No longer the reliable, good quality vendor they used to be.  Unfortunately they are now close to being a scam.  Page One Power specializes in link building - linking campaigns. They used to be reliable and do excellent work. For some unknown reason they have been reduced to "talking a big game" and providing shoddy results. If you read their articles and industry white papers they constantly repeat their mantra - relevant links from trustworthy sites. 

Here is an excerpt from their website:

"Because of that, we pursue only relevant sites for link building. Relevancy makes sense from a human perspective — if a link doesn’t make sense, we won’t pursue it. We believe in thoughtfully-curated links built by humans — effective links that won’t violate Google’s link schemes guidelines."

They also talk about transparency.  Here is another excerpt:

"Our clients have full access to their project. We customize our reporting to you — we're happy to report every link we’ve built, every outreach email we’ve sent, and every target website we’ve found."

We paid them many thousands of dollars.  There was no transparency, no relevancy, and no attempt to provide real value. We ended up getting a small, spammy list of directory links that had the potential to cause more harm than good. These are links that would have been considered good 10 years ago. Now they are toxic links. And those toxic links could be created in the space of one hour if anyone was foolish enough to want that type of linking.

This is a big shame because here is a company that once knew how to do good work. It appears the only thing they now know how to do is create marketing articles that explain the correct way to develop links. Their outward marketing message is impressive and a quick glance suggests they are a legitimate player. But those days are now gone. Now they are doing terrible work (at least for me) and charging very healthy fees for that terrible work. They are living on their past reputation of good work - which is now no longer the reality. They appear to misguidedly think they can ripoff clients forever. Eventually the party will end and all they will end up with is a shell of a once-good company.

If you are intent on getting spammy directory links that can harm your website - invest an hour of your own time and save yourself the 2-6 thousand dollars they will suck out of your pocket.  You can achieve the same level of harm to your own website by investing an hour of misguided linking work. It is too late for me. My money is already spent and unrecoverable. But I do believe the very old adage Fool me once - shame on you.  Fool me twice - shame on me.  I have learned my lesson and hope this post will save someone a lot of money.  What I don't understand is how the owners can look at themselves in the mirror. But I guess money can smooth over most things - including a tarnished image looking back at you from your own mirror.
