I am disappointed to read this from Aqib. I was forthcoming from the start with the problems with his website and why it will not rank well. I provided several options to move forward with this. The campaign did start late due to timing issues, this was my mistake.
The job I bid for was to be paid once the tasks were complete, which it was. Aqib wanted me to perform some more work in the future which would be paid many months down the line providing targets were reached. Although this is all very nice for him it doesn't suit SEO very well. It was not the case that I wasn't confident at reaching the targets (as you can see by my "normal" ratings everyone has been more than happy, also working as a senior SEO for many years I know what I can do), like every other SEO I can not guarantee what Google will change in their algorithm in the future. Therefore I could work for 6 months and not get paid. I was simply not willing to do this.
Sadly I have also had clients not pay me for the work I have done in the past (I'm not saying Aqib wouldn't pay me) but loosing 6 months money is too bigger risk for me.
Since informing Aqib with my decision on working with him on future campaigns communication has broken down and this rating appeared.

It is a shame it ended this way as Aqib was happy with my work that I performed (otherwise he wouldn't ask me to do more) therefore this rating should reflect this.
