Not so fast, some advertisers are crying–while shouting "wolf" at the same time.
Recent lawsuits have targeted Google for a) placing the ads on parked domains to start with and b) placing the ads on sites with URLs that allegedly violate trademarks and copyrights (such as bedbathandbeyondcom.com).
The latest to join the legal fray is an Illinois firm named JIT Packaging, which accuses Google of placing its ads on "low-quality" sites that produce few if any conversions.
(My favorite parked domain is gamil.com, which I land upon everytime I misspell Google’s gmail.com. However, never I am ever tempted to hit a link or an ad on a parked domain, which I guess helps prove the "low-qualityk" portion of the legal argument.)
Google reportedly had no comment over the latest lawsuit.
