Looks like Mel's claim of 85% market share was not over-optimistic after all.

Added Personally I love this quote: "The difference with Overture and Google is Google is a destination website, Overture is a partner," Overture's Australian managing director Mel Bohse said.

Another story [theaustralian.news.com.au] about the News Interactive aggreement, courtesy of Brett who found this one. "GOOGLE'S efforts in the Australian market have taken a body blow as News Interactive yesterday became the third major online publisher to sign a search marketing distribution agreement with Yahoo's subsidiary Overture." "Ms Bohse said that, unlike its competitors, Overture employed editorial staff to ensure the keyword placements were being bought by companies with a legitimate link to the word." Overture are certainly playing up the O vs G scenario. Onya

That would be 85% market reach not market share. My logs still say Google is killing Overture's entire network in volume of search traffic. | Overture employed editorial staff to ensure the keyword placements were being bought by companies with a legitimate link to the word |

I also find the example of the airline industry funny because if you search for another airline brand on Overture/News you see Overture doing exactly what they're beating Google up for. I find this sort of press rivalry a little sad when there is no substance behind it.
