I heard the news last week and it surprised me. It's not easy making money in their segment (small businesses, low margin), but I didn't think it was this bad.

Hmm I'm surprised this is getting out after a month. Unfortunately I'm one of the 'victims' of the cleansweep. The fact that there was going to be lay offs was not a surprise since this is always one of the possibilities ater a take-over. The new way they are heading is more surprising. ClearSense was trying to compete more and more with companies like Traffic4U and CheckIt, but now they're going back to click packages. It was unfortunate for me being fired as well, but it also gave me some new changes. I've started my own little SEA-company now (www.sea-consultant.nl). So that's very exciting and I'm keeping a keen eye on ClearSense's progress because click packages don't last anymore these days.

Jeffery, you refer to click packages but these clicks are actually sold as leads on their website.

@Mark:
Well we both know there is a difference between a click and a lead. It's smart to sell them as leads, but in fact they'rejust relevant clicks that might become leads.

@Mark Maybe they are 1. not aware of the difference between leads and clicks, or 2. are aware of the difference but prefer to call it leads. Both options are not good.
