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".

  1. Google has a monopoly by anthony_dipierro · · Score: 1, Redundant

    on its PageRank technology. And just because you're not a monopoly doesn't mean you can engage in unfair trade practices. As for waiting for Google to turn evil, if they are punishing their competitors by intentionally lowering their results, I'd call that evil.

    What if slashdot refused to allow me to post on its site because I run SlashdotSucks? Don't you think that would be an unfair trade practice?
