Rankings at Overture

[ganeshjacharya]

Dear Friends,

I'm optimizing.................. a website and that ranked well in msn.com but ranking fell in overture.com............... and lycos.com for certain keywords.

What I wanted to know is, if overture does rank the websites on the order of recent paid inclusions.

Waiting for comments..............

Thanks!

Completely different algos than MSN. At Overture, the sites at the beginning are all paid listings, then regular search comes after. They're owned by Yahoo. At Lycos, there are paid listings, but regular search is now supplied by ask.com
