The relevant bit:
Third-party search engine providers may include listings for which the third party has received payment to review and/or include the site within its database. (Please note: The third-party web sites listed within the Directory and third-party search results are not owned by Yahoo!.)
that is from the section on the page that describes the 'web search results' so, they have already announced that they are including PFI pages.
Have I missed this...? I didn't realize they had such clear language on their site already about it.
So, the old Ink stuff should appear -> PFI & XML inclusion I would imagine.
Can anybody confirm that their inktomi driven listings have showed up in Yahoo search results already...?
Would that not just be Overture/espotting?
This is the description of the web search results and NOT the sponsored listings on the top.
The link above has a section for the:
1) Inside Yahoo!
2) Directory Results
3) Sponsored listings
4) Web search results
They are all different, as we know, but this is the first time I'd read that.

That language was posted in October, when they reupped with Google. They were clearly setting the stage to bring in PFI in addition to or as a replacement to Google, down the road. Without a doubt, you'll see Inktomi PFI listings at the very least in Yahoo web search results, in the near future.
They offer PPC - big difference. Huge, in fact. :)
