On-line Tools for Searching the AOL Data

Posted in: Google,Search Engine Optimisation,Search Engines,Statistics by Richard Hearne on August 8, 2006

A number of tools are appearing allowing the interrogation of the released AOL material:

AOL Search Database (currently under heavy load)

and (IMO) a more superior site:

DontDelete (new domain so you may have to access via 63.212.167.185)

I am currently indexing the entire dataset myself (2.1GB of search goodness) and hope to bring you some Irish related queries from the data in the next day or two.

[UPDATE]

Michael Duz has created this tool for calculating the increase in traffic from higher SERP positions which you might find handy.

  2. Hey.. we updated our site with a bunch of cool features. One in particular returns keyword searches for a randomly selected user.. it’s fun to flip through. We also have a search by website.. it’s great stuff.
