While Ask.com is a distant fourth in the top 4 search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing and then Ask.com – AOL is not included as it uses Google’s index even though it has about the same marketshare as Ask.com) it can provide traffic and is an important part of any SEO effort.
Ask.com does not allow URL submissions as most other search engines do, instead the ONLY way to proactively submit your site to Ask.com is via an XML sitemap ping. This ping is VERY EASY and takes no time at all. Here is all you have to do.
Use the URL listed below and replace, ‘www.MYSITE.com’ with you URL and make sure you have an XML sitemap at this location – www.MYSITE.com/sitemap.xml. It is that easy.
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.MYSITE.com/sitemap.xml
If you do not have an XML sitemap you can create a free one online here:
