Ask is very capable of giving better SERPS to serious sites due to it's college student's level of crawling the web. It does suffer from some serious strike outs (such as associating my site with farm lessons? What the!?) which needs to be ironed out perhaps with more crawling in shorter periods. True; there are some flaws and improvements that Ask should implement or fix. False; Ask is still very relevant these days. It's the underdog of search engines and if it's real improvements continue with (my perception of) it's good or at least decent marketing it's future may see some serious gains in the market share.
Ask sent me four times the results for it's crawl share over MSN this month and has done this on average since I've seriously started tracking such things.
