    Wow! You are right.... I compete with them in a couple of areas and they are gone.

    Too much cross linking is my bet.

    Their link profiles usually consist of affiliate links, and "relevant sites" that are built for seo purposes.

    This had to be manual.

    If it was algorithmic, csn stores would be experiencing the same

    Even when it is manual I love seeing Google smack down poor quality sites or sites just breaking the Google guidelines to try to hack the algo.

    I am very pleased with how Google has been going after the 'pay tp play' types lately. And IMO the SERPS have improved from a user standpoint as a result.

    I noticed this yesterday when their site moved outta my way.

    I spent 30 minutes checking at least 15 of their sites this morning, and saw the same thing.

    1 of them, was at # 45 & JC PENNEY was at #46 for the same query.

    lol
