Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    bh.georedirector.akadns.net
Address:  127.0.0.1
Aliases:  www.compusa.com, compusa.syx.com.akadns.net

Normally I'd say that's a DNS config screwup, which would make them
unreachable (since their website is not on my system).  However,
Google seems to be able to reach them if you use the "site preview"
option in the search results :
http://www.google.com/search?q=www.compusa.com

Curious.
