I don't know where I stand on this lawsuit, but it will have a ripple effect, IMO, on web-based advertising and search engines. When this decision is made, it will be substantial for e-commerce.

Google sued

Thoughts?

Just a guess. I don't think Googl will fight to hard. May just want to settle with out all the cost of a long battle. But it is interesting to say the least. This has to be touching on new ground.

My first thought is that they would fight it. They could lose a ton of revenue if they have to limit the keywords that companies can pay to advertise for. We use Google Adwords as our main source of advertising, and we have small bids on a couple of our competitor's names--as do some of our competitors have bids on our name.

Take a couple of bucks per month from all of your advertisers and your looking at a substantial shift in revenue. Another example is since some of our competitors have bids on our name, we have to bid higher to make sure we stay on the top of the list in the Adwords section. Once again, driving revenues up.

Good info I was wondering just how some of that worked. Your explanation tells me they may fight hard as hell.
