It is true that Yahoo doesn't guarantee rankings from a PI feed, but in reality rankings do improve. I've had the opportunity to test it by turning on and off a feed and watching rankings go up and down accordingly. And even several months after the above article was written, I can vouch for PI being very much alive. Big sites spend a lot of money on their feeds despite parallel SEO efforts.

You mention that SSB/SSP(pro) is updated on a regular schedule - what you don't consider is how powerful that can be for message / landing page changes or promotions. It gives marketers the flexibility to promote time sensitive items without having to worry whether spiders will pick them up quickly. SSP also allows "multi-links" under your main listing that allow deeplinking to different areas of the site. All that for CPCs that are typically far less than paid listings!

EntireWeb.com also has a paid inclusion program, but it is not as useful.
