"SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- In what may be the first volley in a duel with its former ally Google Inc., Yahoo has announced a new policy for indexing Web pages and will charge businesses to include more material currently unlisted in its search engine." full story here...

Are you ready to pay for such a service?

yes,but not for adult keywords

I'm not planning on paying, and hopefully no one else will either... so it's back to organic free listings.

I wonder about the legalities of such a service now that paid and free listings will be mixed together without an indication of which are paid. I recall about a year or two ago (reference: http://www.seologic.com/search-engines/2002-06-29.php) the FTC started cracking down on PPC engines which didn't indicate the listings were paid and I see this happening again.
