Google Sued over Page Ranking

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-i-wanna-be-ranked-higher dept.

OrangeHairMan writes "Google.com is being sued by SearchKing.com because Google "purposefully devalued his companies' and his customers' web sites, causing his business to suffer financially." There's a page on SearchKing.com's site too." Does anyone besides me find this hilarious? My favorite part is that the name of the site is "Search King".

    Go to http://www.google.com/linux and type in "windows". I'm really wondering whether the first hit is here as an eastern egg or not ;)

    I'm suing this "Search King" for copyright infringment. I don't know what else I should sue him under, but he is blatently stealing MY idea for success.

    I'm suing so-called "Best Buy" because they are devaluing my business "Buy King". Not only did this JERK steal my business name, but he stole my whole business plan.

    As they say in the trade: Whoops!

    The poster said it would be "one up from the bottom" because he was being charitable, and envisioning a scenario where, e.g. q.bottom = 10, and 10 is the worst rank you can have (presumably 1 or 0 being the best), which is different to the system mentioned in the story.

    So (q.bottom - 1) is 9, which is one up from the bottom.

    However, if as you stridently claim, the bottom rank is 1, then q.bottom-1 is 0, which is meaningless. It certainly isn't 2, unless you've overloaded the binary minus operator.

    Hmm...

    I sued /. for not automatically modding my posts higher. Then I realized they did (+2 bonus) and lost my shirt.

    Anyone else reminded of that time when Homer became the Plow King?

    Moreover, it looks like Search King stole their "go" button from about.com a while ago. No very professional if you ask me.
