Hi all;
I don't get around to all the boards. I'm to busy but I keep looking at AOL/EBAY on eBay and it looks more than an AOL ad. I know AOL buys companies so is this another one AOL bought or what?

NO AOL didn't buy ebay
Ebay is a keyword on AOL and permier partner, every now and then when ebay is haveing some troubles you will get routed to there AOL page where the AOL banner shows up on the top. http://www.Dman-N-Company.com

Premier partner
Thanks for the response. Obviously I don't understand "premier partner". Seems to me it is either an ad or AOL is in the pie somehow?

I'm just making an educated guess, but I'm gonna guess that 'Premier Partner' means that ebay probably pays AOL to have a higher visibility to AOL subscribers. In return, ebay is obligated to have a special 'aol-friendly' portal, which is where the addage shows up.

eBay must be doing something right. It is the 800 pound gorrilla and the other sites are either field mice or insects compared to them.
