Overview

Linkstorm makes online ads more useful to the customer by overlaying a cascading navigation menu onto any ad, activated by mouse-over, that lets the customer navigate deeply into the advertiser’s web, right to the product, product info, or transaction the CUSTOMER wants. This boosts click-through and conversion rates by 2x-17x (extensively documented), thus delivering a true ROI in Display Advertising, a sector with rapid, recession-proof growth.
