Well findlaw which i assume is handling the marketing for Silver, Golub, and Teitella apparently understands domains. They run their site off lawyermarketing.com but call themselves FindLaw? I’m not sure how this applies but thought it was interesting and in the context of TheDomains.com

Silver, Golub and Teitella are wrong for using the name of a competitor to trigger ads. Not sure how much culpability Google assume. Because policing use of keywords would require a full time team of Google evaluators.

The responsibility rests mostly with the keyword purchaser to not exploit a known trademark.

DS you are right.

Google has money and probably a nice insurance plan.

Actually the lawyers are ONLY going after Google because they have MONEY. Google does nothing wrong, doesn’t anyone see that the lawyers are wrong? They are scared of competition! Why would someone want to know RIVAL competitors information, when they are searching for theirs? HMMM That sounds completely useless.

It actually is perfect sense, and has the consumer in mind by doing so. Google will win, and by censoring ads/results another search engine will come to fill their place. Just like P2P, just like everything on the internet.

Everyone is hungry during a credit crunch. I guess we should expect a slew of suites to hit goog in the near future.

I have to say though that something has to be done about this. I think goog overlooks to much today knowing they will be hit with lawsuits in the future. It’s a calculated risk they take because the up front profit is so big. This is the convenient route for the bottom line. The the entire adwords platform is a rip-off from Goto/Overture/Yahoo. They knew they would get sued for running CPC ads back in the day, but why not. The attitude is we’ll settle for $150 M now and build multi-billion dollar company in the mean time.

Ever spoken to an adwords rep on the phone? They are the lamest people on earth, they are so ignorant about CPC advertising, targeting, segmenting, etc. Once again this is convenient for goog because it ads to the bottom line. Keep the advertiser in the dark is the attitude.

Goog just a bunch of bullies. Last night as I was going to sleep I was thinking “hopefully Bing will be a good search engine” and it will take some market share from Goog.

“Don’t be Evil” (Unless it makes us a lot of money).

Nice to know that Google is fitting in nicely with the rest of our business leaders.
