waste of time.

Unless they can seriously increase market share its pointless. Ask just hasnt got the traffic, its as simple as that, well not in the UK anyway.

Our site sees more traffic from the likes of Dogpile and searchy (who) than Ask.

Also, having had top paid premium branding on Ask imo even with top positions you dont get many hits compared with Google, Yahoo or MSN. Whilst you can argue that extra traffic is extra traffic unless they can seriously up the market share imo its not worth the effort.

Will certainly keep an eye on this one incase they did a major market deal and could secure greater market share. A deal with someone like Miva could be a good idea.
