Google faces another Lawsuit for "Unwanted Ads"

Lawyers representing an American private detective now claim hundreds of thousands of companies, which registered to advertise on Google, may have been hoodwinked into paying for unwanted ads. The private detective has further opened a legal action against the search engine giant, and his attorneys desires the proceedings to become a class action that could price the company millions of dollars if he becomes successful.

David Almeida said he signed up his firm, Bay State Detective Agency, as an advertiser on Google in 2006 – one of millions of small businesses, which have found a cheap means of aiming advertising at people who are authentically searching for their services (ads). However, he wanted the ads to come only on Google’s own site, not the thousands of other websites, from MySpace to personal blogs, on which Google serves up the ads.
