Local AdLink uses geo-targeting technology, which determines the IP Address of a website visitor and delivers targeted specific content to that visitor based on their ip location.

 

Every computer on the internet is assigned a unique IP address by their internet service provider (ISP), such as Comcast Cable, Verizon, AT&T Cable, etc. An IP address provides location information of a computer such as country, region, and city. An IP address is like a specific mailing address but for your home computer. Everyone has a unique address and it allows other computers to know where you or your ISP is in the world at any given time.

 

LocalAdLink proprietary Geo-targeting of Ads on LocalAdLink Online Advertising.  When you first visit our website at www.LocalAdLink.com, the website detects your IP address and related location information provided by your ISP. Using this location data with our geo-targeting technology, business listings in your area are displayed.

When you find yourself in a situation where LocalAdLink shows you

Business listings that is not from your area, simply go to the top right of the page to the “Find Businesses in your local area” section and submit your location information (zip code, city, town, state or area code) in order to display

the business listings in your area.

 

This special case is required since some

ISP companies will purchase a large block of IP addresses and register

them all with their company’s physical mailing address. This type of

setup on the ISP’s end will cause business listings from another area

(the area in which your ISP registered the large block of IP addresses)

to be displayed. This is most likely to occur when you are connecting to

the internet from hotels, smaller communities, SBC DSL, AOL, or any other internet service provider.
