would like my money back. What the hell are you doing Candybar your messing with people's livelihood here?

Can you stop what your doing to my site as well. I have asked you many times now!

This is your current rankings:

Some sites have gone up, and some sites have gone down. All sites are different.

I see you have gone down 3 spots - You're not doing bad at all, you're still looking strong with our service.

To Address ThunderC & Agag2 -
Will process refunds immediately, since no order details were received (for Agag2) and since work could not
be started for ThunderC's site it was an adult site.


Please note, all sites are different! Some do well some may do worse after google's updates! Your site may
not be doing worse, there may be 3 other sites that are simply just doing better and hence you will move a little down in the rankings!

Same here. I am trying to contact him via email but he's not replying my mails since last couple of days.

Dear OP, kindly reply my emails as soon as possible to fix my issue. By the way, No work is done on my site as well yet.

Work has already been started on your site actually - let's talk through PM? I haven't placed serpbook tracking on it yet though,
so I cannot show you any results..



Some of the clients we're working on are looking stronger with an increase in ranking for competitive keywords:

Other clients are still moving up the SERPS claiming first page position:

One of my website has dropped in rankings since order the service. Any explanation to this?

 

[concrete]

Kinda figured it was too good to be true. I was going to buy a bunch of packages for my sites but I'm scared to now. Explanation wasn't thorough enough to make me comfortable.

I'm going to stay tuned for further updates from people who said they dropped. Not trying to poop on your thread but this page scared me.

how big was the drop?

 

[kide7uk]

All 3 of my keywords were not ranked.
Went to position 280 or so after 2 weeks then dropoed to unranked again after the penguin update.

After reading negative reviews I started to think that this service was a scam.

But today that same keyword is now ranking on google position 62 which is a great big leap.

However my other 2 keywords are still unranked.

 

[ThunderC]

so no work was done, yet, you sent an email saying:

"Your order has been started as of 3 days
ago (Friday) and I'm sending out confirmation emails now."



and a few days ago, replied in this thread saying "adult sites takes longer".



and you did confirm in your other posts in this thread that you are doing this type of service for adult sites. so saying that the work hasn't been done because it's an adult site is irreverent excuse.



so you had my money for 3 weeks, and nothing was done, even tough you said that it's been started.


I expect, an apology for lying, and a full refund in 24 hours.

 

[agag2]

I have precisly the same compliant! Said my order was started when I never gave him the URL..

 

[ksy213]

how big was the drop?

Several pages down. Some are not even in top 100

@ThunderC - refund will be granted as well since work was not started - message me your paypal address

All 3 sites dropped several pages and some keywords are no where to be found, the drop in traffic is really bad...We requested a removal of all links to our sites, Candybar said that all links will be removed by tomorrow!

 

[Blaatje]

Ordered 5 days ago, a 3-for-2 package. Communication was good and clear. Got confirmation of order and start of the order the next day. Even though its been a few days, on one site, that was stuck for a long time in the same (160+) ranks, I noticed movement to 41 already. Other 2 websites no noticable movement as of yet. Will keep ya'll posted

Although dancing, all sites moved up so far. I'm looking forward to the onpage advice Candybar will give, as emailed. Or any other advice he might have. In short: this service is working for me.

 

[PlinkPlinkFizz]

Service is working great for me too.

This is the only service being used on a site which is now getting around 200 uniques daily. Not trying to upset anyone here but it's possible that the Penguin update is being overlooked as the real cause of ranking drops - the work on my site was started in the first week of this month and I've seen no penalty at all.

But today that same keyword is now ranking on google position 62 which is a great big leap.

However my other 2 keywords are still unranked.

Update to my review.
My keyword that was ranked 62 is now unranked. I will keep you all posted on any more changes.

The weekend came and went I never got any explanation to what's going on, even though candybar promised to get back to me via PM. I will be contacting my credit card and place a complaint if you don't give me a full refund. You lied about your service being safe and yet it isn't, my site is completely ruined and it has nothing to do with Penguin 2.0. I will also leave an itrader review because people need to be made aware that this service will ruin their websites.

 

[parmenti]

I'm not having a good experience currently either.. I will update this post if things change but communication has been terrible. I ordered the 3 site package. Communication was great until I submitted my details.. now I keep getting the same email from him over and over again.. in the email he asks me questions.. I have replied to each and every email.. but a few days later I get the duplicate email again.. I have additionally tried to contact him on skype and have submitted the answers to the questions there.. but again.. I get no response.. I see no evidence that any work has been started even though he states in the email that work began 5/10 (17 days ago now). I have seen no significant changes in any of the 3 websites that I submitted to him. Are you there?? HELLO?? Please respond somewhere...

how is your site considered ruined when your site has moved up after using my service?

Links takes time to crawl. Your order was only started the 17th of May and it's currently May 27th.

You can't expect results to happen within a week

It's normal if your site is doing a google dance, it takes time for your site to fully index all links being built

Parmenti, Your site has been doing well - but it needs time for links to be fully indexed

Your first two keywords are top 3.
Your sites have been doing well and moving up the rankings, with your 3rd keyword now at #55 for google.com, and already showing movement of #1 for
bing and #31 for yahoo.

Second site:

Since using our service, your site has always been moving up, and top 50 for two keywords and at #15 for your first keyword

And you are top 5 on Bing and Yahoo for all three keywords, indicating your google keywords will be rising too once all links are indexed!

 

[snyder7]

Hi Candybar,

I don't know what keywords you are tracking but my site is not ranking 20 and wasn't ranking 42 when you started the service. Plus, I paid for your service on May 6th and you sent me an email on May 10 saying that work had started. So there's discrepancies here.

I've seen your PM and I think it's best to address this privately.

 

[mgold]

Please stop what you are doing, it's actually down to position 17. Day after I placed the order before you started work site went from 11th to 10th on to page 1, since you started it's gone to 17th. Although they maybe be good for others your links aren't any good for us so please stop.

Last update:

I discussed the situation with Candybar privately and we settled amicably. My site remains ruined and with the rankings lost but at least Candybar responded accordingly and in a fair manner. For those who have reported good results, consider yourselves lucky!
