    Google Sued Over Lowering Company?s Ranking

    Kinderstart.com, a parental advice site, has filed a lawsuit against Google for unfairly lowering it?s ranking without a reason or warning. They claim that in March of 2005 their site fell in the ranking and as a result had lost 70% of it?s traffic and about 80% decline in revenue. As a result they seek financial damages as well as details about Google?s ranking algorithm.

        everyone and their momma is trying to get a slice of google pie as of late

        Often times I wonder why
        There's love and hate, theres live or die.
        When sickness comes I must decide:
        When feelings go, theres suicide.

                I think the idea kicks ass, lol...

                One could argue that they at least deserve some kind of explanation why google thinks their site is nolonger a good site to send parents to for advice, no?

                I think its a cool idea

                      Sounds ridiculous on the face of it, but I would like to see the complaint.

                        mouhahahaah , fucking idiots , so , in the end google was giving you FREE visitors and thus creating some nice revenue for you


                        you never had any sort of contract or agreement with google, your site just ended up in the system and was given good result


                        now that same system that gave you the good result now gives that good result to some other site in the same way you originally got it

                        hmmm, ? sue ? who and for what ? ? ?

                        fucking idiots

                              Well I don't have any reason to sue Google. But I'm gonna do it anyway.

                                Couldn't have said it better.

                                I really wonder what goes through the (small) minds of these people sometimes. Stupidity aside...I can only imagine the PR result of a dumbass lawsuit against Google.

                                Oh yeah - I'd definitely want to deal with a company stupid enough to attempt a stunt like this.
