AOL Spills the Beans

by Jeff Hudson on August 9, 2006

Several sites are popping up recently that are making good use of the AOL data that was recently sprung on the search marketing community. I have to admit I massively underestimated what this really means. I had no idea that the search queries were tied to a user ID! OMG. What an absolute FUBAR by AOL.

 Here are some of the interesting tidbits:

Want to see the referring search keywords for any site?

Want to see the CTR by position in the AOL serps?

 Want to see what that user ID: 20688257 apparently really wants to find a teen hooker?

Good lord we’re in for a doosy. Have fun! And don’t forget to send me any URL’s I’ve left out.
