Search Engine Ask.com
Earlier this year, Ask.com underwent an extreme makeover. Ask.com relaunched itself with a sleek and clean user interface loaded with tons of options.
After coming to the conclusion that I use Google way too much for searching only to get lackluster results, I was determined to give some other search engines a try. This weekend I spent playing around with Ask.com and was quite pleased with my search results. Since I needed to write an article about games, I did a search for spooky card games since it soon will be Halloween. The Ask.com results were just what I was looking for. Searching Google with the exact same phrase did not net the same results. In fact, on the first page of the Ask.com results was listed just what I was searching for. I did not have the same luck with Google.
With Ask.com you can sign up for an account where you can essentially bookmark your search results, making it easy to find them later. Add your own tags, so your results will be categorized. It’s an easy interface that makes it simple to find past search results.
For webmasters who want their website crawled by Ask.com, there isn’t a “submit your website” form. Ask suggests that you have a sitemap of your website. This way if they haven’t stumbled upon your site from a link that they can learn about it through your site map. To get more information on Ask.com, visit their about page that is loaded with useful information.
