A Boston lawyer has filed a class action lawsuit against search engine giant Google related to what ……

The 404 ads are a joke, though. Google preaches the gospel of good site building every day, and best practices would be creating a helpful/meaningful 404 page (or avoiding them in the first place). Making 404s into little billboards would seem to fly in the face of that.

Not cool at all. And I used to love Google but lately they are so evil they make me wish they never existed.

ignorance is not just cause sueing google.

I have a problem with them de-ranking sites for the type of content or being “riddled with ads”.., yet they will gladly supply a parked domain with nothing but a page full of ads.

I’m more on the publisher side than the advertiser side and one reason I think Google bans so many publishers so quickly is that they are obsessed with advertiser conversions.

Advertising, in the traditional sense is about “brand recognition” and Google opened the Pandora’s box of evil by pushing the internet advertising envelope into Adwords customers heads and making them think a successful campaign is based entirely on conversions.

It is ridiculous to me that this lawyer is not smart enough to work an Adwords acct but he can pass the bar exam. If I were ever a client to him I would dump him bcoz he his stuipd idiot.

We have seen it in Yahoo, Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Walmart and all kinds of big companies.

It will be interesting to see how the case is settled.

I think the government really needs to step in and put some regulations on Google regarding their advertising programs’ transparency. They have been getting away with murder for so long they problably thin they’re teflon like John Gotti, but look what happened to him.

“I think the government really needs to step in and put some regulations on Google regarding their advertising programs’ transparency.”

“I think the Government…” What? No, lets not involve the Government.. Besides, how shall we regulate the internet and ‘Google’ with restrictions on an International level?

Until we have a ‘One World’ Government then the Internet is free territory… The New frontier… The wild, wild west.

I like the complexities of the Internet. Considering, that if we are to make Laws Governing a ‘Place’, it must be with in defined parameters. Actually, the Internet poses other problems such as, does the internet truly exist?

We cannot define it’s limits or borders… So, we cannot Govern what we cannot define.

Google knows that they ‘can’ get away with just about anything as long as any of their questionable dealings remain in the uncharted regions of cyberspace.

Shall we allow Google to get away with their Monopoly in cyberspace?

No.

People in have the right to choose… Simply, quite using Google and their empire will begin to crumble.

This all may be terribly off subject with the entire blog but is in issue with subject matter for sure.

In the past 99-01 you could find legit sites and research based on your defining term now its a bunch of crap results bsed on idividuals using to con you to their site… Goog is still the best but its turning downward.

Another thing I constantly hear about is the question of whether or not Google gives preference to advertisers in search results, since they claim they of course, do not. Many people have told me otherwise, but I’d like to believe Google is doing their part on this one.
