Martin Lewis really has done a good job in growing his website, he has been open and honest and I think that has alot to do with his popularity.
Great work.
Very impressive! For Martin Lewis to have more searches than Barack Obama in a period just after the American elections is no mean feat. It also give you some insight in to the state of the UK economy.
