Thomasnet.com review: Just a big word of warning regarding ThomasNet 2

Just a big word of warning regarding ThomasNet. I replaced another marketing person, and am reviewing new and 7 years of annual contracts. ThomasNet charged between 7-$10K per year but when I took the list of companies TN says that they referred to us over the last 7 years, no one here recognizes any of them as former or current OEM buyers. They have provided us with very little other than white 3-ring binders for nearly $80K. Others are right, use an independent entity to create your website, and Google Adwords to target your internet ad buys.

Also, based on personal experience, the company stodge replying on this site ("Mike H.") is entirely wrong on each post he's made (and he clearly needs someone to tell him about identity theft). Curious how his words seem lifted from their site or their now very outdated contracts. UPDATE: I've now pulled and reviewed all 7 years worth of contracts, and like the books that predate their site, neither their 'internet marketing solutions' nor their contracts have changed very little. Ah, heck, the internet hasn't changed much over the last 7 years.
