Seems like Google’s online advertising juggernaut might be a spoke or two short of a wagon-load: a circuit court judge in Texarkana, Arkansas, has approved a $90 million settlement in a class action lawsuit brought against Google by Lane’s Gifts.
Under the terms of the settlement (PDF), Google will give advertising credits equivalent to $3.80 on oever $1,000 spent on its online advertising systems during the last four and half years. Google isn’t giving any cash to anybody, except the lawyers: they’ll collect $30 million straight out of Google’s corporate checkbook.
