Cashback site advice please

I am very new to this concept. It seems to be dotted all over these forums and I haven't time to read through everything.
Can people give me a quick response on who they would recommend or particular threads to read.
I have obviously been missing out quite a bit....recently got post office car insurance and opened vaious A & L accounts and credit cards and I gather I could have got extra money via cashback sites. Keen to go ahead but with who?

    In my person exprience Quidco seems about the best the first £5 you earn goes to them but after that you earn 100% of any refferal bonuses they get some other companys only pay out 50%

    http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ seems better overall so far in my opinion which give 100% everything your way and no yearly fee. It's best concentrating your effort on one choice of cashback to reach the targets, but obviously do take the others into consideration as to whats gonna get you the most cash back, especially with bigger purchases where a £5 yearly fee could be better to pay in that transaction for the extra % quidco might offer.

    as an "independent" ( I don't use any of the cashback sites but have read through all the referral thread stuff in the past ) Quidco seem the best one,good casback rates and easy payments

    The big savings seem to be on things like insurance. £80 cashback for car insurance, £60 for home from Lloyds TSB. Can make vast savings.

    Martin's article discussing internet shopping and cashback sites would be a great place to start. :)

    Quidco hands down. I have generated over £1000 of cashback in under 12 months. Mainly casino/gambling sites. However just got the Tesco phone and Post office car insurance offers for another £80.
