Press Release Summary: Four major UK insurance brands join Maxymiser for content
optimisation through multivariate testing

Press Release Body: London, UK 4 September 2007.

Comparethemarket.com and three other major online insurance brands have enlisted
Maxymiser\'s content intelligence for a comprehensive programme of optimisation. By
anticipating the content that visitors want to see, the brands will benefit from
greater returns from existing traffic. comparethemarket.com, Budget Insurance,
Bennetts and ibuyeco are included in the 12-month deal with the BGL Group.

Clients in the travel, entertainment, retail, recruitment industries plus a major
high street bank have launched optimisation campaigns in recent months. They join a
growing tide of companies looking to increase returns from visitors in light of the
rising cost of good quality traffic from sources such as pay per click.

\"With content intelligence, we are moving towards an online world where websites
instantly recognise visitor requirements and automatically serve appropriate
content, increasing the likelihood of turning a browser into a buyer.\" commented
Mark Simpson, Managing Director, Maxymiser.

Steve Bone, Senior E-Commerce Manager at the BGL Group commented: \"We selected
Maxymiser for their enthusiasm about optimising online performance and the
technologies they have behind them. We look forward to seeing a conversion rate
uplift on these four key B2C brands in this highly competitive market.\"

Maxymiser\'s clients use automated multivariate testing and segmentation technology
to optimise content for groups of visitors dependant upon off-site factors and drive
more revenue. More relevant content makes for more visitors converting to customers.
