Credit where credit is due and my review on here is a long time overdue. Just wanted to see if my results would stick. Which they have! Ok, here's the deal:
I do a major load of finance leads for the UK loans/debt and remortgage markets. Some of the terms I tackle are on aged sites and are super competitive. I'm talking 2-word keywords that get 1,000's of Exact match searches each month.
On the 1st december Grindstone's team finished the Layerd Links on a Platinum package and pushed my term from Position 7 on Page 1 to Position 4, where it's sitting pretty. In P7 I was making no money and in P4 I'm making money.
Stats on the term:
About 14,000,000 results
In quotes: "keyword" : 1,000,000+ results
Intitle: Intitle:"keyword" : 39,000 results
Intitle/Inanchor: Intitle:"keyword" Inanchor:"keyword": 31,000 results
So I'm as happy as a pig in sh!t with his service and he is finishing off (hopefully soon Grindstone!) another Platinum on another 2-word keyword for the UK loans market. This is one of the most competitive terms in the UK loans market so I'm hoping for a nice jump so I can build it up eventually to the top 5. So far I'ved used 3-4 services on WF & BF, paying top dollar for each one. Grindstones and 1 other service are the 'only' ones that have done anything useful to my SERPs for these ultra competitive terms. So, if the new stuff is even better then more orders on the way, especially as I'm making money as a result of dealing with guys that 'really' know their stuff!
