Ask Jeeves Gives Up On Banner Ads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Sunday January 5, 2003 @04:55AM from the giving-up-the-ghost dept.

WhatBusinessModel? writes "In another blow to online banner advertising, Ask Jeeves is announcing that it will stop running banner ads on its website in favor of more paid listings. Says Steve Berkowitz, president of Ask Jeeves Web Properties, 'I think banners have seen their day. They're not as compelling as they once were.' In contrast, he describes paid listings as 'kind of a next evolution of the yellow pages.'" Probably a change that will become more and more prominent in the search engine world.

ads which "pop up" in the page by Anonymous Coward · 2003-01-05 05:02 · Score: -1, Troll

What really pisses me the fuk off are those ads which appear on top of the page and have sound...if i had the chance to beat the shit out of one person who made one of those, i would enjoy it, it would almost be as good as sex (don't even try for the u don't get laid joke--i need to use more than fingers to count the number of girls)

Worst search engine ever! Try Google, try Dogpile, just don't wate your time with Ask Jeeves.

AskJeeves.com is still up and running? Do people actually use this gay Mr. Belvedere ripoff? I mean...if you are going to copycat something, why do a crappy 80's sitcom about an English butler?
