Allcampus.com

Allcampus.com’s commercial shows impressive college buildings.
Allcampus.com wants to create the impression they are connected with major universities.
What Allcampus.com wants is personal information about students watching their commercial. They will sell this information to various vocational schools and non-mainstream colleges.
Channel One’s parent company Alloy Media and Marketing is using Channel One News to get names and addresses of young people.

You can check all over the Allcampus.com site and never see any mention of Alloy. We had to go to the U.S. Copyright website to discover that Alloy owns this company like they own FindTuition.com and CareersandCollege.com, both major advertisers on C1N.

When students go to Alloy’s Allcampus.com they are then directed to the College Bound Network. Here’s a description of what the members of this “network” do”:

“The CollegeBound Network specializes in providing full-service marketing retention and lead generation solutions for the education industry.

Our seasoned staff of industry professionals strives to develop long standing partnerships with our clients in an effort to understand your business and work to develop the most profitable programs to meet your growth solution needs.’

Allcampus.com, FindTuition.com, and CareersandCollege.com are small-staffed websites that aim to help their clients. Their clients are NOT students. Students simply provide their personal information which is then turned into cash by selling leads to school clients. The clients are cosmetology schools, nail technician and skincare schools, massage therapy schools, colonic hydrotherapy schools, acting schools, and auto body schools and heating and air conditioning schools, to name a few.

Below: Students who see Allcampus.com’s commercial in their classroom on Channel One News may visit the website when they get home. This is the homepage of the site which is yet another Alloy “get-personal-information-and-sell-it” site.

Below is an article from last year that explains how the CollegeBound Network and its members, like Allcampus.com, make money.
