Gone in AOL!

[sadierae]

We noticed that our main keyword that we do very well with is now completely gone in AOl.

I was wondering where AOl gets there results and if something has recently changed to make our site disappear.

Any help would be appreciated!

Results currently from Inktomi.........Results soon to be from Google. Google results should appear sometime during 'the summer'

Thats what I thought but, the crazy thing is that when you search on Intomi's pure search, were listed as number 2 for the keyword, but nowhere on AOL. The compititon has also fallen and strange sites are appearing at the top.

If I didn't know any better I'd think that Aol search results have gone Googly.

Even if it has gone Google or any other we are listed #1 or #2 on almost all major search engines for our main keyword. This includes Google, Inktomi, Looksmart etc we're in ODP too. I can't figure out what happened. We're not listed at all at least up to 200, as far as I checked.

The results that I'm getting back too are very odd. The main competitors have fallen and the number one site I've never seen listed before. I'm just curious on how I can get the site back up.

Results still look Inktomi to me.

Another frequent cause for sites disappearing is shuffling of results, which they do quite often. Will be interesting to see if they (AOL) continue to do that with Google's results, or if they will remain stable like Yahoo's usage of the Google index.

Also keep in mind that in the AOL current search they use DMOZ data...not just the ink database.
