Penny's From Heaven (or Not)

[Bannerday]

Don't know how many have heard about J.C. Penny's getting caught over the weekend gaming Google's search results.

Heard the NYT reporter who broke the the story on the radio last night. He said he was tipped off, not by a Penny's competitor but by somebody in the "sign industry" who
is into SEO.

So who wants to take credit for showing up Google?

Please, one of you guys take credit, so I don't have to wonder if it was Vistaprint. I want them to get credit for nothing.

DNRTFA: Guess they were the best optimized.. no problem there right? I mean, isn't that what everyone is trying to do when they "optimize"?

RTFA: ohhhh... they used parked domains.. good one!
