after all, I’ve predicted (over one year ago) that Yahoo and Bing will be (both) sold to Google for $1 in 2012…

ASK is slipping.
I can’t see how they have even 3.6% – honestly.

It must come from providing the secondary feed to parking companies.

For us, our PPC campaigns on ASK, YAHOO and Google all had different results.

We found that the ASK PPC campaign was pretty much worthless.
Yes, clicks were cheaper, but they never converted.

I think people have lost faith in ASK, both from an advertising standpoint (as I just noted) as well as a “general user search” standpoint.

This just seems like a gimmick to lure people in.

(Maybe I’m just biased since I blew money over there with no results at all).

I will say, the customer service was OK though.
