I did not see a link on the index page but if you can crack the
page below then you can get above the people who pay

I read on USA Today where google accounted for over a majority of seraches
on the web.  I would skip Overture and look at my options and buget for
advertising with Google.  There is not such thing as advertising
on google but you can have a sponsered link and pay per click.  I'm not 
sure who uese Yahoo search and others anymore in the tech world.  Of course
we sell tech products you may sell consumer based goods.  Grandma may not
use google may only use Yahoo and she could be a target.
