On the other hand Last year, we noted the latest in a long string of lawsuits from companies who were suing Google because they didn’t like how Google ranked their sites in search results. The arguments were weak from the beginning and none of the cases have gone very far, so it’s no surprise to see that in this latest case, filed by a company called KinderStart, the judge hasn’t just tossed out the suit, but called it frivolous and demanded that KinderStart pay Google’s legal fees. The judge then goes on to berate KinderStart’s lawyer for the charges he filed. On one set of charges, the judge noted: “they are factually baseless and because (KinderStart attorney Gregory) Yu failed to perform an adequate investigation before filing them.” On another: “Yu had a professional responsibility to refrain from filing such allegations if he did not have appropriate supporting evidence.” It sounds like a case where the company (and its lawyer) just tossed up any charge they could think of hoping that either something would stick or Google would just fold and settle. However, the basic fact remains: Google is a private company and can rank your site however they feel is appropriate. If your ranking sucks (or if Google removes your site because it felt you were spamming) that may not be good for you, but it’s certainly not illegal.
