DD - I would not judge anything on search engines right now. Things are very unstable. In fact, the good results "some of us" may be experiencing in Yahoo's case, is indeed a temporary one.
Linkster, you got a pretty good grip on things as far as Yahoo and Inktomi go, but the "key" ingredient you are missing is this:

And the $299 outlay isn't even a guarantee to be listed.
Where some of us benefitted is with our relationship with Inktomi,
pre-yahoo.

Many of us will benefit from the Yahoo/Inktomi relationship until April 15th, 2004. At which time we do not know what Yahoo will offer us. So for those of you who are benefitting from this, enjoy the ride while it lasts - for those of you who are not - don't sweat it,
like spazlabz puts it, "You mean people actually STILL worry about SE traffic?"
Soon we may all have to pay to be included in these traffic vehicles.
