Spends 200$ on seller - then seller is gone

[nikolaj_mac]

Hello,

I earlier this year in January, I bought 2 gigs from a seller. I spend 161$ total. Seller has a promising argument: We promise 80 in DR on Ahrefs. If the DR drops, we provide lifetime guarantee to keep your site at 80.

Maybe too good to be true?

However, when my DR starts to drop below 75 I try and reach out to seller. Seller closed his/her account.

Now I am back to where I was before I spend these 161$.

Should I just accept the circumstance that from time to time you will loose money on Fiverr?

Input appreciated.

Buying SEO services on Fiverr, especially those involving paid links, isn't the wisest move. Google can detect link spam, and while some links or other black hat techniques might give you a temporary boost, they never provide long-term high rankings. In the worst cases, you could even get blacklisted in the search results.

And yes, it is too good to be true: why would anyone work for free forever? That’s usually a promise from scammers.

With that said, such sellers shouldn't even be on Fiverr.

But if you want to invest in SEO, go for quality content from professional copywriters. Expect to pay much more than $161, but in return, you'll get truly valuable content that's well-written and won’t get you penalized in search results.

Plus, there's no such thing as a lifetime guarantee on Fiverr. Once an order is complete, that's it.

Instead of wasting money on dishonest sellers who offer lifetime revisions and "incredible" results for practically nothing ($161 is nothing when it comes to SEO), invest wisely in quality content.

I don't think seller closed it, but actually banned by Fiverr

I would suggest going with old experienced seller
