Plaintiffs v Yahoo
Yahoo Reaches Settlement in Pay-Per-Click Class Action Lawsuit
A class action lawsuit brought in 2006 by several Yahoo! (YHOO) pay-per-click search advertising customers has been settled.
The lawsuit (PDF) alleges that customers contracted for targeted ad placements through two products, Sponsored Search and Content Match (and predecessor products provided by Overture and GoTo.com) and that Yahoo! breached its contract with its customers by allowing Yahoo! ads to be displayed in spyware, domain name parking sites (bulk registration sites), pop-ups, pop-unders and typosquatting sites. According to the message, which is reproduced on a dedicated website about the case, plaintiffs brought claims for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, misrepresentation, civil conspiracy, and unfair business practices.
