> I note that GoTo claims alliances with AV and Lycos. Is the use of
pay-for-performance more subtle on those sites?

Yes, they tend to only run three or five links, usually delinated from the
main results. see http://searchenginewatch.com/webmasters/paid.html

> Any reason why Go.com should be left on library pages of search links?
> Will InfoSeek resurface somewhere?

Infoseek's not coming back, and there's no reason to link to Go.com over
linking to GoTo.com itself, assuming you want to include the paid listing
service among others.

http://searchenginewatch.com/sereport/01/03-go.html has a bit more on the Go
to GoTo change.

cheers,
