    What is KinderStart anyway? I searched for it, and it seems that there are plenty of results completely unrelated to the plaintiff.
    The real proof in the pudding is how other engines handle it. MSN, Yahoo and even Webcrawler (who has horrid URLS now) list it as the top result. They may be gaming results (since when do kids need NASDAQ?). Despite their cheery presentation, they are a for-profit company as far as I can tell. Google may have cought them doing something fishy. From what their press release page has, they have an activity gap of four years or so, so the pageRank theories people have proposed might have weight as well. I guess we'll find out eventually.

  15. Kinderstart is a typical links-only page by ZWithaPGGB · · Score: 2, Insightful · on Suing Google Over Pagerank

    In the melee here, has anyone actually looked at Kinderstart's Webpage?
    They seem to me to be a cybersquatter-esque colection of links, with no real content. Seems to me that Google did the world a favor by deprecating their listing.
    My guess is that all of their revenue was from click-throughs. Google is doing the world a favor by not putting other directories on their first page. We go to Google to get content, not link-lists.
    I predict that they will lose in court, if their page is entered as evidence.
    Remember, Google is about providing relevant content, to their users (people who search), and click through to their advertisers. I'm not exactly sure how Kinderstart has any standing here, unless there is an implied contract, which I strongly doubt.

    What if you need to run a second web server, and 80/tcp is already occupied, and you don't want ssl? 8080/tcp it is

    Kinderstart's Thawte certificate expired 3 months before their stated problems began. They use 8080 for ZOPE login:
    So there's probably not much of a chance that 'g00gle' is the password for their open management.

    For the lazy, the link to the website whose design truely sucks.

    If I wanted to find some information on what they do it would be tough navigating through that. Good website design skills: provide information as quickly as possible, seem to have been misplaced.

    But they don't really do anything, other than linking other sites. They're a link site, plain and simple. Probably harvesting click through revenue and add little value to the internet. And on a wild guess here, since a year ago, using the same search parameters, I have had many less 'link sites' coming up in Google searches which I see as only a good thing. Ironically they may well find the sites they link to through Google.
