		<description><![CDATA[@WhoAPI - If I understand correctly you are suggesting we change it to cost per leads found?

We feel that this would only hurt those domain owners with very generic domains. Our goal was to provide a low cost service that would allow people with high quality domains to find leads almost instantly. If we charged more for better domains with more leads, we feel it would drive those high quality domain owners away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Todd
I know you get 100 searches a day. I wasn&#039;t commenting from a users perspective, but from the business owner. I will try to clarify my example.

If you pay 1 cent to make a query for tretretre.com you will get fewer results, than if you pay 1 cent and query hotel.com. (for hotel.com I suppose you could get as many as 10 000 results)

Meaning, the system received 1 cent for 4 results, and it received 1 cent for 10 000 results. Meaning, bad/unscalable business model. I know it&#039;s a little bit offtopic, but I love to talk about things like this :)]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like how LeadRefs made their service free for an extended period of time to demonstrate its value and then flipped the switch to a pay-for model.

Between them, DomainTools, Estibot, FreshDrop, etc (I do not personally have accounts at all of them)...being a domainer can be expensive!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lead refs is an interesting concept! It&#039;s just that I am a bit concerned that they are throwing around the email address of the owner, I mean it&#039;s really highlighted. How are they combating spaming?

I am also uncertain about their business model. They charge you 12.50$ for 100 searches. 1 search (for example whoapi) shows you one result. However, 1 search (for example hotel) shows you thousands of results. This means that for 12.50$ there&#039;s a big difference in a number of queries you are making.

The service is very helpfull, and I am interested to see other uses as well.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Great idea Elliot and an awesome use for Leadrefs!

Are you doing this yourself? I&#039;d recommend you hire someone to do this so you can focus on the strategy and let someone get paid hourly to do the tactical here. 

Either way great idea!]]></description>
