Permanently Closed Marketplace Sales Thread

[domainmadness]

As always, I post honest review. This time it will be strongly negative.

I ordered Climber package and all the links I got are truly horrible, waste of time and will actually hurt your website. This is one of the worst services I've got myself into this year. Sales copy looks great, website seems great and I only wish that the links would have been too.

I expected authority links, let's check sample links they provided.

1. PA22/TF0 - So this one would be actually almost ok, but it's almost with same background color, extremely small font and there's absolutely NO content on this page.

2. PA14/TF0 - Poor stats. Link in sidebar without any kind of formatting, next to Russian anchors and best of all the whole DOMAIN IS DE-INDEXED (Sorry for the caps but seriously came on, this is outrageous)

3. DA12/TF0 - Had to use only DA for this since don't have OSE login details, but anyway doesn't look good. There's about 10 missing images, CSS/styling completely broken and W3 Validator gives me 159 errors and 159 warnings. Didn't see the link, but found it from source. It was with really small font at the bottom right corner.

4. DA23/TF0 (Domain TF5) - Poor stats, sidebar link, looks okay since there's no other links and formatting looks decent. Website is in foreign language.

5. DA1/TF0 - Poor stats, wouldn't need to say more, but I give you screenshot of this 'authority' link. SS is from footer, my link is in the right corner - http://postimg.org/image/vaf1tr6h5/

6. DA1/TF0 - Same shit.

7. DA1/TF0 - Same shit, also broken website full of errors.

I rest my case. I'm kind of sorry to come ruin someones sales thread like this, but this is what you get when offering total garbage. Stay far away from these links. You've been warned.

Candybar, please issue a refund so I don't have to dispute Paypal. Or you gonna still claim that these have any kind of authority?

We have not received any emails, calls, Skype messages, tickets, PM's of live chat requests from you to seek any help at all.


Your order has been active for a week..


Keyword #1: #1
Keyword #2: #17 to #3
Keyword #3: #75 to #14
Keyword #4: #13 to #8 (was nowhere on Bing and Yahoo also, now #1 and #2)
Keyword #5: Nowhere to #25
Keyword #6: #29 to #21
Keyword #7: #278 to #181
Keyword #8: #1
Keyword #9: #13 to #11


There are still almost 4 weeks left until your package ends and you complain after achieving the above results?


You can contact us via:


Email
Call
Skype
Ticket
PM
Live Chat


All of which have four dedicated support staff answering questions 24/7. Instead of doing that, you come and complain with no prior contact for us to help fix your order.




All of your keywords have increased and will continue to increase over the month, great results and it's only been a small amount of time.


You failed to report the PR of the page and the domain, you just picked 7 domains of the 250 that you were given and decided to do a report on those alone without any prior contact.


We'll replace your links for free, just contact us one of methods provided and we'll be happy to help you, but demanding a refund when all of your keywords rose, you posted a negative review with only one side of the story (7 out of 250 links, data on those were not accurate, did you include the OBL/PR? Both instantly viewable in client panel) and didn't contact us at all.


We'd be happy to help you, we provide top notch support around the clock, but it's impossible to do so when you don't even attempt to seek support.


Regards,


Meashis

I don't want any help. I just left a review. I didn't pick any links, those were the sample links you provide in your system. Now I checked few other links from Majestic and it's same spammy links all over again.

About rankings.

#1 ranking, Monthly Search 0 (Brand name)
#1 ranking, Monthly Search 0 (Domain name)
#3 ranking, Monthly Search 0 (My exact title)

Also, I have other link building going on and I'm not worrying about my rankings. I'm just letting everyone know that these links are completely worthless.

I don't want any link replacements. You already showed me your network and quality and I couldn't be less interested.

Just cut the crap and issue a refund as soon as possible so I don't have to file a dispute in Paypal.

I'm so fed up with these super low quality 'SEO' services around lately.

Keywords which you added yourself, and completely ignoring the other keywords that you added. You did not contact us in any way and just posted a negative review, when signing up, you agreed that you receive your links, sample links, social signals (in progress), we can not control Google. Doing other link building? Don't see any, and the main issue here is that you ordered with the intention of receiving a refund. There are 4 weeks until your package ends, ALL of your keywords rose and you complain. Biased?


You didn't even attempt to PM, email, call, Skype mesage, ticket or make a live chat before making the review.


Of course there are going to be a few errors, but complaining (even when your rankings rose with your "other link building") with no contact at all and a biased review is not the fairest thing to do.

 

[domainmadness]

Like I said, I'm not worrying about my rankings, I'm just saying that these links are FAR from anything that you could call authority. I made a test order to see if your so called authority links would be worth anything to use in better/real projects. I don't need to contact your support to tell that your links are crap.

I know this is bit harsh and I also know that of course you would like me to contact you via PM, Skype, Ticket or whatever else than public forum, but like I said, there's nothing I need from your support. Here I'm just leaving review (as others should do more often also to keep BST quality high) and that way doing a favor for fellow members here in BHW and telling them about the quality of these links which you very well know yourself also.

I've already cancelled my order.

Just let me know if you are going to issue refund or I need to file a dispute for this BS.

I buy links every month for around $6000-$10000 and I very rarely ask for refund, like probably many members/sellers here know.

Not sure what you're trying to get at, you come straight on the thread and compain without even waiting for the order to complete. We're trying to help you resolve the "issue" you're having, but not contacting us in any way to even request a refund and just posting on the thread won't help much. Candybar can't help you at the moment since he's in the process of packing up and moving, so making a ticket, Skype request, PM, live chat, email, phone call or any contact would help us solve your issue that you're having.




All of your ranks moved up and it's been a little over a week, but if you want to refund, make a ticket and we'll work something out for you. I don't see why you're coming and complaining after your ranks improved (especailly jumps for keywords that weren't even in the top 300), the second you ordered, your sample links were visible. So coming and complaining AFTER your ranks improved..


Also, it does not matter if the website looks good, the design is irrelevant. Googlebot parses the HTML, so as long as your link and anchor is visible on the site, it counts as a link. Doesn't matter if the links are visible to website users, as long as it's present in the source, Googlebot parses it. You also moved up from nowhere for a 1 word, 22,000 monthly searches keyword in a week; nowhere to #25.




You received this instantly after ordering (as well as instant keyword tracking):

What I'm trying to get at, is good quality services in BHW. Your service is not quality, it's crappy, spammy links from dropped domains I wouldn't include in any link profile.

That is why I don't come to your Skype or live chat, because I have nothing to complain to you (other that ask for refund). What I write here is for other members in Blackhatworld, so they don't have to waste their money. What I write here hopefully helps to increase the quality of services offered, since not everyone stay quiet after getting poor quality service. When there's something negative, I'll make a negative review.

You just don't get it. I have multiple 301's pointed to this domain, I have links from my own private network (TF>30, related contextual links) and most of the anchors used didn't have any search volume. Of course those go up! Just remove the links and I'm sure those go up even more, since your links are 100% harmful.

Also, it does not matter if the website looks good, the design is irrelevant. Googlebot parses the HTML, so as long as your link and anchor is visible on the site, it counts as a link. Doesn't matter if the links are visible to website users, as long as it's present in the source, Googlebot parses it. You also moved up from nowhere for a 1 word, 22,000 monthly searches keyword in a week; nowhere to #25.

This much you know about SEO? HTML errors are factor in Google's algorithm and that should be quite common knowledge. Google also can 'see' where the link is placed, just from the source. I'm quite surprised you have so much misinformation about this and you are running a blog network...

Try to understand what you read. I'm not worrying about rankings, I'm just letting everyone know about quality of your links. My rankings are improving NOT because of your links, but because of other link building we've done which includes powerful niche private network links, SAPE through 301 redirects and old 301 redirects. Your links have nothing to do with the rankings. I see you have now removed those, so I can come back after couple of weeks and show you the rankings again.

Your problem is that you are offering POOR QUALITY SERVICE from the beginning. I've been long enough in this game to see that easily.

To be noted that at least Candybar issued me partial refund so that was handled fine.

I have no intention to remove the review. It's a review of your service, your refund doesn't change that. I didn't write it to get the refund, I wrote it to help others in BHW. If you don't want negative reviews, offer better services.

Thank you very much for outlining this as you did.. I have canceled as well! also because I didn't see any improvement of the ranking after almost 4 weeks the opposite was the case. I don't even wasted time on getting a refund since I believe it makes no sense to ask.

Okay my review so far.
I am going to be open minded about things but so far not what I was hoping from results wise after a week approx.
1 site has definitely gone up a lot from nowhere which is good although is now stuck on page 1 at the bottom and pages 2-3.
That's a good start however. As for 3 other sites I have not seen any real increases to be honest. The OP's customer service has been very helpful I will give them that.
However, it's a results based business and about my ROI which so far is 0. He has said wait another 1-2 weeks total before making a judgement on all 4 sites as some links not indexed in Google yet, social signals not started yet etc.
I will happily do so of course so hope the sites start moving. I kind of feel frustrated though so far as on the ad it said I think 90% of clients get page 1 results in a week.
Well so far only 25% of mine have improved to any significant degree, so I must be unlucky lol.

I will provide an honest feedback in around a week's time hopefully and hope to have good news on all 4 sites.

What the hell your site is down for maintenance till "mid of July"? Are we going to lose our links now? What happens now to existing subscribers and their links? I'm not able to renew subscription any more.

 

[micheal123]

Hi can we talk to Skype farooq.406
I have many requirement for casino post and link

 

[meashis]

Hello,


No, your links will still be live until the end of your billing period and you will not have to renew when your PayPal subscription is cancelled. We're adding a lot of new features that have never been seen before (more payment processors, automatic social signals such as G+1, Facebook shares, Tweets and more), link checker (checks all links ever 2 hours, replaces dead links), etc.


All support can be sent to [email protected]

If you want to drop $279 on worthless links that don't improve your rankings (and probably hinder them), then get threatened with negative SEO for inquiring about a refund, then by all means use Authority-Plus.

Oh wait, I guess you can't - they've inexplicably gone offline for the next 40 days.

 

[SEO Authority]

@Quality1 - We've never threatened anyone with negative SEO and never would, it seems like you just made an account and a post today just to ruin our reputation. You seem to join, within a few minutes make a post on our thread, go offline and never return. I'd be happy to help you, but we've never had anyone threatened with negative SEO and the fact that you joined today, made a post and never returned is hinting otherwise.


@marketinguk - Had a little discussion with you on Skype, the main reason the 3 sites aren't ranking and the single one is. Glad to have you implement that.


@John007 - please refer to the post below -- sorry for any confusion.

Authority+ is Not Closing Down​

Candybar here. I've been away for a while dealing with some personal issues, and I'd like to address a few things.

The first thing is that Authority+ is not closing down, there was a maintenance message that showed when we were fixing up a few things and it was the default one that said we'd be gone for xx days. No worries, all clients links are live, social signals are queued (if not done already) and everything is set and replied to.

I'd like to let everyone know what within the next two weeks, we have something huge coming. Even if you're not a customer of Authority+, you're going to like it. It's completely free and I look forward to sharing it with the community.

If anybody needs any assistance, feel free to make a ticket at https://authority-plus.com/contact.php and we'll get to it. The average ticket reply is 33 minutes!

Also, sending an email to contact [at] authority-plus.com will get you a reply as soon as possible, as it does forward to my personal email and I can help you from there.

All issues above have been resolved completely.

Excited to be launching something new for the community in the next two weeks.

Candybar

I didn't pay $279 for just one month....and I don't even get to use the system that was advertised when I purchased your services. I think you should at least give us a partial refund for this month. I no longer have the keyword checker and the links that I purchased will be taken down at the end of the month. This will harm my website.....
