My coder is trying to convince me to move to .
net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because
of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about
a year and am nervous about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my
wordpress content into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It’s interesting to see the fact that ServiceLive has failed. Unlike, Homeadvisor and other lead generation companies out there.

Many homeowners and professionals will prefer to discuss the cost variables of each project in person before writing a detailed estimate.

It’s difficult for some homeowners to understand the full scope of materials and labor needed.

Here’s a comment from FixR CEO Andres Torrubia.

I really wonder the amount of leads they will generate once they start charging the $10 listing fee (March 1st, 2009).

Here’s a comment from “TX Pro” — thanks!

I’m registered with both and I prefer the SL.com solution because with SM I buy leads that 20 other people buy with no guarantee of winning the job. In SL, when presented with a job I can accept and know I’ve won the business or respond with a conditional offer if I don’t think there’s enough money in the deal. SL doesn’t cost me anything unless I win a job. It’s worth 10% to me because it’s work I wasn’t planning on having to begin with and I didn’t spend anything to get it. The more business I get from ServiceLive the more I decrease my lead funds on Servicemagic

Here is the Full Text of ServiceMagic CEO Craig Smith’s response to us regarding launch of ServiceLive.

“A reverse auction is a challenging model to execute in our vertical because it’s difficult for some homeowners to understand the full scope of materials and labor needed prior to speaking with a licensed professional. ServiceMagic empowers our homeowners to receive a competitive price by:

1.) Creating a marketplace of interested professionals who are matched to the homeowners needs based upon specific project attributes
2.) We receive a lot of firsthand feedback from our homeowners through our rating and review process that provides very rich insight into projects cost by zip code and specific project details. Through this data capture, the ServiceMagic model empowers our homeowners to be informed when negotiating pricing with service professionals.
3.) We’ve enabled homeowners to ask-a-reviewer direct questions, via our secure platform, about their experience with approved members of our network. Enabling this direct dialogue helps our homeowners become more informed about project costs and general expectations around their home needs.

Overall, the scope of ServiceMagic’s platform isn’t limited by the size of the project. Regardless of whether it’s a small repair or a major remodel, many homeowners and professionals will prefer to discuss the cost variables of each project in person before writing a detailed estimate. Smaller projects have more predictable project costs but in almost every case the homeowner and our 10-point screened professional will need to meet to discuss project scope and set comprehensive expectations upfront to help avoid unexpected charges and, perhaps, frustration with the process.”
