How many comparison sites are there?

Does anyone know how many price comparison companies there are out there? I got an email from a friend recommending http://energysaveruk.com (she has finally moved away from npower! 
) which seems to use Energy Helpline for their quotes, but it got me thinking.
How about making a list of all the comparison sites we can find just to see how many there actually are. I know that energy companies pay big money for switchers so I can see why people want in on the action, but just how big is this market?
Let's find out!

They should all give the same results. Martin decided to only recommend the ones that offer MSE users a slice of the commission they earn in the form of cashback (or amazon vouchers or free wine, etc)
There's a good half dozen in Martin's article to choose from, why look for any others?

However there are many other comparison websites entered through newspapers etc:
This is from the Daily Mail:
BeatThatQuote.com Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy
It probably uses the same database as one of the other websites.0 -
The mere existence of these comparison sites (compounded by the sheer number of them) is just another example of the folly of privatisation. But, as Van Morrison once famously sang, it's too late to stop now.0
