A federal judge Friday indicated that he is inclined to allow a company to proceed with a lawsuit against Google stemming from low rankings in search results, according to published reports of the
proceeding. The judge reportedly said he might permit KinderStart.com to amend its complaint against Google by spelling out its allegations in greater detail. In March, KinderStart.com
sued Google, alleging that last year, Google wrongfully lowered KinderStart's ranking in the
results, sending its traffic plummeting by 70 percent.
