Overture seems to have created a whole search engine that is based exclusively on PPC results. Not sure how many people actually use the engine compared to the number of advertisers who pay for listings, though! But that's some food for thought. I think it's important to consider that the site visitor knows that the listings are paid for, and therefore might be skeptical of the results thinking they're not necessarily seeing the best guy, just the guy with the most cash.
