    A company suing Google over low page rankings has been given a chance to bolster its case, but the attempt to take on the search giant on behalf of all sites left behind appears to be an uphill battle.
    "We are pleased that Judge Fogel dismissed all of KinderStart's claims," Google said in a statement attributed to Michael Kwun, its senior litigation counsel.

    KinderStart, in Norwalk, California, operates a Web portal with links and a search box for information about raising young children. The company claims its site received a "zero" in Google's PageRank system, which is the basis of all of Google's Web search tools. As a result, it didn't show up in search results and KinderStart's business suffered, according to a complaint filed in April.
