Method and system configured to assess a fee for communication facilitation regarding publication information

A communication system comprising:

• a processor configured to execute a communication module configured to facilitate a communication between a first contact module at a first computer system of a first entity and a second contact module at a second computer system of a second entity upon selection by the second entity of communication initiation information associated with the first entity,
• the communication initiation information being included in a user interface that includes search result information associated with the first entity,
• the communication initiation information including identification information configured to identify the first contact module,
• the first contact module having a contact module type;
• a tracking module configured to track the communication between the first contact module and the second contact module, and to track the contact module type of the first as a lead data record;
• and
• a transmitting module configured to send the lead data record to a publication system as a basis for assessing a fee to the first entity,
• the fee being based on the contact module type of the first contact module at the first computer system of the first entity.

A method comprising:

• electronically publishing a user interface having search result information associated with a first entity,
• the user interface including communication initiation information associated with the first entity and the search result information,
• the communication initiation information including identification information configured to identify a first contact module at a first computer system of the first entity,
• the first contact module having a contact module type,
• the communication initiation information being selectable to facilitate a communication between the first contact module and a second contact module at a second computer system of a second entity;
• receiving a lead data record from a communication system that facilitates the communication between the first contact module and the second contact module upon selection of the communication initiation information;
• and
• assessing a fee to the first entity based on the lead data record and on the contact module type of the identified first contact module at the first computer system of the first entity.

A method comprising:

• facilitating a communication between a first contact module at a first computer system of a first entity and a second contact module at a second computer system of a second entity upon selection by the second entity of communication initiation information associated with the first entity,
• the communication initiation information being included in a user interface that includes the search result information associated with the first entity,
• the communication initiation information including identification information configured to identify the first contact module at the first computer system of the first entity,
• the first contact module having a contact module type;
• tracking the communication between the first contact module and the second contact module, and tracking the contact module type of the first contact module as a lead data record;
• and
• sending the lead data record to a publication system as a basis for assessing a fee to the first entity, the fee being based on the contact module type of the first contact module the first computer system of the first entity.

A non-transitory tangible machine-readable medium storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• electronically publishing a user interface based on an information search,
• the user interface having search result information associated with a first entity and communication initiation information associated with the first entity and the search result information,
• the communication initiation information including identification information configured to identify a first contact module at a first computer system of the first entity,
• the first contact module having a contact module type,
• the communication initiation information being selectable to facilitate a communication between the first contact module and a second contact module at a second computer system of a second entity;
• receiving a lead data record from a communication system that facilitates the communication between the first contact module and the second contact module upon selection of the communication initiation information;
• and
• assessing a fee to the first entity based on the lead data record and on the contact module type of the identified first contact module at the first computer system of the first entity.

A system comprising:

• means for generating a user interface based on an information search,
• the user interface including search result information associated with a first entity and communication initiation information associated with the first entity,
• the communication initiation information including identification information configured to identify a first contact module at a first computer system of the first entity, the first contact module having a contact module type,
• the communication initiation information being selectable to facilitate a communication between the first contact module and a second contact module at a second computer system of the second entity;
• a receiving module configured to receive a lead data record from a communication system that facilitates the communication between the first contact module and the second contact module upon selection of the communication initiation information;
• and
• a fee assessment module configured to receive the lead data record from the receiving module and to assess a fee to the first entity based on the lead data record and on the contact module type of the identified first contact module at the first computer system of the first entity.
