How would you respond if you had paid Google $136.11 for advertising that appeared not on quality sites like The New York Times, but on parked domains and error pages? If you were lawyer Hal Levitte, you might file a federal lawsuit in California over Google's behavior and then seek class-action status for the claim.
That's exactly what Levitte did on July 11, when his lawyer filed a complaint against Google (first reported by Information Week). The complaint, a copy of which was provided to Ars Technica, argues that Google is guilty of "unjust enrichment" by promising high-quality ad placements and then serving a substantial portion of ads on low-quality sites.
Is Google's halo beginning to slip? After all, it is not just about Google making billions, but also giving value for money. I would be pretty angry too. Who goes to parked sites? Not me!
I'm thinking there was nothing intentionally but accidental. Every adwords user is having right to manage the sites for content network advertising and others products over Google. If someone is selecting newyork times content network for advertising and it is quite obvious that ads will be run on all pages of the selected site, either errors pages (if exist) or business pages.
