I noticed this a few weeks back when checking our links and wondered ‘why on earth is this linking to us?’. I haven’t raised this with our SEO Company as we are just about to change them." Funny how Kevin was so shocked in April 07, yet 6 months later the links are still up and account for half of GoCompare's backlinks in Yahoo! They obviously were deemed to work by the new SEO company? @Kevin “RE: Watching America. I noticed this a few weeks back when checking our links and wondered ‘why on earth is this linking to us?’.

It strikes me that there is a lot of bitchiness on this site from those who are simply envious of the dollars that roll from top spot for [car insurance] on Google in today's UK insurance market.

I have noticed this post and though i should shed a little light on the subject. Quotezone.co.uk appeared on choose insurance for a short time and had a good review (deservedly too as we are a good insurance comparison site!). We contacted the owners and negotiated a deal to put a branded version of the quotezone engine on the website shortly after seeing good quality traffic coming from the choose insurance site. The post suggests that choose insurance was built up by spam tactics, however, all I could see them doing was building links and blogging - which is pretty much the same SEO practice that all companies use these days (just check backlinks in the top 10 for car insurance to see what I mean). Co-branding of sites is also common practice these days in the insurance industry with many household names doing the same thing and having a number of brands. Obviously, its in our interests to get more traffic, and while it benefits us, we also feel that it benefits the consumer to see an aggregator engine ranking highly so that they can compare quotes. We do make it clear on the quote engine that it is powered by quotezone so the consumer should not be confused by this. Hi – Im the Director of Seopa Ltd, the company who own quotezone.co.uk.

How much of a small fortune is that costing you??!! @Kevin

I've heard many stories of people throwing £20k here or £30k there per month and getting very little in return. In my opinion, SEO companies who quote that sort of figure are taking advantage of the uneducated many (usually a traditional marketing manager). Unfortunately, because we both work within the realms of insurance, recommending you a good SEO company would be shooting myself in the foot ...got to protect the day job!! Would it be of use if we put a post together for everyone to discuss how they go about finding a good SEO company and what tricks they use to trip them up under examination? @Kevin
