Other Info:

The owners of this site are actively promoting it via PPC ads on the Yahoo Ad network, appearing in top postion in the right hand column next to the search results:

This is another example of a new site with rather explosive traffic spike due to PPC marketing, even more apparent than the previous example.


That's a lot of PPC clicks.

The funny stupid thing is, these guys are apparently in a legal fight with Chase over a site that 'exposes' apparent fraud / issues related to Chase accounts. And at the same time they pull this crap on people. Good luck with that lawsuit.
