Bullhorn up for Sale - Bullhorn.co.uk the comparison site selling

Filed Under Insurance Aggregators |

Insurance comparison site Bullhorn.co.uk is up for sale. Possibly. We’re not sure whether it’s a marketing exercise but they’ve got a press release out. Matt Johnson from Bullhorn gave us an exclusive by revealing the details in a comment on one of our posts. Matt, we’re waiting for your take on the story - answer your emails!

The story goes that they don’t have the cash to continue marketing. That hasn’t stoppped them bidding on Adwords though(!).

    Yeah - you guys should create a business’s for sale section - getcover.co.uk were asking for investment a few weeks ago as well.

    Been very quiet here lately, moneyexpert merrily sticking 2 fingers up at G, DP network spamming there way to positon 2 for car insurance - you have to wonder about Cutts - is he just full of hot air or what.

    Hey guys, we’ve also had coverage from Insurance Times too which includes a mini interview with Managing Director, Adil Khan.

    Also, I can assure everyone it’s not a marketing stunt - this is just an effort to make a good service better.

    To finish off my comment here I can disclose that Bullhorn is in talks for a £1M investment deal, and talks with several companies regarding a total buyout.

    For more information, email me: matt@bullhorn.co.uk

    But, just noticed theidol.com ranking high for “life insurance” - quick look and they seem to have acquired a lot of shady looking links - alot of Russian language sites!

    They also seem to have a lot of common links with one of endsleigh’s spam sites http://www.reducemyquote.com

    On the subject of emails! perhaps they were not getting through, not sure if you replied to mine ?

    Re my off topic post about russian links.

    It looks like all this is powered by TNX ads - they seem to be some sort of new link broker/scheme - anyone know anything about them?
