Ask.com, formerly Ask Jeeves, is an Internet search engine that you can use to find relevant Web pages based on specific keywords. If you're a website owner, getting your website indexed and ranked in major search engines such as Ask.com can benefit the success of your website. To submit your site to Ask.com, you must have a sitemap in XML format uploaded to your Web server. You can then submit the sitemap URL directly to Ask.com using the Ask.com submission URL.
