Ask Jeeves

Ask Jeeves is example of a search engine that answers questions. When a user enters a search term (or question), Ask Jeeves responds with possible questions that the user can ask followed by traditional search engine results. If the user then selects the question that he/she wants answered, Ask Jeeves then returns sites that answer that question.

The sponsored entries are provided by Google. The "Featured Sponsor" (right top) is from Sprinks. The main results are Teoma's relevant sites for the search phrase. Below this, Ask Jeeves also provides access to the top results for the search phrase on Looksmart and Sprinks. The "Browse by Subject" tab is an Ask Jeeves directory.

Sites are submitted to Teoma or Ask Jeeves to get into Ask Jeeves.

Teoma / Ask Jeeves: One of the most definitive spam definitions that I have found is at AskJeeves/Teoma who define the acts that will keep you from being ranked. Read this between the lines -- no spamming, no doorway pages, no redirection, and no cloaking.

Report spam: help@teoma.com The thing to remember is that you must have suitable URL content and be engineered to beat your competition within Ask Jeeves before you register your pages. Just registering with Ask Jeeves does not assure a suitable ranking.
