There are some good resources on the net though - as suggested, try searching google (ironic isn't it!).

usually if you go well on google you go well on ink though PFI clouds the issue on the edges.
better to optimise for pages on ink, and sites on google (that ones from marcia)
apart from that if anybody really has some useful intelligence they are mainly keeping it to themselves.
My own feeling. Yep its useful to opt for ink bit i wouldnt put a large amount of time into it. I'm pretty sure as we see the yahoo new SERPS deliveries rolling out, we will find that the ROI for optimising for Y/Ink for commercial sites will be far less than for Google 2002/3. At every point, Y! will be "encouraging" commercial sites to pay them rather than put their money into SEO.. This will be operationalised in many different ways.
Just seeing "ink" as a replacement for "google" in the yahoo SE, i think is a mistake.
My opinion only, and a pretty unpopular one i feel.
I would guess that Yahoo! will incorporate altavista/alltheweb/ink in the future. We have no way of knowing what this wil turn out to be.
Hold your fire, SEO is a waiting game. That said, as mfishy mentions, I'd be thinking about on-page factors.

I completely agree with mfishy and might go a bit further.
If Yahoo intended to use the current Inktomi they would (IMHO) already have deployed it. This leads me to be almost certain that the Yahoo search engine, when it is deployed, will be different in many ways from all of the existing Yahoo-owned ones.
I do not worry much. I optimize for Google almost exclusively, and seem to be doing quite well in the other SEs.
3 top Portals , well except for Google but Google is almost-a-portal actually.

Already acquired both.

Yahoo hasn't fully acquired Overture and Inktomi yet, it still uses Google, if Yahoo uses Google, it can't be major player...
You gotta have your own Technology to be a major player, if anybody could be a major search engine player, why not choose a META search engine in the Players? That searches more than 1 engine? un-like Yahoo searches only google (and is trying to mix with Inktomi)? Because METAs don't have their own database.
And I said the stats of major players that I think will be in 1-3 years (in the future) , I didn't say that Google is currently not a player.

How so?
Dow Jones Business News:
Yahoo! And Overture Announce Completion Of Acquisition; Overture Becomes A Wholly-Owned Unit Of Yahoo!

I would say a completion of an ACQUISITION would mean they have acquired them :)
Maybe it's just a matter of the language that you are using. Yahoo! has, indeed acquired both INK and Overture.
If you are speaking about how they are going to use them, that is a differnt story
