who result AOL.com

[xMadx]

Hello,

I would like be be well ranked on AOL.com.
I did the job on google #3 position, #8 on Lycos, #7 on MSN with only 2 words.(rude competitor words)
Now I would like to improve my rank on AOL.com but I need to know who provides result to AOL.com.
I thought it was inktomi but for the same search on AOL.com and on inktomi results are not the same.
So if you have tips for AOL, I take.

Thanks

AOL uses Inktomi results, but will be switching to Google's results sometime this summer (August has been mentioned).

Welcome to the board xMadx.

AOL has had Inktomi for a while, but is changing to Google as search provider this summer. So that's who to consider for AOL rankings.

The changeover is already in effect for AOL in the UK; it'll happen here any time now, some are predicting August

Whoops, agerhart got to it first, sorry about that.

You can see what's coming at UK AOL Search [search.aol.co.uk].

Great for AOL and Google, I will wait.
But any tips for a better ranking on Inktomi ?

Question ; why results are differents between AOL.co.uk and Google.co.uk (or Google.com) ?

I have a feeling it will be sooner than Aug:)

I'm surprised AOL.co.uk is not using Googles misspelled word feature:o
