Ask.com

what about ask.com. Is this search engine is good. How effective in traffic if we get listed in it. Also how behind is ask.com from google, msn and yahoo

 

For me it is not worth much more than live/msn. But maybe someone else finds it useful for him.

 

its in the top 5, but not the top 3...its still a good search engine to have crawling your sites...

 

Ask.com is useless for my site, I'm recieving no traffic from them at all (to all of my sites!)

 

my site too doesnt recive traffic from them

 

Never benefited from Ask.com before.

 

Same here. I almost get no traffic from ask.com
I have tried their sponsored search before and the traffic does not convert. I paid a lot of $$$ for nothing.

 

its good, they are posting a well reviewed site

 

A good sites for reseaching nickes

 

I see a little organic search traffic from them, nothing major. I mostly use them for their sponsored PPC listings - I've gotten some decent conversions in some niches, but traffic volume is very low so they won't be replacing Adwords anytime soon.

 

I have seen many improvements here, and many people is getting tired of junk results and MFA sites returned by Google, MSN and Yahoo, so its traffic is also increasing.

 

Haven't did any effort submitting to it

 

Same! I didn't even bother to submit my sites to ask.com.. but apparently they're all listed in there!

 

I like using Ask.com its sometimes good also for us developers to use other search engines from time to time to find different websites under certain search terms that you wouldnt find on any other site like google, reason being you can be one step ahead and keep up to date with what new websites pop up for certain keywords that you wouldnt find on google.

 

i hardly use ask.com, once in a year. i might try out to see what sort of results its giving out.

 

It means no point waisting time with it. I heard its hard to listed in there too. I think it have different strategy compare to yahoo, msn and google.

 

i saw them advertising on adbrite agency so my theory is
"only those people advertise who dont have potential "
ask is useless i think only webmasters must be using it just for fun

 

it was good before 2000. they do not increase their popularity.

 

i used it once for universities information and i was disappointed after its results,,,,

 

One of my sites is #2 for my most important phrase and I get no more than 4 visitors a year.

My other site, same industry, just over one year old, is still not in their index despite 2 emails to customer service.
