Google artificially skewed search results to favour its own commercial interests and screwed its customers by unilaterally reducing their revenue share percentages, according to the US FTC as reported in the Wall Street Journal.
Google can “make or break” any Internet business, said the FTC. By giving its own related sites better placements than rival sites it has deprived rivals of traffic.
Searches were skewed to give a higher rating to Google-related sites than rival sites.
On revenue-sharing, the FTC said: “Google has been unilaterally reducing revenue share percentages to many of its syndication customers (in effect raising prices) with apparent impunity.”
FTC staff recommended anti-trust action against Google for abusing its monopoly position but acknowledged it would be tricky to make the charges stick.
