If you haven't heard about www.LocalAdLink.com (LAL) it will be a matter of time. Sarasota/Bradenton is starting to connect the local businesses in the community with LocalAdLink.com. Several Independent Sales Executives in the area like myself are speaking out to the community to show them a new online interactive directory. With the yellow book claiming bankruptcy and print advertising not proving to be as effective anymore, there is an need for a local company to have an internet presence. Having a website alone does not do the trick. In 2009 5.6 Billion dollars will be spent on online advertising and projected to grow to 11.2 Billion dollars by 2011. If you are not gettiing 20% of your customers from online advertising, you are 5 years behind the time!

Call it a "Facebook" for businesses if you will. LocalAdLink.com is an interactive directory that allows a business to post business details, driving directions, upload photographs, add video, add multiple coupons, reviews and has a link to your website. They help draw traffic to your local business throght their geo-trageted technology. You choose what zip codes you want to see your business and they will push your business out to all the social networks, search engines and high trafficked website on the world wide web. Only people in the zip codes that you choose will see your ads in the sponsored links. This kind of technology allows your local business to be seen when someone is on a site like Martha Stewart.com in the sponsored links. For example if you are on Martha Stewart.com  looking up a lasgna reciepe and Pops Pizza is advertiisng on LAL and has lasgna is his key words, Pops pizza a local pizza place will pop up in the sponsored links on the left hand side. Now, that person can click on his ad and it will take them to LocalAdLink.com where his profile will pop up and that family can go and print a coupon to Pops saving them money on their next meal. Not only that but the local business owner has 24/7 access to their free back office and can tweak their ad at any time, as well as view their analytics creating a value that makes this a slam dunk!

7 months young, LocalAdLink a subsidary of Beyond Commerce (BYOC) (www.beyondcommerce.com) is already sitting in the top 3100 websites in the US on www.Alexa.com. Alexa.com measures the amount of unique visitors a website gets per day and rates them. Google is number 1. It is projected that in 6 months or less, LAL will surpass yellow book which is in the 900's. This is a growth rate that is impressive. Of course, having Robert McNulty as your CEO explains why this company is growing at the rate it is. A business man who wrote the plan for Home Depot and who starting Home Club and was featured in the book, Blue Print to Success as one of 387 people to bring a business to a billion dollars net. He has been a pioneer on the internet and now his dream is to build and sell a multi-billion dollar company before he dies. His vision is that LocalAdLink.com will be the largest ad network on the world wide web.

Local Businesses are already taking advantage of this opportunity. Whiteberry, Execptional Dentistry of Sarasota, Zoria, Booth Photography Studio, RSS Rapid Security Solutions, Canvas Care, Lonjevity, Cafe Baci, Marianne LeBar, P.A., Ana Molinari Salon & Spa, Country Pancake House, Beach Bistro, Be Well Salon, Prescision Signs, Inc and more joining everyday. One business, Zoria even took it upon themselves to make use of their billboard on the side of their building to draw attention to their LocalAdLink profile on the directory. The billboard says, "Visit Zoria at LocalAdLink.com and save." Zoria has a 20% coupon of your entire check posted on their directory and in just two weeks received 8 coupons returned! Whiteberry saw 11 coupons returned in their first 3-4 weeks of advertising with LAL.

Not only are local businesses just advertising their business, some are even getting in the busines themselves. There is a real advantage to this and business owners see the potential. Lou & Diane Shultz from Canvas Cafe, Arthur Lopes of Zoria, Marianne LeBar of Michael Saundes Real Estate and so many more are now Brand Builders (Independent Executives) with LAL.

The official launch of LocalAdLink is on June 13th, 2009 in Las Vegas where they will hold their Velvet Ribbon Cutting. I will be going there and bringing back more excitement to motivate not only my team but the community. The support the company provides through their website is unmatched and extremely high tech.

LocalAdLink has given many people in the community an opportunity to earn extra income by paying their Independent Reps 50% commissions on all ad sales. You can join for free as an account executive or you can build your own team by becoming a brand builder an earn stock options and get paid eight different ways.
