AOL Search & Fantasy Finder [ SE adult listings ]
 

Andrew Weinstein, an AOL spokesman, said that Adult Search Fantasy Finder paid AOL to receive online traffic from its search site.

Adult Search Fantasy Finder is run by a company called Bullseye9 in Westminster, Colo., which charges money to pornography sites for listing them. Mr. Weinstein declined to discuss the financial arrangement between AOL and Bullseye9, other than to say it represented a small percentage of AOL's search revenue. Bullseye9 executives did not return several calls for comment.

Seems that AOL dropped all major ADULT TERMS by default and is letting FantasyFinder handle the results. It is still possible to access the results, however most AOL Users are too stupid to realize this.

I'm sure this is a potential Gold Mine for certain niches to jump on the PPC advertising bandwagon, since certain areas are yet to be saturated.

This is a very interesting change in the SE world ... very very interesting.

Yes, interesting indeed. This reminds me of the same thing MSN did with nightsurf.com

Once they realize there is only paid listings they will goto other SE....

So I did a search for the hun to make sure adult sites were not removed

There seems to be alot of 404d/dead images listed up there.
What's up with that? Same thing for me on both of my ISPs.

This would be exciting news if it wasn't nearly a year old. This happened way back in 2003.

man, it's AOL, those people don't even know what the internet is as AOL does not want them to leave the AOL community.

The hell?

I knew about others ... but never noticed this happening on AOL Search Results. Do you have any info on the launch dates?

That was a good one :glugglug

Exactly, that's why that market is the most profitable and I'm sure PPC will really be worth the money.

Well, the date of the link you posted is from December 2, 2003 @ 4:21PM EST. That's a start.
