Ask Jeeves?

Lpspider · 12-20-2005, 10:10 PM

Anyone use ask jeaves (www.ask.com)? Do you use it at all? On the webmaster side, you you have any decent rankings with them and do they bring you any traffic whatsoever?

I use it occasionally....but rarely. Google is still the best, but ask jeeves is pretty good at giving results for questions...I think it's worth using more often for me, I just dont think about it often

And I dont receive any traffic from them to my site

Yeah, pretty much same here. Just wondering your guys' thoughts.

I get not traffic from them, most of mine comes from MSN and Yahoo.

Google gives results for "questions" better than Ask Jeeves, actually.

E.g, turn your question into a statement. So the question, "What is the average temperature of the arctic?"

You type into Google:

The average temperature of the arctic is *

And it will give you an answer.

Really? Jeeves is sort of known more for questions and question sensitivity... I know google's okay at that, but...

Am listed on jeeves and don't even know how....I have never added my url and just recently begin doing link exchanges with other karting websites....don't mind being there I suppose....I am sure someone uses them or they would of folded a long time ago. Anyone know how to submit a sitemap to jeeves?

bpeh · 02-24-2006, 03:01 PM

the jeeves spider rarely visit my site. never got any traffic from them as well.

A little off topic, but Ask.com just lost the butler - I kind of miss him! I think websites are best when they seem more like another person, and more fun to use.

Jeeves gives me about 1-2 visitors a month after it took away just over 2GB of data.

etraffic · 03-29-2006, 07:26 PM

I think I use it maybe once a month and that is it. I just not sure if I like ask jeeves...??

I dont think i've ever used it. I don't see any use of it. Google works for me

microdude431 · 03-31-2006, 12:32 PM

I really don't get that good of ranking in Ask Jeeves. MSN is a lot better and so is Google.
