The rumor mill has been in full out on this thing for the last 90 days. Hardly a day goes by when something new isn't rumored. The current hot one, is that there was a 30day extension to the current contract for further negotiations between the involved parties.

I'm wondering if the FTC disclosure issue is a consideration here. If Yahoo! has to disclose that the Fast results are laden with paid submissions, it may be a black eye in the credibility department.

Last time I checked into it, the consensus was that Yahoo was using PageRank as a determining factor in positioning in their directory. Question: Will that go away if Yahoo hooks up with some other SE provider than Google?
