Hello,

I can't answer the first question. Regarding AOL (America Online), then AOL users sometimes uses the AOL proxies. This basically means that google cannot use the IP address to look up where the user is browsing for. So geotargeting makes no sense for some AOL users.

The following city codes have a region part that doesn't correspond with the region codes (listed on the regions page). For example, for the city code "Barwon, VI AU," there is no region code "AU-VI" (there is "AU-VIC"). So, either the city code has the wrong region part or the entries on the regions page are wrong. Barwon, VI AU Casino, NS AU Central Coast, NS AU Cessnock, NS AU Colac, VI AU Craigieburn, VI AU Gold Coast, QL AU Hervey Bay, QL AU Katoomba, NS AU Kawana Waters, QL AU Kingston, TS AU Victoria Point, QL AU

Also, could you clarify what Aol stands for the following entries? Aol, AOL FR Aol, AOL DE Aol, AOL GB Aol, AOL JP
