Cory, the jury is out and has been out on Local Ad Link - in fact, they left the building months ago. The Local Ad Link directory is worthless as well as bereft of any strategy. There is nothing of value that is being created from it. There is nothing to turn around. Zurvita would have a greater chance of turning around Enron. At least Enron had some assets.If Zurvita, or anyone, "bought rights to sell it", or bought LAL outright, or submitted an ounce of energy or monetary compensation to LAL in any way, they were simply ripped off. Period. Read this blog from start to finish and you will have a full understanding of exactly why this is true. LAL is a scam plain and simple. That's one of the many reasons the very founders are running from it!

I am not by any means backing the obvious liability that local ad link turned out to be. Their first problem was that they had 50,000 people signed on to sell LAL in the first 90 days, along with their payment processing being dropped, only added insult to injury. They didn't prepare themselves for the firestorm that eventually brought the house of cards down. And by no means, are my comments meant to make excuses for the past of the company. I just want to show that the jury is still out, and the fact that zurvita has control over LAL, says alot about the way LAL will be run, marketed and improved. All i am saying is that there is a new sheriff in town, lets give Zurvita the benefit of the doubt, and the chance to turn LAL around. After all, Zurvita is a a subsidiary of the Amacore corp. which is a 40 billion operation. lets just give them a chance to make things right. thanks everyone, Cory Hanks.....

So, what your saying is that Zurvita drank the McNulty flavored Local Ad Link Koolaid and just got burned. Local Ad Link is a liability - not an asset that anyone in their right mind would pay for. "Bought rights to sell it"? LOL! You can buy actual directories for $40 that are worth more than Local Ad Link. Please let Zurvita know that I have some swampland in Antarctica for sale - they can contact me through this hub.

Cory, Does that mean the lack of quality product will be fixed as well as the $8 million in debt that will be erased? It seems Stan K has a excellent point in regards to the problem being the product. Erasing the 'dodgy' aspect of the payment plan and paying recruits etc still doesn't fix the product and what the client actually gets or more specifically doesn't get.

Hi Stan and the rest of the people posting comments on this site. I an a network marketer with a company called Zurvita, and the leaders of the company Mark and Tracy Jarvis, who were seven figure earners with Ameriplan before starting Zurvita, just announced yesterday 10-8-09 that Omni Reliant has bought LAL, and Zurvita has Bought the rights to sell LAL.I realize that with this marriage, I can be labeled as bias since i will soon have the option of selling the LAL product. But one thing i will say, is that there is no doubt that LAL has had some serious problems since its inception, but with Omni reliant owning the company only moves them in a positive direction. Omni is a tv infomercial company that has produced many products that we know today as household names like the Ginsu knife, and there are tons more that i do not know offhand. But my point is that Omni is a billion dollar company, and that being said, they have the capitol to erase the issues with payments, and credit card processing. They have taken a responsibility to turn this company around for the better, and hopefully make LAL a good viable product. I am not saying that LAL has not had major issues by no means, but with Zurvita taking over the geneology, and the rights to sell LAL, Zurvita will now have control over the sales force and compensation. Zurvita has an impeccable reputation for taking care of Consultants, and customers specifically. Hope this helps the conversation on this blog since things have been flared at times from what i have seen. Cory Hanks www.ZurvitaCentral.com

Keep the posts coming and if you hear of anything keep the updates coming, especially from Australia and Canada.Its important that the right word gets out there as no-one deserves to get hurt, especially in these unforgiving times where money is so critical. No-one can afford to be losing any amounts of money to potentially dodgy companies.

Having your own personal "mall" where people can buy products. Has never worked...is the biggest scam around. When people want to buy products they go to reputable sites like amazon, etc. they do not go to Joe Shmoes website...gimme a break. These MLM'ers just never give up...it is amazing.

From the makers of Local Ad Link, Beyond Commerce has announced the launch of Kaching Kaching, Inc.:http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Beyond-Commerce-AnnoAnd here I was hoping this blog would die with the demise of the bogus Local Ad Link plan. Looks like I was wrong. A new influx of financing for the BYOC con artists - here we go again.

the spike in their stock could have to do with the fact they are now under a shell corporation of omni-reliant I believe. By the way, since the last post about not being paid, one of two checks which are outstanding were issued today.

Thanks for the links CanadaLAL. Yes Australia was 'supposed to be live from 1st Sept, but I don't think it was. More delays I suspect.

Hi BlossomDr. Scott Elliott is a MLM scammer from way back. There are several references about him and his past scam activities (see Stan's documentation above and also google Dr. Scott Elliott AND scam). I've heard that he has moved on to his latest recruitment scheme called Adzzoo which is an identical scam. Most of the cons that launched LAL came from BurnLounge and now have jumped ship again to do the scam Recruiting game over at Adzzoo. And, LAL is currently suing Adzzoo for $50 million - see: http://news.localadlink.com/2009/07/localadlinkdot Dr. Scam Elliott is no doubt using another one of his many AKA's and below radar for now. Another excellent blog, with exceptional comments like Stan K, is: http://www.ontopresults.com/2009/05/11/localadlinkMy understanding is that Australia, like Canada, is not operational as promised, or is in soft launch. And if it is live, good luck finding an advertiser's ad (see Stan's many comments above).Canada is nothing more than a pyramid recruiting scheme. I would bet Australia is absolutely no different. Perhaps not today, but give it a few weeks so that these recruitment con artists can do what they do best - recruit, but never deliver.

Hi CanadaLAL, I was reading the info you put on re: Dr Scott Elliott resigning. I did notice that on his Twitter dated 21st September he says 'his dedication to LAL remains constant'. See: http://twitter.com/drscottelliott . To me he is sending mixed messages. Do you have any further info about this guy and how involved he is or was? I noticed your last comment re the spike in the stock. I don't know what it has to do with, but LAL is absolutely flooding Australia at the moment and I know 1 person alone has over 300 people in his group, never mind all the thousands out there spruiking it. Thanks again everyone for all the comments, it's great to hear feedback from all over the world.
