Inktomi paid inclusion will NOT feed the Yahoo search engine after April 15th. Yahoo will be offering its own paid inclusion program at some point between now and then.
Inktomi pfi may still make sense just to be on MSN, for now, but I definitely wouldn’t pfi a lot of pages now until we see what program Yahoo rolls out.
Whatever it is, a lot of people are going to be angry because they paid for Inktomi pfi because they incorrectly assumed Yahoo would use the Inktomi-named search engine and its pfi. The fact that they are using 95% Inktomi and renaming it “Yahoo Search” looks at first glance like they are just taking the chance to double-dip everyone, but until they unveil whatever Yahoo pfi program will exist it really isn’t too useful to get mad or speculate either.
