USE IF YOU WANT TO BE BANNED FROM GOOGLE
I have used this service for 2 months (2nd month was auto-renew, so be careful of your Paypal subscription if that wasn't your intention). I have used many SEO services before on this forum and from the others, and have always yielded successful results. Never once have I subscribed to more than 1 service at a time - I usually change my service providers once every 3 months, so as not to be seen as "spammy". I have also never given a negative review, and I believe that everyone's just here to make a living. However, after using Candybar's services, I must say I was extremely disappointed.
When I subscribed, I had to post again in this thread to remind the service provider of my payment. He then proceeded to do work and I saw a slight improvement on my SERP. Into the second month, after the second Paypal payment was automatically charged, I don't see any positive results in SERP.
Today, I received an email from Google:
Google has detected a pattern of artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site. Buying links or participating in link schemes in order to manipulate PageRank are violations of Google's Webmaster Guidelines.
As a result, Google has applied a manual spam action to yourDOMAIN. There may be other actions on your site or parts of your site.
This wasn't my first time using a link building service, but certainly the first time I have received a ban from Google. I checked my SERP results using Market Samurai, and see that every single keyword that I used to rank <10 in , have now dropped to >50 rank in SERP results.
I am running an offline business, and this SERP rank drop has adversely affected my business. I'm posting it here to give a warning to all the potential buyers of this service. Be careful who you engage.
To the seller, do you have a solution to this problem?
Wow! I only ordered on the 28th Jan. Candybar sent me a pm to inform me work had started. I was not ranked, only indexed.
Now im #19

Looks like i jumped the gun a bit here. I did some of my own linkbuilding beforehand and it seems this is what ranked it this high. I did this my own linkbuilding on 3 other sites with and had similar results. Tried to contact the OP on skype since he put up his username, but after 4 days, he has yet to accept my contact request. A bit dissapointing. I have built links after i started this service and they are indexed on Ahrefs. None from this service are yet indexed? I know this is a business, and they will probably drag oout alot of the links to get you to pay the 2nd month on the subscription, but i thought at least a few would be indexed by now. If i have no contact with the OP within the next couple of days, i will be canceling my subscription.
