where do I post info on AOL?

Ok, EX is a dying engine. WC is dead. IS is dead. etc. I see why you wouldn't want to clutter this place with dead forums, but what about AOL? doesn't it belong in here somewhere? Doesn't it deserve to be at least mentioned here?

I posted an AOL thread a few days ago in "Directories: ODP, Looksmart, About.com" because ODP is the root of a good aol listing, just like if I want to post about hotbot, I would go to the ink forum.... but that didn't seem exactly right.

Maybe I should have posted in the rest of the engines cat? But it didn't SAY AOL... but it did say 'rest'... so should it have been posted here?

Why don't I know where to post a thread about a totally alive and indexing engine that has been known for years to have possibly the highest converting traffic around? It seems to me that if it isn't google or AV, WW downplays it... granted professional seo tend to have lots of pages and play the agressively spidering engines more than one that you need to go through a directory in order to get only one page in... but an engine all the same.

Point is, there is no where to follow that engine here... and as a result, you get a stale post like mine that says aol indexed today when it really happened days before... there weren't any threads mentioning that index I could find here... in other words, WW MISSED AN SE 'EVENT'... <jab> I had to go back to SEF to go find a fairly long thread on the subject </jab>

Ok BT, let me have it:)

We usually get AOL posts in "Directories: ODP, Looksmart, About.com" and it hadn't occurred to me that it wasn't listed there by name.

[dogboy]

that's because it isn't a directory:) ...therefore it should go in the 'rest of the engines' but if you are are going to list it there, it better be before a totally dead engine that changed its name years ago....

hehehe... sorry I'm a little feisty today

Ps. L, I'm calling you in 5

DogBoy, ODP related into the Directories forum and Ink into the Inker forum. All other queries into the Rest of The Engines.

I've thought about adding an AOL forum, but outside of INK and ODP, there haven't been enough queries.

DogBog? rofl... that is me hehee:)

>there haven't been enough queries.

...that is what I told laisha... I don't think it needs its own forum, but why not put it in the 'rest of the engines' description?

... seriously, you can't have 'Infoseek' in there and not even mention AOL... or, I guess you can:) ... but that's not the point:)

"ODP related into the Directories forum and Ink into the Inker forum."

...not as user friendly to the newbie as it could be:) hehe
