For about a year and a half, I was using ReachLocal for SEM. My in-house internet marketing director was handling this. Unknown to me, ReachLocal was commissioning him on my buys. I learned of this after my marketing director was let go. I suspect ReachLocal may know of situations like this, and simply may just look the other way. They claim they are unaware of any other situations like this ever occurring. With their enormous outside sales force, I doubt this is the case. I would love to hear from any other advertisers who have found out they have been paying either an employed or contracted internet marketing person or firm who in turn has been commissioned by ReachLocal.
