Local listings can work well for companies ,but if falling prey to “guarantees” and MLM garbage, you’ll get what you deserve.

Justin,
Not going to say much more than, I really appreciated reading this article. I’ve grown up in a family that seems to be chasing one MLM after another. The MLMs often disguise their businesses with other draws, like teaching good moral values, and other things that don’t even relate to what the business is selling in the first place. They’re almost trying to sell a social-networking system within themselves. And what I’ve really come to not like about MLMs is that they really don’t have the costumers best interest in mind at all. It’s just about getting the sale. That urks me. I’m not trying to bash the people in MLMs, because I know lots and they are all wonderful and sincere people, but none of them are inspired to offer the world what really makes them unique because it about the money, even though they say it isn’t.

Wow, this topic has really gotten some of us up on our soap-boxes. But I suppose rightfully so. I’m heading to college this fall. I’m still searching for how to pay for it all, and earlier today, while a friend’s mom was talking to me about Amway Global (an MLM), I remember that I had registered for LAL about a year ago. I went to check it out again, but then started reading reviews like this, and then reading this one by Justin was really good for me to read. This has help me shut my eyes to MLMs for good now . Which I have been feeling was the right thing to do for a while now.

Thanks for the article Justin.

At the moment, I am waiting to see where this company goes. I started out with lots of enthusiasm and now find myself very dissapointed. Here is why. Ads don’t appear on the Local Adlinks website when searching by zip code. Or at least not all paid ZIP codes. Even after 30 days. Everyone knows it takes time for an ad to get pushed out to the search engines, but when it doesn’t even appear on the paid web portal, that’s a bigger problem.

I totally agree. They need sharky sales people for a reason.

Hey Justin, interesting article – judging by the number of comments it looks like it definitely got a few people talking. Personally I’ve never used LAL and after reading this article and the comments above from the likes of Trish, I never will use it either! Thanks for sharing and pointing out the flaws!

People must be really aware of these scams and not trust these sites. And these sites that offers free money for just clicking a link woah 10 $ for a link? damn that is not so true. DON’T be fooled by these plots imagine would they give free money for just a link? they must be damn rich to do that

That is surely a scam. People are paying for LAL’s traffic. I have also heard about LAL but I don’t use their services as their are free lance sites that charges low for SEO and web marketing jobs. One example is oDesk. I wonder what’s Google’s say on this…

LOCAL AD LINK SCAM ~ Below is one of MANY notes that I wrote to LocalAdLink management and others involved in selling me the membership. A NOTE TO THE WISE: Do NOT have ANYTHING to do with LocalAdLink or Boomj, or anything to do with Bob McNulty who started these company flops that literally will STEAL your hard-earned money.

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

ANYONE STILL ALIVE OUT THERE ????????????????????????

I realize it is a LITTLE amount, but hey I asked for a refund since shortly after I signed up and saw that LocalAdLink was NOT working the way it was told/sold to me. It’s truly sad that you and your company told people what to say, lied to them, they lied to us, and you STOLE so many American’s hard-earned money.

I’ve heard some people lost over $10K to you! Not to mention hours and weeks and months of their time invested in your scam.

You should be ashamed.

Go look at the previous emails; there have been over 100 of them, asking for the refund with YOUR PROMISES, over and over, to refund my money. AGAIN LIES. I never saw one penny. You just kept promising a refund and never did one thing about it. Shame on you!

What goes around, comes around. When you are having very hard times, remember what you did to me and many others. This will haunt you for many years to come. You may have made you money off of us now, but it will hurt you later; maybe not financially, but there will come a day when bad things happen and you WILL remember this.

I will get this out onto the internet soon. I am truly embarrassed for YOU and everyone involved in the theft you managed to accomplish on so many good people. Again, my amount being so small compared to others that you STOLE FROM … I humbly do this for myself AND so many others.

YOU SUCK! It’s almost comical, but it won’t be when that little thought rises in your head every time something bad happens to you and your family… one person at a time … you will get yours in the end.

Signed by one more person you cheated on your way to the bottom …

Tami Highbaugh-AbdullahNo, you say “Many people will use the title of Internet Marketer or say that their company specializes in Internet Marketing but none of these companies have the best interest of their customers at heart.”

Some actually do have their clients best interests at heart. Maybe most do not, that is why it is important to do your due diligence. Hire companies that sell results, not ones that sell services like this or a web site or even SEO. Agreed that finding a good consulting company is difficult. One measure of a good one is if they focus most of their help in off-line part of the biz.
