What would the lawsuit be? WE would have to show standing, no problem there. Damages, no problem there. Discovery would be interesting to say the least. Is it fraud? Is it criminal? What would be the charges? Is it lieing to the public, other webmasters? Forcing so many to waste time working on sites to make G happy, knowing that they will never achieve ranks without being mentioned in newsy articles on a select few sites that are not going to write about them? From the public statements of how all this was created, it would seem to me they had every intention of misleading web site makers - causing them to fail, causing them to spend more time working on content - working on disavow lists - spend money on SEO help - all knowing that those things were going to fail. They encouraged people to do things they knew would not work. They told people not to do things that are working for other sites that are in the top. The intended to frustrate those people who had done things to gain search positions - intentionally causing mental anguish and suffering or something. What would the lawsuit really say though? I think the Missouri(?) attorney general did some legal maneuvering around this like 2 years ago, but I never heard anything about it since the initial announcement.
