Buying Sponsored Text Link on AOL Search

I am hoping someone can help me! I am approaching the different search engines about purchasing sponsored text links (ex. coming up as the "first" search result by paying for that listing). When I called AOL Search (it took me forever to get through), they said they only sell banner ads, and that all of the search results are from a 3rd party.

Does anyone know who I should call to buy Sponsored Links on AOL Search? I believe AOL's search results come from Inktomi and Open Directory Project, but neither of these seem to sell advertising -- they just seem to be a database of the free listings.

Thanks so much!

Where you been sister? AOL sponsored links used to be powered by Overture.com now by Googles AdWords(select)program..you are right about Inktomi but that will end by the latest Sept 1 when the Inktomi/AOL contract runs out...then it will be all google.
Take Care,
