Agreed, if the average-user only knew how prevalent this is. We're an e-commerce site and constantly feel in the minority for not buying links exactly like JCP did. Almost all of our top competitors do the exact same thing and have gotten away with it for as long as I can remember. The only reason we don't is being too afraid of the supposed "wrath" that doesn't ever seem to come to them (that is unless you can get a NYT article written about it).
