They might become a real threat to the big three. Might we start talking about the big 4? The results are pretty good from what I have seen...even if they don't have me as #1.

I just did a search for phoenix real estate, and got greatlasvegashomes on the second page, not quite there yet.

Results from Louisville look pretty good. Some junk, but mostly relevant for main RE kw phrases. I am currently #3 for main words.

They are quickly moving up my Urchin reports (now #3--ahead of MSN) in terms of Search engine referrals.

Their TV ads seem to be building traffic. I will be interested to see how they do...

The page they have indexed for us is from last year, so I dont see it getting any good placement for awhile. Not that I care, I dont know anyone that uses ask.com, and I have never heard anyone say "when I get home i'll 'ask' it and see."

But none the less, they are making headway.

I know that Ask.com popularity has increased, what I'm not sure though is it's relevance of the resaults as it doesn't seem to update them often. It still displays a mortgage site that I have de-activated almost a year ago!

I couldnt say for sure, but they come up with different results so I would assume that no they dont. I do know they are affiliated with thier link program in some way, but cant remember exactly what. Doesnt really do a lot of good now does it...

Again, this is an educated guess.
