Rs, this is all Aol has to do next tuesday to blow away Wall Street expectations. Do you know how Aol accounts for its advertising revenue? Is it booked upon receiving a contract or spread over the life of the contract? < ''Everything we've heard is that growth is strong,'' said William Blair analyst Abhishek Gami, who rates the stock a ''long- term buy.'' He estimates that AOL had 12.7 million members at the end of June and will reach the 13 million mark by the first or second week in August. AOL is expected to earn 19 cents a share, according to analysts surveyed by First Call Corp. Revenue is forecast to be about $792 million, with about $119 million from advertising and electronic commerce, said Gami. The Dulles, Virginia-based company earned $10.9 million, or 5 cents a share according to First Call, on revenue of $475.7 million a year earlier. >
