Snippet:
For what its worth, our educated guess, would be Yahoo! integrate Inktomi into the current system, replacing Google, whereby relevant search engine results precedence is determined by Yahoo! Directory inclusion and Inktomi paid inclusion.

hmm. This kind of sounds like it was written by a seo who was or is currently banned by Google for spam. LOL That's my take.

Bottom line is it would be the worse option Yahoo could do. By the own admittance, the amount of time a visitor stays at Yahoo has went up over the months big-time since they decided to show the Google results. That's very telling.

That article really disturbed me. I made a comment. Click that link to read below the article. Yes, it's harsh. But yes, it's deserved.

I'm disgusted.

Thanks Robert for finding this! A chance to put things in perspective. :)
