Google should be only a small part of website promotion. TRUE that Google think they are All you need but the fact is that a much broarder promotion base is an ongoing requirement. This is something that requires regular attention and monitoring. Without preaching to thr converted there are many other engines out there and Google for one uses them as reference, a well built site no matter what the experience of the administrator will usually get a look in. bye tez.

Google may have become a bit too successful for its own good, because people are beginning to rely on it almost as they would a utility. It's possible that in the future, search engines will be regulated much as telecommunications companies and power companies are.

It should behave with exemplary fairness to all who use its system. Although, as Matt Cutts demonstrates time and again, sites that are thrown off Google usually have hundreds of hidden keywords buried in the code.

They're essentially admitting they've based their entire revenue model around Google traffic-- which means they're also dependant on Google's general success and popularity, regardless of page rank. Even if we toss the whole lawsuit issue out entirely, that should be enough to cause them embarassment. "I didn't market my service, and now I'm doing poorly." I wouldn't be broadcasting that to the world if I ever made such a rookie mistake. Agreed.

It'll get them some traffic, but not the traffic that I think they'll be wanting.. or that they can monetize. ~Matt I agree, it’s one of the dumber lawsuits that I’ve ever seen.

And I'm a lawyer. The sense of entitlement these days is ridiculous, and there's always a shyster just waiting to take the case. What are the arguing, that Google is now a public utility instead of a private company? God forbid KinderStart simply learn a valuable lesson -- don't put all your eggs in the search engine basket. But in truth, this isn't about winning a lawsuit. The reality is, this is a publicity stunt to try to build back the traffic that they lost. I hope it backfires on them.
