Google crap!!!

Google can bury it?s competition deep down but claiming it to be like ?Coke wanting space on Pepsi bottles? but it cries foul when MS defaults IT?S browser to IT?S search engine even when there is an easy way to switch, it didn?t also like the fact the IE7 list available search engines alphabetically. Google is probably the most hypocritical company on earth.

[gggg sssss]

Clue

They coudl always rely on another search engine - Altavista for instance

competition? yeah right

competition to Google? how can stupid Kinderstart be compared to Google? that's ignorant.

Google doesn't just blacklist sites for the hell of it. they violated Google's TOS... period. not much else needs to be said.

KinderStart is a list. Whats worse, its a closed list, you apply and if they wish they add you. How do they do that? Whichever way I'm sure it is completely subjective. Google is also subjective, they rank listers low. They supply no INFORMATION about the search term and its relevant information that will get you a high ranking.

I visited their page when I first heard of this suit a while back. There is no link to request being added to thier site. There is a link to advertise which gives you an email address. At the top of thier page is a search box listing search engines in ascending alphabetic order except that in the drop down KinderStart is listed out of order and is first and is the default.

If thier existance depends on a google ranking, as it appears to do based on thier claim of lost hits, which must in turn relate to lost revenue, thats just tough luck. And a very poor business model to depend on one search engine for 80% of your profit(Kinders claim is a loss of 80% of thier traffic which must equate to about the same loss of profit).

As anyone who knows about business can tell you, if you rely on one main client for the larger part of your profit you are on shaky ground no matter how well you are doing. You lose that client and you go belly up.

Kinder start is listed low because of the fact they are just a lister, an advertiser of links. They should look for a better business model instead of wasting money on a lawsuit that should be thrown out.

When you search for "google" in kinderstart.com you find no results.

Kinderstart.com instead of legal action how about making your website more accesible for the search engines like google, so they can spider it better, index it better, resulting is better rankings? It is cheaper and probably more effective than the courts.

your right...
