Well it’s about time. How can a search engine expect to be taken seriously and trusted when they’re selling the “natural” results that most people who use Yahoo don’t realize are even purchasable. Shady shady shady.

Have no fear, word on the street is that another Search Engine will be releasing it’s on version of paid inclusion very soon. More info to come.

Even though this is not a real surprise, I am sad to see this program go…for years in many different verticals the Yahoo paid inclusion programs worked very well for my clients and provided a nice organic Yahoo boost and an excellent ROI….I do however agree that it is yesterday’s business model…

Paid inclusion was yesterday’s business model. What’s the point – all the search engines have been indexing websites for free, which is the way it should be.

I don’t think Paid Inclusion ever got the kind of traction standard paid search ads got.
