The invoice is actually issued in advance - so this months payment is for link dev work over May.

But what's really frustrating is that I wanted to apply a few new strategies, especially paid blog posting, to help push some of their major keywords from Top 5 to No.1.

However, I can't really do anything unless they're paying their bills...

I'd rather not lose a client, and I'd rather avoid legal entanglements.

I thought I was delivering a pretty cheap service - doubt they'd get the same service without twice the cost elsewhere (we're talking major link work - 10's thousands via multiple off-site strategies). But if the client proves a problem, it may be worth offering the service elsewhere, or else making clear I'll up the price if they want to suspend the campaign and restart.
