is it normal to lose ranking initially..? My rank just nosedived from #14 to #60 immediately after the submission of the social media portion of the hoth..
If you are thinking about buying a HOTH package:
Ignore all the negative crap above; shit happens, and it looks like it's been taken care of.
I placed a 1 Hoth order for a site already on the first page in a somewhat competitive area, and moved from ~ 7 to ~5 in about 2 weeks. Solid, and for $60 fantastic.
Buy HOTH, I just ordered another now.
So, I jut signed up for a bulk purchase...
3 sites, close to 50 urls and a couple of hundred keys.
My exectations are pretty high!! I'll keep y'all posted
Alex has been great to work with, very responsive and helpful.
I found the package configuration/pricing to be a bit confusing. Maybe it's just me...
Fucking love this graph - well done guys! Just thought I'd throw in a little update...ordered few hoths back in Sept for 3 urls - work was done long ago, and sites continue to stand in tops spots for their keywords....and I've done NOTHING to optimize. This is a greeaaat long term solution.
You ordered a 1 HOTH, which creates a total of ~7 links to your site from the authority module (up to 100s from the volume module).
With that said, there's no way your site got "slapped" for 7 links.
That's just the google dance. No worries. You'll be back soon.
In theory is this a good service?
Hell yes it is. They go over it, link volume and link authority. Tons of 2.0s pointing towards your top tier, which obviously has authority.
What about in reality? Is the hoth a good service?
Fuck no. Their inability to spin correctly, inability to check their work, and inability to give a shit about the outcome of the articles makes for a piece of shit service, eactly what this is, as proven with my report. EVERY single article is spun, and it is SO obvious it is generated automatically. Your 5 unique articles they write are never even used. Blogger and Wordpress content is even SHIT. You'd think they'd at least want that content to look good, right? The content is shit, the article titles are shit, the spinning is shit, and careless mistakes is bullshit.
bad content = sites being removed = no link volume + no authority = waste of money
UPDATE: We are working diligently with Pr0xyhub to get issues with his order resolved.
I am happy to say that the tone of the interaction, from both sides,
has been nothing short of 100% respectful, cooperative and professional.
As he said in his initial post he was "pissed," but working with him thus far
has been a breeze. No animosity. Thanks Justin.
If he doesn't post an update in a day or 2, I'll fill you guys in.
Otherwise, I'll treat it as a private matter.
PLEASE NOTE: Out of 390 orders in 3.5 months, this is only the 4th public complaint.
With a 99% satisfaction rate, it seems we are doing something right
(FYI - Of the 3 prior complaints, 2 were promptly resolved, and posters retracted their statements.
Only 1 was completely uncooperative, so there was nothing we could do.)
@ontheway up - Not only is your thread crashing disrespectful, not-constructive, and totally self serving,
but its also against the forum rules and eligible for banning. You should be hearing from the mods soon.
The service does show results in the SERPS, no question, and it's well put together.
