Just fyi, RAINMAN is not AOL’s “content management solution.” Rather, it is a relatively one-dimensional page layout solution. Used by AOL’s precursor QuantumLink (and then AppleLink Personal Edition, PC-Link, Promenade, and the earliest AOL betas in 1990-1), it obviously pre-dated HTML by a few years. RAINMAN vaguely resembles HTML (although every command is different), in that a RAINMAN page begins with a header (like “/group 3221.news”) and a password (like “/pass secretword”) which was followed by commands which designated the type of page, the text on the page, any buttons and their links, and the like. Although you could link to searchable databases (like an external newswire, for example, or a travel deals resource or the like), those databases were entirely separate from the simplistic RAINMAN page description language.

Relevancy=ROAS

Savvy online marketers know the returns they can get for clients on strategic DMA and demo tartgeted campaigns. 20 million AOL profiles for Google's ads and a piece of that action for AOL... and just as Google is pushing heavily to go serve your rich media too.

Watch the language on the Onebox, and also, the organic crawl. When Google says: “Indexing more of AOL’s content. Our goal is to organize all of the world’s information. When we say “all the world’s information,” this includes AOL’s. We’re going to work with the webmasters at AOL — just as we work with webmasters all over the world — to help them understand how the Google crawler works (with regard to robots.txt, how to use redirects, non-html content, etc.) so we don’t inadvertently overlook their content.”

and every month works the crawler different from the month before.

Merry Christmas to all!
.... and a special Happy Holidays to agents Smith, GW, and Dick who are all monitoring our emails and calls today to make sure the internet is used only in the pursuit of truth, justice, god-fearing, rendering unto Caesar, American Judeo-Christian ways.

Nice points John. I almost got duped by Marissa's clarification, until your analysis opened my eyes. Yeah claiming that additional AOL demands were about handling robots.txt is kindof ridiculous. I should have known better, In here interview here http://alan.blog-city.com/an_evening_with_googles_marissa_mayer.htm she claims that google's founders did not know html! what? and yet they were somehow able to write a top search engine to parse and search html document! Got to keep my BS filter more alert while reading stuff from Google folks, particularly Marissa.

what do you mean with the BS filter?

This “clarification” smells like boilerplate BS to me – next is Google going to say “After spending $1,000,000,000 AOL really twisted our arms and, after great deliberation, we decided to give in and email them a link to the URL for the Google webmaster guidelines”.

LOL/ROFL

i want the mailaddy of the google admin too
