Teoma / Ask.com paid submission

[Liz]

Is it worth it for purely UK sites?

[IanTurner]

At the moment I would say not, askjeeves.co.uk is not yet showing Teoma results.

When if this happens then I reckon it will be worth it.

But surely some people in this country go to ask.com - there is no automatic serving of the .co.uk version to people on uk isps. You don't think there are enough to make it worthwhile?

Is ask.co.uk likely to start serving Teoma results?

[IanTurner]

From Jupiter Media Metrix more UK people use the Ask.co.uk site than Ask.com

I would say that for purely UK customers it is not yet worth it. For me the numbers just don't add up. The key question I ask is would I get more traffic through PPC for my money.

My guess is that ask.co.uk will start using Teoma results sometime in the near future, I can't see any reason why they wouldn't, though there are bound to be some sponsored listings involved (Espotting or Overture) too.
