Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings Officially Live

Posted by Lee Odden on Aug 15th, 2005 in Online Marketing |

Two weeks ago, Ask Jeeves announced their new sponsored listings program and today the company has announced the general availability of the program.

“Advertisers will receive premier placement on Ask Jeeves above Google AdWords, which will also continue to be distributed on Ask Jeeves. Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings is available immediately at http://sponsoredlistings.ask.com.”

Steve Berkowitz gave the keynote presentation at last week’s Search Engine Strategies conference where he described the new PPC program as a way to connect directly with advertisers and that he does not see the relationship with Google changing.

Ask Jeeves is the 7th largest global web property with a portfolio of web sites including: Ask.com, Teoma, MyJeeves, My Way, iWon, Excite and Bloglines. Ask Jeeves became a wholly-owned business of IAC/InterActiveCorp (NASDAQ: IACI) in July this year.
