AOL Search Results

in Google SERPs?

[Edouard_H]

Don't recall EVER having seen AOL Search Results show up in Google, but results for a competitor's four word key term are ranking #6 for a term with two of the four and #4 with indented result for a term with three of the four (I'm still holding on to #1).

How and why is Google essentially serving up its own search result as a search result? Has anybody else seen similar?

Not sure exactly what you are talking about but Google has been pwering the results over at AOL since last summer...They are pretty much identicle SERP's

I think he means he searched for something on Google, and one of the results was an AOL SERP. I think?

Hi,

I don't know about AOL results, but a month ago I had a MSN result listed while searching for inurl:mydomain.com.

And my domain isn't msn.com, of course :)

I am waiting for Google to start serving up Google results :)

On a serious note, I have seen the msn results a number of times, and am not surprised that a fellow member has seen AOL serps in there now.

Its NO good for business, either mine, yours or Googles, so I would definately recommend sending it via feedback at bottom of pages "Dissatisfied with your search results?"

I am sure they will listen in time.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. This appeared on a Google SERP along with an indented result, also an AOL result:

AOL Search: Results for "widgets, widget foo, blah, blah...." Snippet about widgets
search.aol.com/ dirsearch.adp?query=widgets...........

I find it odd that Google's own result can become a result. Incidentally, the aol search was for a key term that noone really searches for except the owners of that site and therefore #1.

<edit>I must've been posting while you were Shak; I'll definetly call this to their attention - I find it generally alarming.
