had high hopes but severely disappointed

Sorry, it was night here and i just woke up.

One of the benefits of your VIP upgrade, is the option to uninstall the plugin completely.

If you do not uninstall it, it takes 24 hours for all links to disappear in your website due to caching. This is useful if you want to keep the link to the plugin dashboard in your website admin.

I will take a look into lingerie websites to see if they should be catched by an erotic filter which is already in place.

I am sorry to hear you got disappointed, and hope you will give me a chance to adjust the service accordingly as this is actually one of the most powerful plugins out there.

Hi Martin,

Hope this detailed feedback is helpful for you to make your product better.

TL;DR

I respect creativity and value the efforts of “good engineers”. Backlinking has become an art in addition to science. Too many random backlinks are not good, rate at which they get added has negative impacts, type of backlinks from source websites have huge impact based on the type of those websites. At this point in time, your product isn’t worth the 360 dollars I paid for. It might get there in future, not today. Your backlinking strategy is completely encapsulted, heck only you and God knows what’s happening beneath the hood. When you sell something as “VIP”, I would expect a detailed control plane to manage configurations and detailed progress page with ability to control outcomes. Otherwise, charge me $19.95 and I will treat your product accordingly.

your plug-in not only hyperlinked a word on my article “look” to erotic websites, it did that repeatedly across my entire site and I don’t even know how many other words got negatively linked like this one. Your plug-in doesn’t offer any way for me to know which words on my site were linked to which pages and which websites having what kind of content and page ranks. I don’t mind letting your plug-in work in auto pilot as long as I have 100% visibility on what’s going on and the plug-in allows me to override any rules that may be misbehaving. To your response that Vip status allows me to uninstall the link. Well, uninstalling your plug-in did remove the external links but think about this. All good website owners constant monitor their backlinks. How many of those owners will continue linking to my website if they see that I have removed theirs? Your plug-in also added bunch of hyperlinks at bottom of my home page below the footer, I kept seeing garbage links to garbage websites in foreign language. What exactly do you think decent website visitors on my website will think when they see those links?

you have a lot to work on your plug-in. Open it up in the marketplace when it’s fully mature, stable -& well thought through. Either refund 90% of 360 back and incrementally charge once you have good offering or reimburse compete 360.

your plug-in, in its current state is dangerous.

I just refunded you 100% and closed your VIP account. You will see it in your bank account within 5 days.

Congratulations in going from Ahrefs DR0 to DR11 in only 2 days using the VIP upgrade for free.

I am sorry to hear you haven’t fully read how this works, and did not test the free version before your upgrade.

Please don’t mix the free version and the VIP version, as the VIP has no links at all. Not in content, and not in footer.

Also, please note we are talking about a link to 1 lingerie store which you describe as erotic. This is not erotic, and therefore not catched by the erotic filter. Meanwhile, i have updated the filter to catch even more, and this specific store is still not defined as erotic and being catched. It’s simply not possible without filtering news websites writing about lingeries etc.

People are allowed to have their meanings and thoughts, and i listen deeply to it all. Thank you for your thoughts too.

Using this strategy for years, and this same VIP upgrade, i have myself niche websites in top positions in both Bing and Google as well as it has helped many other users to reach great positions.

Just to put things in perspective, your website was DR0, and you were seeking help from this plugin to be even seen in Google. Sure, i would do anything to help you, even beyond this service. I really love to help.

You feel it’s too dangerous, but even though you want to keep VIP for a year for 20 bucks? And you haven’t removed your domain from your VIP account?

There are limits behind all this, and i will explain it in details how this works and why:

—
When you start a network like this with 2 websites, these won’t be an exact match. However, as it grows, good matching becomes possible since its easier to match 1 of 100 websites, than 1 of 2.

This network does not have millions of websites, and these are what is beeing matched. Website to website, not page to page. Page to page would absolutely be better, but would be way too resource heavy for both all websites and the server. Noone wants that, as well as this would require an expensive server park beyond what is economically possible for this plugin for now.

With this limit in mind, the best i can do for now is matching website to website by comparing their keywords. Some websites are not perfectly keyword optimized, which might cause matching problems.

Best matches are those with the most keywords in common. By time, this matching gets better and better, as this ensures matching in both niches and languages.

Sure, as the network grows, better methods of matching becomes possible. I have eyes on all this every day, and when things becomes possible, i can and will make things even better.

Please note these backlinks are not permanent. When you step out of the network, all backlinks created are removed due to the nature of the network. Noone gets angry because you remove their links. This is the nature of how it all works.

All backlinks renews every 24 hours and old links are discarded.

Thank you, I will await the refund. I could have posted the screenshot of the kind of backlinks I got from your plug-in, but I intentionally didn’t do it. Let each person review your plug-in for themselves. I’m looking for high quality, organically added backlinks and unfortunately your plug-in doesn’t fit the bill. Thanks for the refund, though.

Martin, just for your information, we have been doing lot of SEO activity and manual backlinking activity since we started the site. so i won’t claim that the ranking went up due to your plugin. rather, if i look at the DR of those backlinks, they will hurt more than help. If you publish a quick document and attach it with the VIP plugin, educating us how your plugin works, what kind of DR backlinks it links to our site and many other things, it will help improve the confidence. But, in the business we are in, one bad link to a bad site, is sufficient to destroy reputation of our good site. You have a good overall vision, which is why i paid for the VIP version to begin with, but please take this feedback with the right spirit. At your request, i will remove my comments from this page after the money has been reimbursed to my account and i do understand that negative feedback will hurt your sales. At same time, you should take this feedback and improve documentation and functionality so that the other users or new users of your plugin don’t face the same challenge.

@meehirr ”?At your request, i will remove my comments from this page after the money has been reimbursed to my account?” No. You cannot use the reviews here as leverage. I’m closing this topic.
