I have hired an seo guy and avail his backlinks package where it'll will give my website more backlinks from high PR websites.

After a week, some of it got deleted. I know it's up to the agreement of both parties if how will they handle it but I wonder if there's any standard rule when it comes to this kind of issue?

Are there any seo guys/backlinks seller here who can share their rule when it comes to this?

TIA

    That is the risk of buying low quality links. Many are not going to last.

    If their links can't last, neither should their job as your SEO.

    First of all high PR websites don't exist.

    Did they stipulate how long the links would be up there for? Did you ask?

    If the answer is no to both, then I'm not sure what your argument is. SEO is an ongoing process, not a quick hit. If I only paid an SEO guy for a month, I would expect the effects of what he's doing to only last a month. Just like if I stopped paying my satellite TV bill, I would expect not to continue to get those channels.

    A week sounds pretty quick, but it depends on the source of the links. I could get you on page one of Yahoo news, but it wouldn't last more than a day... all depends on what kind of links you were paying for. It sounds like you need to just follow up with him and ask what happened.

    Chances are, he put up the backlinks very quickly and then submitted the link report for your inspection in hopes of getting paid before the backlinks were taken down by site owners as spam. What you should do next time is insist on a two week (or longer) waiting period from the time he turns in the link report to the time you will pay. That will give you time to check all the backlinks and see which ones are on quality sites. And, then only pay for links that stay up after that time, not ones that were placed and then deleted.

      I know you probably think that its great advice but its actually a huge problem. Theres no way any good SEO or even linkbuilder is going to put up quality links for you before payment. He will put up trash because his automated tools can put them there without much work so he won't be too upset if you end up not paying.

      This is all about trash links. If they come from a quality network they would be fools to give link reports to a new customer (sorry but ESPECIALLY ones that come from WF). Same thin if theey negotiated or guest blogged for links for you oening up thoise webmasters to spam. He/she will be just exposing their link resources and every other person here is looking to reverse engineer things.

      The whole link package thing is junking up SEO for both sides and link buyers demanding link reports is just as bad for the SEOs. I had a customer from here signed up around Christmas cancelled ten days ago because he didn't see any links in webmaster tools. I am debating letting him know we just got him number one for one of his keywords and almost all the rest are about to hit page 1 but you know what? I probably won't.

      Link package buyers are the worse. they go bouncing from provider to provider looking for the magic pill to rank in weeks for the cheapest price. Sooner or later their sites have so much crap they tank and blame the last guy they used and then they submit a link removal report and expose everyones link resources good and bad.

      SEos should say no to link reports. If a ranking in the serps is what you want then ranking in the serps on an agreed to time frame should be good enough. should be a goo enough report. If you use webmaswter tools a good enough amount of the links will show to know the quality and not every single link left.

    You're doing something that's directly against Google's TOS, and gets only discussed in private for the fear that Google is listening and busting asses for it. Does it seem like business that would have standard and generally agreed upon rules and procedures?

    Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
    Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

    What's your excuse?

    That's an oxymoron....he's either a link broker or an SEO guy.

    When will people start separating the two?

    I hired an electrician and availed myself to his house painting package...

    If you were disappointed in your results today, lower your standards tomorrow.
