Comment on Harland Clarke Acquires RetailMeNot for $630Mparent

It actually started as RetailMeNot, a website run by two Australians. Whale shark media bought it, and then renamed their company to RetailMeNot. The website has always been RetailMeNot.com.

It started out as bugmenot, for sharing logins to web sites to deal with mandatory signups.

Yep. This is actually the secret to their (initial) SEO success.

That's really interesting. Can you elaborate?

ya know, thats exactly how I read the statement I quoted........
