Well another lawyer is not happy advertising with Google and claims the company committed “fraud, business code violations, and unjust enrichment.”

You can read the full story here over at information week.

He claims that he lost money due to Google showing his ads on parked domains and error pages which resulted in 0 conversions or leads for his firm. What did his losses amount to? A grand total of $136.11 …

Granted its not the amount and I understand where he’s coming from, but really. I give him less than a 1% chance of winning this lawsuit. It is kind of silly to blame Google for the type of advertisement it serves, the fault here lies with the advertiser more than anything. If you want to play the game, now the risks involved. Also, with the option now of placement targeting, you really can’t blame Google anymore. (Another reason to fire up the content network)

Did he not see the Adsense for domains page or read the adwords help center before turning his campaign on?

Yes, Google can improve the content network and we all know click fraud is alive and well, but if it was as easy as saying, “hey I got all these clicks and no conversions, give me my money back,” every advertiser would want a piece of that class action suit. I guess one solution would have two more check boxes to opt out of parked domains and error pages. Who knows?

I know I’ve been silent for awhile but I’m still in Korea and come back next week. So hope to post more regularly once Im back! It’s been a great trip and I’m recharged ready to pump out some more campagins! :)
