Web search giant Google Inc. said on Wednesday it had agreed to pay up to $90 million to settle a class action lawsuit over advertising fraud (click fraud) by outside parties on its site, in a bid to put the controversy behind it.The settlement stems from a lawsuit filed by Lane’s Gifts earlier this year in an Arkansas state court and is designed to settle all outstanding claims against Google for fraud committed using its pay-per-click ad system back to 2002, it said.

Does that mean any click fraud encountered since 2002 is not covered in this lawsuit? Very interesting… [Yahoo! News]
