hmmm. Not sure about that.

Must admit, Doug, that I would be tempted particularly as the search database is only part of what Ink. does.

However, I was more intrigued by this link:

http://www.msnbc.com/news/648132.asp?cp1=1 which discusses Overture's success. The bit that made me sit up and take notice was the implication that Yahoo are considering PPC.

Yep. Ink is into much more than simply search. Actually, search is a small part so you are probably right.

Now Goto is a different story. I feel this will where off eventually when searchers realize all links are "paid" from them and the other links on a results page are "not paid" for.

I actually own some Ink stock. I bought it at around 105. It promptly jumped up to about 200 in like a few days (yes before the crash!). Silly me didn't sell it...

Oh no. You better not sell now. Even if Ink gets rid of the search database, they still have many other parts.
