Ask Jeeves, About.com Ink Distribution Pact Ask Jeeves, About.com Ink Distribution Pact Paul Jones
Ask Jeeves and About.com, a leading network of niche vertical sites, Friday forged a content distribution agreement.
The deal calls for Ask Jeeves (ASKJ) to appear on all of About.com's (BOUT) search results pages. Also, Ask Jeeves will provide About.com users with another resource to find answers to their questions.
In turn, About.com will have placement on all Ask Jeeves question response pages. Ask Jeeves users will now receive access to new content by linking directly into relevant articles in About.com's network of topic-specific sites.
"By adding About.com as a metasearch partner we are bolstering the Web resources that consumers can tap into for answers at Ask.com," said Ted Briscoe, senior vice president and general manager of Ask Jeeves' Consumer Question Answering Service.
