I’ve been watching and predicting for a while that AskJeeves was a re-up-and-comer. The recent acquisition of Jeeves by Barry Diller’s InterActiveCorp only strengthened that analysis. The number of searches on AskJeeves grew by 16% from Q1 to Q2. AOL also grew by 15%, but since they currently share results with Google, I don’t see that as really being separate from Google from a pure SEO perspective. Jeeves continues to add great technology to their portfolio and is just as active in the development of their engine as anybody.

If you’re not already, make sure you’re monitoring your AskJeeves traffic and search positions. Here is the article from Reuters:
