economics? Is that really the question here? ( was RE: [Sigia-l] Re: "Best Bets" the Yahoo way)

[Christina Wodtke]

No need to apologize: I don't mind criticism of Y! search, nor criticism on
the topic of paid inclusion-- it is always useful to get insights that can
lead to better understanding.

What I mind is misrepresentation and unfounded lies.

There are excellent arguments about if PI is the right thing to do, and I
can see both sides. I just want to make sure we are defining PI correctly-- 
as the payment to be added to the index, and with no guarantee of improved
placement.

let the debate rage on...
