Class Action Against Yahoo! / Overture
August 30, 2006

Yahoo Overture LawsuitIjust received an email informing me I am entitled to receive some money from a lawsuit against Overture/Yahoo! Advertising for Pay Per Click ads I placed with them between October 1, 2004 and June 1, 2005.

From what I can gather bidders who exhausted their daily/monthly budget were not removed from the bidding panels so it looked as if they were still advertising which means I would have bidded less had I known their budget had run out.

Looks like they are dividing up $750,000 in credit and cash. $600,000 to those who did not use their budgeting feature, and $150,000 to those who did, I am part of the $600,000 group. I didn’t spend a lot, however it was well over $1000 so I wonder how much they will award me.

If anyone knows any further details feel free to make a comment and let me know or correct me if I am wrong about what Yahoo! / Overture was doing. I will keep you posted if I actually receive credit or a check.

I hope you enjoyed this post. Stay updated on future posts by subscribing to my RSS Feed.

Yours in success,

    I actually received a physical letter in the mail — at first, I thought someone was suing me LOL — maybe I should take a closer look at it.

    Thanks for reminding me about it, I had just set the letter aside and didn’t think anything of it.

    If I spot anything in the letter, I’ll come back and leave another comment.
