Netquote...Say It Ain't So...

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

Affiliate story number 2,798.

Just got off the phone with someone who said he searched "File Unemployment Online," and the next thing he knows...he's getting a call from an agent wanting to give him a health insurance quote.

So I searched myself and found this site which leads to the following link:

File Unemployment Online

NQ's affiliate problem appears to be getting worse, not better.

Just my opinion, of course.

You say that like it is a bad thing . . .

Well...I don't know about "the next thing he knows...." This at least clearly states that he'll be getting health insurance quotes.

 

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

The point was...the search term he used and where he ended up. Not necessarily what was stated once he got there.

I'll have a full report on NQ coming up next month

True but this guy's still an ***. I mean really - if you were looking for information on Corvettes and saw a big ad "GET A LIFE INSURANCE QUOTE" would you really fill it out then be "shocked."

I had the samething, a lady went online to look for a puppy at a classified site and she filled out the health insurance form. I said "Didn't you think it was odd that they asked your height and weight" She said yes that was odd, but she's just looking for a puppy not health insurance. Also, I usually don't have two lead companies going at the sametime but about a month ago i had insureme and net quote leads coming in at the same time. I was getting the same leads from both companies, when i called insure me they told me yes they do send their leads over to netquote, i think the reason was there weren't many agents that insureme had for that particular zip and when that happens they send to net quote for quotes also

I had netquotes and insureme at the same time as well. NQ was always quick to credit me for leads that came through both sites. IM at first played dumb. Those leads were always grumpy. Thy would be getting calls from 7-10 agents. *Sigh* I'm preaching to the choir. It is what it is with lead companies...

Lead companies wholesale their "left over" leads to competitors.

Tat on inquirey? (How old was it?)

[CHUMPS FROM OXFORD]

Not much to say about it. I was on the phone with him for about 10 minutes. He talked a lot. I listened a lot.

Lead cost $7 and was not credited back (unless they change their mind).

Lead was less than 15 minutes old.

Single man in 60s.

Plenty of medical issues. Uninsurable.
