However, Mr Trkulja lost a separate claim over Google's link to the web page containing the defamatory content. The jury found Mr Trkulja failed to properly report the link using a form on Google's site.
Mr Trkulja said he had won a "David and Goliath" victory and claimed the search error had resulted in local restaurants shunning him.
"This has been a big long battle I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy," he told the Herald Sun.
"This case is not about money, it's about protecting my family, my children and reputation."
Mr Trkulja reportedly won a similar case against Yahoo! in March and was awarded $225,000 in damages. Damages in the Google case are due to be awarded in two weeks.
