This is very good news indeed! However, I have a feeling whoever told you this will get axed for confidentiality purposes. It's pretty big news! "Ink results are filled with so much keyword-hyphen-keyword-hyphen-keyword spam, I can't believe that Yahoo would consider switching to them anytime soon. " Well, the alternative for webmasters is Google. And since no one knows how to optimize for Google right now, google SEOing has effectively stopped. I can't get my homepage listed on Google SERPS for my keywords no matter what I do, and many people are finding the same problems. And you don't like keyword spam? How about those hundreds of stupid ****ing annoying amazon links on every search term right now? What the hell is that all about? People have begun to dump Google as a reliable STABLE search engine and switch to Inktomi b/c everyone needs stability. Webmasters especially.
"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."
