[NA-Discuss] Resend of: GOOGLE SUED FOR SELLING INADEQUATE ADS

[Jeffrey A. Williams]

All,

  Seems yet again Google has decided to hoist upon users more
nonsense/shanagans.

  Vint, perhaps in your evanglissm role, you can impress upon
Mr. Schmidt that such behavior is not a healthy thing and should
be discontinued forthwith.  Thank  you for your efforts in this
regard in advance, and I am hopeful that you will be succesful
in addressing this problem with a cease of these activities as
the only vaable and proper resolution.

See:
On July 11th, attorney Hal K. Levitte sued Google for selling
low-quality
advertisements on parked domains and error pages. Levitte advertised his

legal services using Google’s programs last year. 15.3% of his ad
campaign
was taken up by parked domains, which are web pages with automated links

related to a predetermined search keyword. Levitte had 202,528
impressions
on parked domain pages, with 668 clicks and zero conversions. For the
lack
of results, Levitte sued Google for fraud, business code violations, and

unjust enrichment. The lawsuit was filed as a class action, as Levitte’s

attorneys hope to represent others in the same situation. Just six days
later, on July 17th, RK West, a company that does business as Malibu
Sales, sued Google for the same reasons as Levitte. The second complaint

alleges that Google uses ads on parked domains to launder “invalid
clicks”
on websites that have no content. The complaint claims that because
Google
charges customers for every click, regardless of validity, it benefits
from the ads on parked domains while the customer does not. The RK West
complaint may be found at
