    On most of my sites around 1% or less which is too bad as I like Ask.com.

    Nothing from them. Although they have been advertising and changing things of late, so who knows!

    I have about 20 PR4 sites, don't remember seeing ask as a bot etc.

    not sure if they send any traffic, if they do it is very minimal.

    Whenever I put up a new site, it takes Google and Yahoo, and even MSN almost no time to crawl and they are listed. With Ask.com it takes months. I wonder why they are so slow.

    I get about 1% of my traffic from Ask, but that's about it. TBH, I get better traffic from a link in my facebook profile than I do from Ask.

    Maybe ask.com likes blogs but I am getting around 2%-3% and the bots seems to visit all the blogs/pages on a regular basis.

    Maybe they are aiming for the blog market?

    I have a site that is 1.5 years old and it is still not in the index. It has about 3100 backlinks so the ask crawler should find it with no problem. About 4 months ago I submitted the site's site-map to ask.com.

    Still, it is not even in the index. I think it should be called "don't ask!" :)

    I have noticed for my websites that the quality of traffic of Ask.com visitors seem to be considerably higher then that of most other search engines.
