"They're an absolute Scam"
They just have the perfect system to lock you in, charge you way more than the service is worth, and upsell even more expensive products with the explanation...

They are engaged in unsolicited telemarketing (even to people on the *government* no call list.
They are engaged in unsolicited telemarketing (even to people on the *government* no call list). What they are doing is totally illegal and they can be fined anywhere from $222,000 right up to $2.22 million for breaching industry code of practice.
I'm on the no call list, have been for some time now, and they call my number anyway!
If you receive an unsolicited spam call from these people, which always starts with "How are we doing today?" (I.e. I'm trying to sell you something here), if you receive an unsolicited spam call from these people, then I suggest you mark the call as spam on your phone, join the no call list, and if they're particularly *** annoying like the little *** was today, then lodge a complaint with organisation:

If they want to grow their business they need to advertise like everyone else. Not make unsolicited spam calls day in day out annoying the *** out of people.
Know your rights people!

Resolved: Do not use this company
Sponsored Lynx agreed that I had not been made fully aware of their process during the initial sales call and have agreed to refunding me the last few weeks and crediting my account for the next weeks to see if they can get us some better results.
Their sales people are very smooth, they go through your google ad-words account and tell you how bad it is, followed by an offer that would seems reasonable. I was told that if I upped my spend to $50 a day they would be able to generate me between 1 and three leads.
After $1130 down the drain and 1 lead generated I feel that I have been taken advantage of.
I have read the other comments and it seems that they will continue to charge me now even after I have cancelled and after their dismal performance. Stay away from this company.
Preferred solution: Price reduction
What would you expect from a company who hires faked liars, who think the {{Redacted}} dont stink. Especially SEO adminstrator and her lying *** family. All tarred wi5h the same brush.

This is the SCAM-ZILLA of them all...
We must do everything it takes to keep the customer to even 'appearing surprised' when knowing it was our fault...
It all seems legitimate and you are promised the world when starting, however within 2 months the sugar hit fades really quickly.
I can guarantee this place will be investigated by Four Corners or ACA/ASIC/FAIRWORK one of these days.
The ingrained culture of fear and intimidation is at breaking point. They run their sales team (almost) like an underground boiler-room.
They have played musical chairs with senior staff within the organisation as the degree of incompetence is staggering. The pressure they place on their client managers is sweatshop-nightmare quality, I have seen some good people crumble with depression and who cry daily from the stress.
In fact our CEO has been linked with criminal M.Featherstone who ran boiler room call scam centres and linked with organised crime, old Mick attended a 'Sponno' Christmas party or two!
What else? Oh yes, they promise the world to their clients as long as they keep their weekly fee coming in from adword packages, seo and so-forth.
Don't believe me? Google 'SponsoredLinx SCAM' or visit whirlpool and search SponsoredLinx.
The fun doesn't end there, they have a subsidiary company 'GMT' or Get More Traffic based on the Gold Coast run by a dictator type character General Manager Kerry Anderson who has bullied staff over the years, I've even witnessed him engaging with 'yelling matches' with the TL for GMT based in our Valley Office.
I could go on, please 'google' and do some research before joining, unless you are that desperate for money.

Be careful who you let into your house!@
When trying to log into my website at http://www.sydneyaccessconsultants.com.au, it redirects to http://www.harmreductionaustralia.org.au. The public (frontend) side of my site seems ok fortunately, but the backend admin side is not accessible through the normal user interface.
My host advises that the database used for http://www.sydneyaccessconsultants.com.au has a divert reference to http://www.harmreductionaustralia.org.au, which is causing the issue.
I personally built the site, entirely from blank, using joomla extensions etc over the last couple of years.This is the first time I’ve encountered Harm Reduction Australia. It clearly wasn’t my doing. The only other peeps with admin access to my joomla database was http://www.Sponsoredlinx.com.au
I’ve been a customer for a couple of years where sponsoredlinx.com.au adequately and professionally operated my Adwords campaign. Set and forget for me, which was very pleasant. Because of that level of service, I was enticed in Aug 2016, when I was contacted by their sales team, to engage in an SEO package with Sponsoredlinx, and I proposed to pay $850 or so a month in advance, to whip my site into SEO shape so that I coud drop the google adwords campaign in exchange for much more organic traffic.
After the first month of the SEO process, I was reasonably dis-satisfied and cancelled the service agreement. That’s apparently when the fun really began. Now my entire backend diverts to someone else's front end and Im entirely locked out of my own site.
Upon reflection, it hasn’t been the smartest SEO decision from SponsoredLinx, unless of course, their client is Harm Reduction Australia. Instead of promoting Disabled Access, my access has been disabled. I’m struggling to think of a reason why I would pay for that.
In the past few years I have recommended sponsoredlinx to numerous architects but it’s difficult to recommend them so highly, or to recommend that anyone adopt their SEO services, in light of their latest efforts for Sydney Access Consultants.
Appalling customer service
I have used Sponsoredlinx for the past three years and am appalled at their shocking level of service. The sales team promise the world and do not deliver!
My nominated google add word consultants changed every three months. I was always told the same story i.e. ... 'staff member has personal problems and we are not sure when they will be coming back'.
Bought it the first time but became a tad sceptical when I heard the same story with the second consultant. My google addwords stopped for three weeks and they were non the wiser. Still managed to deliver excellent reports even though my campaign was not running.
Total sham. I would not recommend them
