Based on the purchase price there must be a long term goal of returning their investment. I wouldn’t doubt that insurance.com is the most valuable website.

This domain was purchased for about $50 million and based on the traffic figures its probably earning between $100-$200k per month MAX. Under a quinstreet mgt with their sales/marketing resources Im guessing they could double those rev figures...maybe Were do you guys get these radical $10-20 per click figures?

No matter how great the name is, if you mortgage it to death and don't run it properly catches up with you. It’s possible as some are suggesting that Insurance.com was mismanaged.

Where have you parked it or is it a developed site, that generated $50 per click ? >>>Sometimes the single click can be $50….insurance traffic is awesome!<<<

RKB, I got some geo insurance names, the highest for a single click I got is $10.

Where have you parked it or is it a developed site, that generated $50 per click ?

It did not make any kind of disclosure, other than the required filing with Ohio regulators to say it planned the mass layoff of Insurance.com staffers. The lack of an 8k means the transaction was tiny in the total scheme of things for a company with a market cap of $560m. The guesses of $50m or more are way too high. This was a troubled company with investors who wanted out. Quinstreet smelled blood and picked up a bargain.

I am 100 percent positive. I know PE firms that backed out. Only the website/domain sold. The huge policy base is still not sold. Quinstreet would not spend 100m on this. @BJ.
