16 Local Products – Points Ranking System Local online advertisers come right after the LPP, according to the following rules: A number of points are attributed to each DirectoryPlus item and each stand-alone online product. This ranking is proportionate to the value of each e-product. This ranking system is used to determine the advertiser’s rank within the local advertiser section on the result page : - advertisers who invest the most are positioned first - the most $ invested, the better the ranking. Points are added cumulatively per heading, per book Points do not add up between two headings or two books
