Ok it's not Forbes, but it's still a fairly decent site.

from the article:
"However, because Bitcoin transfers are anonymous and untraceable, its use has also been associated with illegal and black market activities. Whether Bitcoin can function as a viable currency for consumers remains to be seen."

How is this good press?

For now.  If the trend (which looks strikingly like bitcoin price) continues it won't be long until this forum is less relevant than that unknown site.

"gobankingrates.com" isn't "press".  It's a scraper site for a lead generation service. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ConsumerTrack_Inc)

Cool ;D

Isn't that potentially more interesting though than just press as that could mean it looks like we're being assessed/ looked into as a potential investment target?

Yeah and if pigs had wings they could fly, but it's irrelevant.
