Yahoo To List Overture's Paid Listings
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: TotalRecall
Yahoo has decided to incorporate Overture's fee-based searching system into it's own. Since banner rates have dropped, this isn't much of a suprise. CNet has the story:
The Internet portal said it plans to integrate Overture's paid listings, or "sponsor matches," with its directory pages by Thursday. The service lets advertisers bid for placement in query results rather than rely on natural listings or editorial recommendations. The portal will feature Overture's top five for-fee listings in a clearly marked section separate from the results retrieved by Google, Yahoo's search partner.
Lets hope this doesn't corrupt Yahoo's searching system, but I am almost sure it will to some extent.

Bah, I think this will be a move that will break the morale of simple sites who contain more relevant info yet cannot dole out the cash to get a higher ranking...
I hope this doesn't corrupt Google as well ... I use Google exclusively for searching websites, and I want it to stay relevant, instead of getting a hotshot zillionaire's personal site when I begin a search for "money" ...
