Google Avoids Another Lawsuit

Google Avoids Another Lawsuit Over Rankings Roberts v. Google, the "first legitimate complaint vs google regarding search result issues," was dismissed after Google threatened  to file an anti-SLAPP motion against Mark Roberts.

Roberts is a proprietor of two e-commerce websites. He was claiming breach of contract as Google's add URL feature and help pages formed a promise that his pages should be top ranked. They were in 2003 but later dropped. He still considers his pages to be most relevant.

Anti-SLAPP motion is a means of effectively getting the court to agree that the case is without merit and recovering costs. However, an earlier case of similar nature, that was summarily discarded as non-sensical continues even after Google has proceeded with anti-SLAPP motion.
