I guess this would be the right place to post this question. Isee the link at the top of the page for Find a Contractor, I was wondering is this link going to be to a sponsor like Service Magic or Improvenet or is it going to be an in house deal? Always looking for a new source of leads. Post here or send me a PM with details of this.

I've shied away from most online lead generation services due to thier wanting an unfront or monthly fee, to me the only way I figure I should pay for leads is if I actually win the job. I've recently signed on to one service which only charges a flat 4% on the project bid IF you win the job. No other fees involved. I'm very comfortable with this, and have always tried to give anyone who pointed me to a lead a little something for their trouble as a thank you. I know what the lead is going to cost me upfront and I can choose to either pass this along in my bid or absorb it. Either way what I'm paying for the leads is 100% deductible as advertising at the end of the year. And I'm getting leads that I otherwise would have missed.

Would you mind passing along what lead service you are subscribed to that only charges you if you win the lead. My e-mail address is tuckerfam4@yahoo.com

I myself am sick of lead services that charge you for each lead and the leads are customers that are not serious about doing work. Do you know that some solicite customers through those $500 free coupon surveys? Those people aren't really serious about getting work done. I find most internet leads are people who are looking for a great deal or are just curious about the price and don't really have any idea how much projects cost, so in effect, they waste our time because we have to go out there and kick them in the groin so to speak with the price and then they decide not to do it because their uncle Harold can do the project for less. Of course he can. He doesn't have to pay for liabilty or workmans comp, etc. If you want a professional job, bite the bullet, pay the extra cost and hire a professional.
