Google sued for adsense fraud

A would-be AdSense customer is suing Google for $250,000 because it took her 100 hours to place and review AdSense advertisements on her Web site, which Google subsequently removed, Google Watch has learned.
...Once the code was placed, Bradley asked Google to remove several competing AdSense advertisements, as per the AdSense user agreement.
According to the complaint, Google then completely removed AdSense from Bradley's site and accused Bradley of violating AdSense policies by fraudulently clicking on advertisements.
Bradley denied clicking on the ads except to verify that the advertisers were not selling competing products.
...According to the complaint, Bradley's brief business relationship with Google caused her irreparable harm by damaging her reputation and the reputation of her products and services.

The caption under the pic of the gal suing them?

Dr. Theresa Bradley, Psy.D./JD, corporate psychology expert for Halliburton and seller of soft support jog bras.

Funniest damn thing I've seen in awhile.

Bahahahahaha

She needs to sue "her staff" for being imcompetent. Those sites suck!

[iPod]

That is funny. She admits to click the ads on her website just to see if they belonged to the competitors. Ha Ha

[checksum]

Wow... honestly what a stupid woman. I can't wait for Google to own her in court.

You're right, "Untitled Document" all over the place...

And the article on blueberriesamen.html?
http://www.google.com/search?q=Here+...in+medicine%2E

Cut and paste article...

No wonder the war is costing so much... and is taking so long.

Halliburton hires idiots. see: hxxp://bravacorp.com/projects.html

It is worth noting that those are "Illustrative Clients" and "Sample Projects". I also noted the dupe content.

I put some additional comments in my blog when I did the story. But something is definitely odd about this one, and Google doesn't really have that much to worry about with this one IMO.

Heights of stupidity

What a crap site it is.. I wonder how she got her account activated..

[qwestcommunications]

Wow! Clicking on her own ads and then suing google.

[Paprik]

she never read the TOS, really. haha

[qwestcommunications]

Are the lawyers seriously going to consider taking this to court?

[seoindiaweb]

Lol.. thats funnny hahahah

Sorry folks, beyond all of the things wrong with her site, there's even more wrong with the story - I believe the entire thing is BS.



So I post that with a story and it's suppose to be authentic?

Even if it is true, it's just a damned publicity stunt. Did no one else notice any of the alphabet after her name? JD = juris doctorate.

Come on, if her client list is anywhere near legit, she could've afforded better than ipowerweb, stolen content and images, and a yahoo email for contact.

2 doctorate degrees (pyschology and law) and she writes like that?

Beyond the fact that most of the claims in the alleged lawsuit are pointless - Google doesn't remove competive ads for you - you set the filter!

Again, IF this is legit, she's just going for publicity and trying to raise some desperate cash for her wellness center http://www.bravacorp.com/bravacenterwellbeing.html where no doubt she'll be serving up some Jim Jones Kool-Aid

Bradley also filed suit against Yahoo on August 1 in San Jose federal district court. Those documents were not available at the time of this writing. A Yahoo representative declined to comment.

In a few hours, I'll be calling the APA to see if this is even a legit person

[haentz]

Muahaha... Must have been a funny day over at Google's legal department

For real.. I wonder if that's not some kind of PR stunt. But you never know... People can be really weird

Best regards, Hans

Sounds like someone found a way to pay for her PhD education.

"Halliburton" "+bra"...

If you say so.

[gretel]

Hey now ... careful

Her blondeness is likely from a bottle, and the chemicals have obviously contaminated her brain

[wentworth]

She is not going too far I don't think.

I wonder if she is using gmail, and google talk and google calendar. she better uninstall them if so.
otherwise google may see her legal strategies/plans.
