LocalAdLink ? Is this unknown search directory worth advertising on? because it is easily confirmed that LocalAdLink's claim of "millions of visitors a day" is fraudulent. Even
LocalAdLink's own press release stated that its visitor traffic for March 2009 was only 500,000.
I felt an obligation to warn people that this service would not deliver the traffic it claims, making it expensive with little return. Most know how marketing on the Web is important, but few understand how it works. This makes too many business owners gullible to sales reps promising results, especially if the reps are their friend, family or search marketer.
LocalAdLink's MLM get rich scheme energized greed in tens of thousands of people. Even search marketers who should have analyzed LocalAdLink traffic and seen that the claims are malarkey pushed this product.
I really question the competency of search marketers who offer LocalAdLink. Either they do not understand how search engines operate, or they are greedy. Either way their clients who bought LocalAdLink should fire their search marketer.
To search marketers pushing LocalAdLink, why are you selling this? Why do you think LocalAdLink is ethical search engine marketing? If you claim it is generating traffic, please provide data.

Don't say I cannot reproduce LocalAdLink ads because it uses geo-targeting. Google provides a tool to help you see geo-targeted ads. The tool is at

It appears LocalAdLink ads are currently not appearing on any third party sites. Such as I cannot find LocalAdLink ads that I saw in May.
Apparently Robert McNulty, CEO of Beyond Commerce, admitted as much in a company-wide conference call last week. According to someone who sat in on the call "He actually admitted they have had problems with the 3rd party ads showing up as they turned them on and off because of cash flow."

I see you claim LocalAdLink ads show up on all sorts of sites like National Lampoon. You can't be serious, can you?
You don't have any current examples of LocalAdLink ads on 3rd party sites, do you?
