- soda0289, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6So is the artical saying that Yahoo pays to place ads on Google?
- crilen007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4You left that one a little empty.. what happened with the Coke and Pepsi thing?
- seenthefuture, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It's about competitors bidding on each others trademark names. So, when you google "lovecity" you don't have other dating sites pop up as sponsored ads. It also raises your costs, having to compete bids on your own name.

- EdBoy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If it is, that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?
It really is too bad that money is controlling every aspect of the Internet nowadays. : - gukid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3This is a pretty good (and pathetic) example of what would have happened without net neutrality. It's too bad that google had to be the one to set it...
Though, they must have been pretty quick to remove the ads, because I can't see anything other than www.lovecity.com as being the first search term, and no such ads from yahoo, lavalife, etc. - TheComputerMutt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, it reeks of idiocy.
- djgump35, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would say who cares, but it does go against what google was built on, but I still kinda say who cares, when it doesn't find what I want I will just go somewhere else.
- LilBambi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Once the new must carry takes effect in legislation ... they will all be carrying each other's ads...this type of lawsuit will be unheard of ... the reverse will be true.
*sigh* - KF6BBL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I believe this suit is about a biz buying their competitors name for adwords. For example, if American Airlines puts out an adwords campaign, and then used United and Delta as keywords. It may be a violation of trademark laws if AA put the words United and Delta right in the ad text, but what if they only used them as keywords?
There is already precedent for this, search for Google vs. Geico, where Google was sued by accepting money for selling "geico" as a keyword to other insurance companies. Google won.
If you follow SEO sites, this also sets the standard to make sure you are buying your own company name, so if you competitor starts doing this at least you come up on the ads, and not just them. - Kurtab, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's like that time Coke used a Pepsi can in a commercial with Jackie Chan. Except this time it's a few money grubbing dating sites using each others names in ads well wait they aren’t using their names they are umm using each others names behind the scenes. Would this be different if Google categorized the search results? Wait I know it’s like when a Cop movie by Time Warner is advertised on a Cop show produced by Warner Brothers.
- BlueSpider66, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Who the hell cares if a company buys a key word on a search engine, its called marketing.
- esoteric0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0anybody else notice that *****.com is down? i smell a conspiricy...
