What is LocalAdLink.com and how does it work?
LocalAdLink is a complete online advertising solution connecting local businesses with local customers. We are the leading low cost provider for online advertising.
LocalAdLink - The Directory Service.
As you first may notice when arriving to www.LocalAdLink.com, we have a full national directory service like yellowpages.com and yellowbook.com. We offer many of the same services as other directories, including geo-targeted landing pages which show local businesses by first detecting where the visitor is coming from. We also offer featured listings, logos, business information, directions, business Web sites, and easy search ability. Our directory moves beyond other services by engaging the customer with interactive movie galleries, picture galleries, coupon galleries, full descriptions, and reviews. LocalAdLink is the community oriented site for consumers to find businesses and for businesses to have a larger Web presence while interacting with consumers. All of these features are controlled by the advertiser and are trackable in real time so their offers can be updated to maximize results.
LocalAdLink - The Advertising Network.
Like Google ad words and Double Click, LocalAdLink is also a full ad network designed to spread local businesses across the Internet by allowing small to large businesses to display their listing across a network of partnered Web sites. What this means to businesses is that we not only allow users to search for what they are looking for, but we also use the Internet to show people what they are looking for based on where they live and by which Web sites they visit. This is easily accomplished by geo-targeting our advertising to a person’s location by detecting where they come from. With this superior targeting technology, LocalAdLink is capable of advertising to hundreds of millions of people a day on millions of different Web sites and pages.
LocalAdLink - The Web Presence.
We’ve all heard of SEO (search engine optimization), but reality is, that no one can guarantee that you will be the first on a Google search result every time. Google uses automated programs called “bots” to add new Web sites to their system every minute and determines search results by best word match up as well as by popularity. LocalAdLink uses this common knowledge to advertise their business by taking the descriptive words you add to our system and displays them easily for “bots” to find. LocalAdLink also takes the same words you use to describe their business and inserts them in their ads across our vast network of partnered Web sites across the internet. This builds up popularity as these “bots” find you all over the place.

What is “geo-targeting” and how does it work?
Geo-targeting is a technical term that really is a commonly used technology. We attach our programs to a national database that stores zip codes, cities, counties, states, and countries tracked by IP addresses. IP addresses are unique addresses assigned to their internet access by their ISP (internet service provider). LocalAdLink matches their IP Address to this national database and delivers the closest results. These results will allow LocalAdLink to display advertisements, businesses, events, coupons, and maps accordingly. While not 100% accurate, it averages approximately 83% accurate.
What is the difference between Keywords and Targeted Terms?
Keywords are used only within the LocalAdLink.com search directory. Targeted Terms are used to search outside of LocalAdLink.com along with geo-location in order to specifically direct an advertisement to a potential customer. If a keyword is typed in using the LocalAdLink.com directory, it will search the directory based off of the city/location that is entered, and the keyword used. If searching on a search engine like Google, a ‘Targeted Term’ will collaborate with the ‘targeted zip codes’ that their business selected while creating the advertisement.
How long does is take a business to appear in the LocalAdLink network?
It takes about six hours for a new business to appear in the LocalAdLink directory and approximately 24 – 48 hours to appear in
the network. All edits to a pre-existing business will take effect immediately in real time on LocalAdLink.com. All other edits are
completed once a month at this point.
How do businesses tell if they attract customers and how they attract customers?
LocalAdLink provides each business with an assigned salesperson to help with our system. Each business also receives a login
to their account to manage their system directly. All changes to the account are instant throughout our network. One of the tools
we give every business is live statistics. The “Detailed Statistics” tool allows businesses to monitor number of visitors to the website, where they are coming from, how many printed coupons, and much more. With all of this information, each business can see
what works best and can modify advertisements accordingly.
