Company tries to sue Google for being penalized

March 24, 2006 · Filed Under Google 

Poor Google! At times, you just got to feel sort of sorry for them. Now that they are mega-successful and a major player in the online economy, they have also become a target for every wacko, wierdo, crook and scumbag out there hoping to make a quick buck!

I just read (on Search Engine Roundtable) that:

“Late Friday news came down that Google has been sued by KinderStart.com, a parental advice site, for being demoted in the search rankings. KinderStart is trying to create a class action lawsuit for all Web site owners who have been blacklisted by Google since January 2001.”

Geeze, what a pathetic attempt at getting some free publicity. I am quite sure they are hoping all the other google whingers, haters & complainers out there will jump on the bandwagon and put their hand up to join a frivilous class action.

America TRULY IS the land of the lawsuit in preference to taking responsibility for one’s actions.

While I don’t worship Google or anything silly (hey, some of my sites don’t get much action from Google, but I don’t bitch about it), I just am blown away with how many moaners & complainers there are out there, blaming Google for all their woes.

For pete’s sake people, let’s get a grip on reality here and remember that there are plenty of other SEs to optimise for AS WELL AS offline marketing.

The way I look at it, ANY free traffic I get from Google, Yahoo & MSN is a gift, not a right! If I don’t like them, I can take my site/s out of their indexes, and I am welcome to find other ways to get traffic to my site, just the same as the offline world does now and has done for hundreds of years!

Grow up all you babies and deal with it!!! :-)
