My website is around 8 months old but ask jeeves has not indexed my website, i don't know why? Do i have to created an account with them and do it manually?
It takes it's results from ask.com Which itself gets about 2% of all search traffic according to hitwise, so I wouldn't worry about not being listed there.
You could also try to find a blog or forum that is indexed in Ask and put your website link there via a comment or sig link. For a start you could try placing a link to your website on your DP sig.
AskJeeves is very mild traffic, it's not going to affect you much at all whether you're indexed or not.
http://about.ask.com/en/docs/about/webmasters.shtml I already see this was posted, but I don't really think you're going to get any luck with being indexed in Ask.com, many people have had no luck. yugo,
I actually like the traffic I get from Ask.com. Even thought it is small, it seems to covert well for me.
I never submitted anything to ask. It seems eventually it found it and indexed. I wouldn't worry too much about ask, it generally doesn't send much traffic. On a side note I do kind of miss those ask jeeves commercials on tv. They were a little catchy. I think he retired now, at least that's what I read on their site somewhere a while back.
You should not worry about getting indexed there, You should be mainly focusing to get good ranks in Google and Yahoo
