NRMA Insurance’s SEO policy: Linking to us is forbidden

As a law-abiding citizen, Dr Mumbo of course always checks the terms and conditions of a website before using it.

So imagine the terror struck into his heart by the NRMA Insurance website. If you want a quote, you have to agree that a string of activities are verboten.

The first few are sensible enough. Until you have to promise that you won’t disseminate any data from the site. Which immediately means that Dr Mumbo sadly can’t tell his mates about the brilliant quote he got.

And even more sadly, Dr Mumbo won’t be able to even take up the brilliant offer. He agreed not to accumlate the info, and now he’s compared a few other sites, he can’t remember what NRMA Insurance quoted him anyhow as he thought he’d better not write it down.

So in that case, of course Dr Mumbo wouldn’t dream of linking to the NRMA Insurance site. Because that’s prohibited.

The NRMA Insurance SEO team must love that.
