Ask Jeeves (Ask.com(R)), the second largest pure search engine according to Nielsen//NetRatings

What is the definition of "a pure search engine"?
I do not know about you folks, but ASK does not figure as second, or for that matter as sixth, in my pure referal stats.

If ASK/Google quantify the deal to be worth 33 mill. dollars per year, this is the first mentioning I have seen published on what Google's Adword Select progam is worth.

If Google's presence on the international "pure" search market is at least 20 time that of ASK (IMO), that gives some interesting predictions to Google's own revenue stream...

Incidently, nice and very human how Googleguy seems to post [webmasterworld.com] just previous to important issues..:)
