Yahoo! Inc has decided to renew its contract with Overture Services Inc for three years, Overture announced yesterday. The decision dashes speculation that Yahoo was poised to give its advertising search business to Google Inc, which is already a key partner, or build its own customer service in-house.
"Since its inception, the Yahoo! Sponsor Matches program has shown strong performance and experienced click-through rates considerably higher than the industry average," Overture said in a statement. Terms were not disclosed.

Overture gets about 40% of its revenue from its portal partners, which display paid search engine listings aggregated by Overture from 60,000 advertisers.

On the other hand, it's not clear what's going to happen with Overture/AOL. According to Reuters, that arrangement was extended one week while they negotiate; this one-week extension expires May 1.
