I'm looking for some information about Quinstreet. They have long been considered one of the larger more successful lead generation companies, but certain rumors have floated suggesting that they might not be as invincible and their strong-arm legal tactics often seem. I have been guilty of perhaps giving them too much credit in their non-edu based lead businesses.
Certainly, they must be looking at the market and looking for a substantial exit. Will they get it? Should they? Email or comment here. I will not reveal the source.
Topline growth flattening, margin compression, and continued street concern about reliance on a limited number of clients/verticals has limited their options recently.

Heard a whisper today that management was seeking a $1.5 bil. valuation early next year. We'll see if performance picks up / holds up.

Any comments on how Quinstreet works with Advertising.com?

Wow. Online advertising. Doesn't get any sleazier than that, does it?
