Ask Jeeves was founded in 1996 in Emeryville, California, launching askjeeves.com in April 1997. Ask Jeeves UK launched in 2000 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ask Jeeves Inc.
In March 2003 Ask Jeeves has achieved an average of 6.5m unique visitors in the UK who perform more than 39 million searches a month.
The Ask Jeeves search index is powered by Teoma, a technology acquired by Ask jeeves Inc. in 2001. Teoma adds a new dimension to search results-authority. Instead of ranking results based upon the sites with the most links leading to them, Teoma analyses the Web as it naturally occurs - in its subject-specific communities - to determine which sites are most relevant.
Ask Jeeves can offer advertisers solutions to raise awareness of their brand whilst at the same time implementing direct response campaigns that can maximise effective return on investment.
