I've seen Fiverr - Hire people to do things for $5 mentioned before, and there seems to be a lot of people there offering Twitter/Facebook campaigns and SEO backlinking. Has anyone ever used any services off this site? What were your experiences? $5 seems a little low for what some of them are offering.

A little self promotion: I made some blog post on my experience with fiverr WildFactor
I never tested all seo facebook/twiter thing yet.
Overall you get most of the time more than your 5$ in value (if you choose gig with positive review).
For everything on writing/proofreading/story I've got only pleasant experience.
306 designs is now offering services on fiverr.com. Those of you who've seen my posts on here know that I am an active developer who is constantly trying to network and get my brand out there. I'm offering twitter support, a game recommendation on a site that gets about 25-40 unique visitors daily and growing, plus support in your threads on any forums where you've advertised the game (I have accounts on all the big sites like macrumors, toucharcade, etc with posts on each). I'd like the work with developers for a month at a time to team up with their marketing. Also, I will buy your app, giving you $1 back instantly.
Check it out. I believe I'm easily offering service that would cost way more than $5 elsewhere. It would be less risky then trying to buy from a seller who's background you don't know.
One of our client tried some other gig (not this one) that promised to tweet the URL of iphone app to over 120k followers.
The URL was pointing to developer's website via bit.ly. It turned out that only 2 clicks were made on the link being tweeted.
So it seems most of fiverr gigs that relate to twitter are useless (all followers are bots).
I've bought fiverr tweet gigs where i got just a few clicks as you describe, but the one i posted is the real deal. Here are my results from just one tweet I bought through the gig:
App downloads went from 5 the previous day to 40 on January 11th. Well worth $5 for me! Here is the twitter account that publishes the tweet https://twitter.com/#!/apple_app_store
i thought i'd give it a try so a day or 2 ago i ordered 2 of them:
1. Tweeting about my app to lots of followers
2. Logo design
i'll post back when they are fulfilled/with my results
so my gigs came through a couple days ago:
1 was "tweet your message to 88 000+ targeted and responsive followers on Twitter for $5 on fiverr.com" (the one mentioned already by someone else) and I received just 21 clicks
The 2nd was a logo design and what i received was some very poor logos that anyone could have made
all in all neither worth the 5 dollars in my opinion
Fiverr is a cool site, but honestly what do you expect when you pay only $5.
I auctioned 2 fiverrs, one was for desiging app logo which came out ****, and another was to write 500 words of content which came out to be a simple copy paste of some website disregarding anything i asked for...
it's cool, but it doesn't replace items you need for your business.
I've helped two separate developers through fiverr so far. The first made back close to the five dollar investment in the first day directly in sales. The developer hasn't gotten back to me yet about the days since, but anything else would be considered profit (his downloads at 0 before buying the marketing). The second was some marketing for a free app (ad supported) so its hard to judge success from that, but the developer was more than pleased from the extra hits/downloads.
Ultimately it all depends on who the audience is. A person with 80,000 followers but 70,000 non-active people, and another 9,950 who have no interest in apps would be worse than someone with 175 followers, mostly all iphone enthusiasts.
I agree that Fiverr has both scam and valid service providers and you have to be careful as you're picking up the right one for your app promotion. I would check profiles of people who've left thumbs up for a particular service provider to see if there are any interconnection between them.
Anyone have any experience of fiverr.com?
