Other Search Engines Altavista, Alltheweb, Teoma and many other search properties exist on the internet, although nowhere near the search volume of the big 3. Discuss any other search engines here.

Has anyone here ever received a signifiacant amount of traffic from ask.com? If so, I would like to hear it, I sure have not.

I wish Ask had more traffic. I just looked and our sites are placing well for almost all of our targeted keywords.

That said, we get next to no traffic from ASK.

Best of luck

I pull in a decent amount of traffic from aolsearch. I wonder why, are those Google results they are using?

I've never gotten anything from Ask - in my opinion, they're useless.

Every tried using them to search with? Not just for Real Estate, but for day-to-day stuff. Too often I find spam or junk pages high up in their rankings.

Not a fan here, as you can see.

Is it important to be indexed by them to improve serps on other SE's?
in general, don't worry about them, they're 5th place with something like 1.5% search market share.

Ask does have a great search engine, but with so few people using it...It's kind of pointless. It's amasing how many good search engines that are out there, but because of G, M & Y...they just don't get any attention.

I have not heard about any SEO when it comes to ask.com. Just follow the google webmaster rules and you will be strong on all engines.
