I recently received an email which mentioned theseed.com so thought i would give them a go.

Who are they? - Here is their marketing fluff:

TheSeed.com is a revolutionary online Pay-Per-Lead service. It is true pay-for-performance marketing. You receive business enquiries from companies interested in the services you offer and you only pay for each genuine lead you receive. Our fully automated system offers you true Pay As You Go functionality. You can stop at any time and you can control the volume of leads you receive.

I have been with them for 1 day and first impressions aren’t great. I signed up to a barrage of javascript errors in the admin console resulting in the loss of my profile data on 4 separate occasions. Resorted to editing in notepad and pasting in. This was due to the javascript that keeps a count of number of characters throwing a wobbly.

The main gripe I have is with the category selections. I chose to be notified of web design and development leads. I specifically chose to be NOT informed about e-commerce development. A day later, I received one lead… an e-commerce site. I sent their customer services department an email pointing this out, several hours later and I still haven’t heard anything.

You’d think that having paid money for this lead, they would respond to queries a tad quicker.

More updates to come.
