Default Bogus Sites

Often when I Google the name of a company, store, or service, instead of going directly to the site, I'm taken to a site that just gives the address and the telephone number. Then, I try another site with the same company name and it to also turns out to be phoney. Sometimes, it takes ten or fifteen minutes to locate the genuine company. I guess these fraudsters make money every time they get people to go to their fake sites.

I find the "Airmiles" website to be very slow and sluggish.

Why would you put a comma after the "and"?

Cheers

It is an American writing style. Brits don't use it typically.

Neither is incorrect.

The website in general, however, is all sorts of wrong!

Yikes! Makes me dizzy. Also notice the broken HTML(?) code towards the bottom.

I do like the bouncing shopping carts though.

Oops, that should be before the "and".
