Ask.com

hello everyone,

i wanted to know if any knows how to submit a website in ask.com, is it free/paid?

i guess that is a new search engine coming-up, which is going to kill google in longer run, what do you think guys?

 

I am not wrong they came before google

 

Yes, Ask.com (formerly AskJeeves) was around before Google. Not sure the submission process but I think they are slow to incorporate new sites in their index. Old sites do well though. I have one site that ranks #1 in google for its keyword but consistantly generates more traffic from Ask. It is 5 years old though.

 

Please send the URL and a brief description of the site via e-mail [ url at askjeeves.com ]
That's what I found.

 

can you tell me from where did you find it?

 

i think you dont know, they are recently taken over by ASK.COM, so AskJevees.com is now ASK.COM

 

You seem to be suspicious about what I posted

If they keep chewing up people's bandwidth and costing them buttloads of money while only sending the current crap number of visitors, the only thing they're going to kill is their ability to crawl any of my sites in the near (VERY near) future.

 

I feel your pain Jackburton. .

They pound my server, suck up bandwidth and give me nothing in return. I try to support them in the hope that they can give G/Y/M some competition but d$mn. . . when are they going to start?

 

I think they just gave up on their advertising, too. Used to see one of their commercials everyday for a while there...

 

looks funny, how old is the document? the page they link to about policies ended up a 404.

 

my document is about 4 years old, still not in ranking, any luck?

thanks for the reply, i guess i could'nt find that page.

hey, anyone seeing his site indexed/crawled by ASK, as mine is not either indexed/scrolled

 

At the top of the main keyword searches in Google, Yahoo, MSN, but not even inexed by Ask. The site has been around for years. I've stopped trying.

 

gosh, there's so many errors in their documentation, can't even goto a proper search tips site. Anyway, surprisingly my blog got listed but as part of a splogger's entry? Looks like you can't trust this search engine.

 

Slower than DMOZ... more defunct editors than DMOZ... more dead links than DMOZ... Ooops! That's "about.com"

 

Saw one last night during primetime on Fox News. It was an attack on Google. A young boy is searching ask.com and says it gives him so much more than Google.

Anyway, it's nice to see ask.com take a stand. I do tend to see less spam at ask.com but agree they need to get fresher results with much less crawling.
