Google’s been rattling it’s sabers regarding payday loan lead generators and direct lenders for months. Recently, the Google elves got pretty nasty. They dropped more than a few major lead gen companies out of their search results completely; this just as several of clients for whom we do consulting were near completing various rounds of financing to enable them to evolve into direct lenders.

Our readers know that, in spite of the fact that payday loan lead costs for lenders often reach as high as $150, margins for lead generators are getting squeezed big-time!
