    Paid for a header link, got moved to very bottom right of website, what can I do?

    Hey,

    I paid $400 to be placed in the header of a website that advertised here on GFY, I was getting pretty good traffic but then it suddenly plummeted, when I checked the site my link had moved from the header to way below the fold at the bottom right of the website.

    It's not big money but it was to me and I'm pissed about it.

    I have emailed the owner twice but now they're not replying. Any advise on what to do would be appreciated (I know I'm not the only one this has happened to on the same site).

    Thanks!

          How long was your contract for and how long did he leave it up? If you paid by credit card you can always charge back and you can complain to PayPal if you paid via PayPal

              Chargeback probably not an option. I paid for the link back in August 2019, contract is for a year. For a few months I was getting 1k+ hits a day, then dropped to next to nothing for a month, then back up.

              I was in contact with the website owner and it was sorted out temporarily. But in the last few weeks my link has been moved like I said and the traffic has dropped to pretty much zero again.

              Do I just have to bite the bullet and move on? :|

              Thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

                              This was the deal I paid for.

                              Header Nav Link: $400/year

                              And this is how the traffic has been acting from the site.

                                              You have to watch out for people who charge for yearly links. Smart asshats will let it go a few months until the chargeback window closes then move/pull your link. Always pay monthly. If the owner says no it's a red flag.

                                                  It is safer to pay monthly. Can you call him out?

But even if you can squeeze out 2+ yrs, sometimes they honour the life of site , if long long time , i still find perm/lifetime being better deals.

                                                                                              Example, Slick before offered like $300/yr deals, or $500 perm, choose perm i got like 5-6 years outta them before sites expired
