multiple univers(e)s
Mar 19^th, 2011, 7:52pm

So, I was on my friend's computer and I went to go to GCU and I forgot the "e" when I typed in greetingcardunivers.com, and a greeting card site came up (not ours!) It looks to be run by or sponsered by harlmark. At first I thought it was us, with a new homepage as I had not been there in a while. Doesn't this seem like some kind of fraud? GRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! Angry

Was this the one? http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/univers/greeting+cards Quite legit for them to do so but perhaps a little sneaky if intended on purpose. They don't have a lot on offer though.

GCU did get a new front page about a month or so ago, are you sure it wasn't us ?

These cards that came up on the Fine Art America site are from folks on THAT site who used "univers(e)" in their key words on artwork offered for sale there. Similar to a GCUer using "fine art" in ones keywords.

So I think that it is a internet marketing portal.

Same link as I mentioned. This is not a separate site. Look under the big GreetingCardUnivers.com you see Inquire about this domain name.

This IS NOT a greeting card store, it's a LANDING PAGE for a un-assigned domain name with sponsored shopping links that are only search results based on greeting card.

No threat, no competition, no store...it's called DOMAIN PARKING
