Investigation and pending class action lawsuit against Google, Inc. alleging that Google overcharges advertisers on its search engine.
Any person or entity seeking to advertise with Google registers through its Adworks portal. While registering, an advertiser can set a variety of parameters to advertise on Goggle, including the "Daily Budget" limit, which is the parameter at issue in this lawsuit.
The class action complaint alleges that Goggle routinely and systematically charges an advertiser in excess of the Daily Budget amount.
