AskJeeves to leave Overture 4 Google's Adwords

Google adwords will be apart of Ask.com

[aaaaa]

Ask.com will continue to offer its own paid-for search products but results from Overture's pay-for-placement network - will be replaced with those from Google's adwords.

This will have a slight effect on the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool.

[aaaaa]

The new overture keyword suggestion tool for the January search results has just gone online:

inventory.overture.com/

who is doubleclick? is it owned by jeeves?
If so, why aren't they fixing their links? all doubleclick links are dead.

this tells me that jeeves doesn't own doubleclick. If so, are they terminating contracts with them?

example..search for <dell>...doubleclick gives <gateway> as an add result. All links in that result are dead.

another one. Search for <flowers>..doubleclick gives< 800flower.com> as result...all dead links?

1)How is doubleclick affiliated with jeeves?
2)Why are they so slow to fix the problem? (it's been a long time now.)
3)If doubleclick is not part of jeeves...what would they do in place of that area of advertisement?

thanks

forget about the previous post....I think it's just my AOL software. It works on other computers. It also works on AOL using AOL brouser but not IE on AOL.

weird!

anyway, I'd still like to know the affilliation... and how profit are distributed.

Thanks aaaaa. Is there a link to a press release about the above?

[cjtripnewton]

There's no mention of this in the press sections of Google, Ask, Teoma, or Overture yet. I stickey-mailed JeevesGuy for confirmation.

this is relatively old news.... (the deal was made in the fall 2002)
Do a search on google ...

Do the same search on Aol & Ask - and look at the difference in terms of how the "adwords" results sort of "blend in"

(the adwords boxes are not required)

thus, this is why they may have gone relatively unnoticed.
