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".

    Massa is asking that the court grant preliminary and permanent injunctions against Google.

  3. Google actions cry out for government control by thelmatr · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google is so large, so good, and so dominant that outside of specific topic search engines, there is really no choice. As such, altering the ranking of a site on Google will affect the monetary valuation of a business tied to that site. Google management can be punitive (SearchKing) and can even censor (Scientology. That much power in the hands of an uncontrolled agency just cries to our government to be managed. SearchKing's suit might just turn the government's ear.
