Any foundation or a guess based on techniques, IBL and so on. Fret not, we know that Latitude work with Money Expert so it's not as though they'll get any more or less coverage on here and it's not as though they're an unknown to the insurance world which exposes any huge competitive advantage. @Rich, @Tom

Richard Overvold perhaps? The affiliate spammer who runs fundslender.co.uk? Among other nasty little parasite sites. Perhaps you should not be so outwardly vindictive to those who wish to conseal their identities. So Rich if you’re outing other people, who exactly are you? Richard Overvold perhaps?

Chooseinsurance are taking advantage of Google’s policing of paid links, in the same way that almost every other company occupying a top 20 positioning on 'car insurance' are too. You'll also remember that, at that time, my concerns were that Chooseinsurance's site was a basic affiliate site, but since their link up with Quotezone, their site now offers real value to the insurance consumer. @ Rich

DP ad network still working very well for various companies in the loans/cards/mortgages arena - namely moneyexpert, nortonfinance, moneyweb and powerseeker are the latest to use this tactic on "car insurance". Something has to give...... or does it. I find it very amusing though what Kevin talks about with gocompares strategy, especially as he was so vocal of chooseinsurance many months ago - Kevin what are you doing differently to them? Apart from pay per post blog entries!
