After speaking with a contact at Inktomi, it seems that Yahoo will drop Google and start to carry full Overture/Inktomi results sometime around January/February. As to the combination of ranking free (slurp) vs. paid inclusion vs. pay for performance listings, I unfortunately haven't gotten a definitive answer on that yet. However, I would think that the ranks would be from top to bottom: PPF, PFI, free (which coincidentially happens to be the order in which they make the most revenue).
