Google sued

Posted by Bhumika Ghimire Mar 19, 2006

The news report says that, "KinderStart charges that Google without warning in March 2005 penalized the site in its search rankings, sparking a "cataclysmic" 70 percent fall in its audience -- and a resulting 80 percent decline in revenue.

At its height, KinderStart counted 10 million page views per month, the lawsuit said. "(CNN, 2006)

Google has not commented on this, but the company has defended its search ranking system and has said that it is justified in changing the ranking system to adapt to changing needs of its customers.
