Complaint Review: Local Ad Link Beyond Commerce I-Supply Bob McNulty LocalAdLink I-supply.com Localadlink.com - Nationwide

I have many friends who got involved with Bob Mc Nulty and his many muti marketing scams.
He has changed the name of his Scam three times in the past year.  All my Dear friends would come tell me how great this Man is and that he is not a millionaire But a Billionaire!  It all was too fishy for me to jump in the bowl with all my friends. Now they all are without the sign up fee and monthly fee's and without the commissions promised.  Now I am hearing he is joined up with some new guy that goes around telling people he is a swinger! Oh God help these people understand a scam when it is done nothing but cost them money.  The newest company I understand is called AdJuice. 

Signed, Out of Concern for the Victim's

FIRST GO READ the better business bureau's rating RATING = F advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law's licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, company bounced 567 checks in march & april... I still haven't been paid it's not even worth it anymore... people don't listen... they'd rather believe lies and hope on a fantasy rather than looking at the facts... bad co.... bad management... bad people.

I am amazed how many people would rather blame others that accept reponsibility for themselves. They refuse to look inside themselves and educate themselves. LocalAdLink (LAL) is a new company and was only launched two days ago! For the past six months the company has been working in a "beta" mode. Every company has growing pains and LAL is no different. As far as proprietary software, this business model is unique and the entirety of the system IS propreitary. LAL does NOT just use Adwords from Google, that is totally false! Some people can use tools from Google but LAL is it's own creation. If a any person joins LAL and goes out and sells the service to local businesses they will make money and the service works for the businesses! Anyone that understands internet propagation understands this can take time. Bottom line, there will always be sour grapes from people that are unable or unwilling to see the benefit from something of value being presented to them. To them, a diamond will never be more than a cubic zirconia. I feel sorry for them. They will never see the big picture.

Why is it we only hear from those that somehow think they have been wronged or scammed? Why do we never hear from the other 98% that have positive experiences? Well I am here to stand up for the 98%. I signed up back in December because for one, I am a small business owner and liked the concept, and 2, if it worked I could share it with my fellow small business owners. Within 48 hours of submitting my ad into the directory, there I was all by myself. Dominating the entire mattress category. I had it all to myself. Of course, no one knew about this company yet. 4 days later I did a search on Google for one of my 'targeted terms" and low and behold I was sitting at the very top right under the search bar. This continued for a couple of weeks and then I decided to spruce up my ad and "add a coupon". I did this on Sunday evening. The next day in the afternoon someone came in and ordered a $1700 mattress from me. As I was typing up the invoice he whipped the coupon I had designed the night before. He said, so, do I get my 10% discount or what? My mouth dropped. I could not believe I got action that fast. To this day I can attribute over $11,000 in sales directly to those very coupons. Now I pay $99 a month, I'm all over the Google network including MySpace, Aol, Ask, Eziinearticles, plus the entire content network for all my keywords. Yesterday I was on a mattress forum answering questions when on the right hand side of the page, there was my ad sponsored by localadlink.com. I average 300-400 views per month so if I were doing my own PPC campaign that would cost at least double if not triple what they are charging due to the competitive nature of my business. I'm not saying the ride has been rosy. Any startup is going to go through rough times. Yes, the explosive growth crashed the system. Yes the explosive growth sent up red flags with the merchant processor resulting in funds being cutoff and checks bouncing, ads not appearing, etc. Well guess what, the same thing happened to me when I started my business. One day I checked my account and I had $0. Well this simply couldn't be because I was having records sales. Well it was to be because I was not approved for the amount of money I was running through my account. You see the processor can be hung out to dry if the company goes out of business owing merchandise to it's customer. After long negotiations I was able to convince my processor to raise my limit and release my funds. That is exactly what happened here and thus all the negatives come out of the woodwork. McNulty vowed this would not happen again and went out and secured at least three more merchant service providers with even more in negotiations. With the launch of their own truly proprietary ad network on May 4th, I-Supply, Local Ad Link will begin populating this e-commerce solutions platform to it's first 5000 websites throughout May. Each site will be serving up ads, geo-targeted, for business advertisers in the Local Ad Link directory itself. This will greatly enhance the value of what they offer. By the end of the year they expect to have between 50,000 and 100,000 websites all serving up ads, just like Adsense, only geo-targeted exclusively. I am not denying there are people out there who are probably still owed commissions, and ads not displaying but these people are the exception. NOT the rule as depicted in this thread. Am I getting my $99 worth, heck yes. Are my friends experiencing the same type of results, heck yes. Most have upgraded to the larger zip code packages. One last statement, this company has no role model to follow in there footsteps. They are breaking new ground and of course are being attacked from all sides. In the end, those that take the most arrows get the most land.

I, too have been scammed by Local Ad Link. From what I've experienced with Local Ad Link, I do not think they know what the words "integrity" or "decency" mean. Local Ad Link charged me twice for my ads, and then refused to send me a refund for the amount they overcharged me. I contacted Local Ad Link immediately when I saw the charge on my online bank statement. In fact, I contacted them the same day the charge was placed on my account. Local Ad Link's excuse for not sending me the refund was that they said I did not notify them within 72 hours of the charge being made. Of course, I could not have contacted within that time frame because I didn't know they made the error! Local Ad Link then denied me access to my ads so I could not change them - even though they told me I would be able to make revisions to the ads at anytime. Local Ad Link overcharged me and didn't deliver the product they advertised. If that's not a ripoff, I don't know what is.
