Well justice has been bought and the AOL Employees (2 of them) who released the database of AOL Search queries have been fired! You can read my extremely detailed post on it at Modern SEO. Digg It | Shout It My primary source was ZDNet, but I had other sources to compile my report as well. V7N Blog and Blogoscoped were secondary sources
I guess... But doesn't it sound a bit wrong that a CTO is resigning because the person reporting to the CTO didn't do his job? In my opinion only the person who reports to the CTO should get fired and the researcher as well as the CTO should stay....
Its too bad that i allready download'ed the db but there is one thing , im not using to open new sites just creating contents for them
hehe, I would do the same thing, but I noticed that similar posts to my article only had 19 diggs or so and I got around 22 digg in an hour or so I typed so quick....
lol .. anyone really used the data of AOL search query?? are they really high paying? if so can anyone pass me on some 50-100 kw's for adsense .. lol Thanx anyways
Yeah in the blog post I mentioned TIME magazine which included a phone number to an old lasy which they were able to track down I think Shoemoney was the one who mentioned that on WebmasterRadio.fm, can't remember....
Would anyone mind sharing some good paying keywords from AOL search data?? Thanx in advance note: i feel so lazy to download 500MB file as my internet speed is just 4KBPS
there are no "high paying keywords" in this aol data. just plain keywords and a user-id. the high paying google keywords are "bullets", "babes" and "bombs".
Perhaps. But being that he was the guy in charge of him, he should have had more supervision over this, being that he is probably in the office down the hall. And something this major happening is something Im sure he felt that he failed at his job and decided (or was urged) to resign. Like, "If you volunteer to leave, we will give you a nice pension. If not, you get nothing." Kind of like saving what image he had.
I downloaded this db a few weeks ago but havnt opened it yet Just thought it may be useful in the future.
He's right, and even then I can't figure it out unless I sit and read through each one.. I wonder if someone could make a script and find the mostly used words and make a list out of it? I don't have the time or skills to do that... that does sound like a plausible idea..
I downloaded it just to see the data. Did you all see the site that has the guy who has his screen name and all the adult terms he is searching? I smell a classaction suit coming on
instead of a screenname you see a user_id. you can still find all searches from a single user, but only alo knows his screenname
