No, this domain is fed by findwhat. The owner is out of Hong Kong and owns a huge number of domains (something like 50,000). Read an article about him some time ago, his checks from FindWhat are huge.

Overture gets most of their traffic from agreements with other SEs and Portals. Yahoo, of course, but also CNN, altavista and a bunch more. That's why they push the top three spots so hard, those three go on their partners pages.
