Quinstreet picks up online education lead gen site.
Lead generation company Quinstreet (NASDAQ: QNST) has acquired the web site and domain name OnlineEducation.com.
I can’t find any mention — nor a price — for the acquisition in Quinstreet’s SEC filings.
But the seller was BigLeads.com, which bought the domain name on eBay for $100,000 back in 2009.
The whois record for OnlineEducation.com changed between May 19 and June 2, according to historical whois records at DomainTools.
Intriguingly, the site’s Terms of Service show a last update of May 17, 2011, despite the terms referring to Quinstreet.
Some of Quinstreet’s previous acquisitions include:
CarInsurance.com for $49.7 million in 2010
Insurance.com for $35.6 million in 2010
Insure.com for $16 million in 2009
Jeff Edelman says
It will be very interesting to hear what QuinStreet paid for it. The site isn’t very popular now, but it could and should be. I’d expect QuinStreet to make it a very popular site that produces major revenue.
