I guess Geico doesnt even consider the traffic MSN creates a threat and didnt pursue a case against them.

Google has deleted sponsor links from many sites.Their policy of "any keyword can be sold" appeares disrupted.
The sponsor links were revenue driven to GOOGLE. Will this change of policy re settlement with Overture and potentially Geico change the top and bottom line revenue flow to Google? Seems like somethings got to give.
