It's the same old story. Search engines being bought up by another search engine. This time Ask Jeeves has snapped up Iwon and Excite, doubling the amount of search traffic that Ask Jeeves had prior. Of course they only had 3.5% of the traffic, so this isn't a remarkable figure. Great news for Ask Jeeves. This should make the others stand up and take notice.
Earlier Ask Jeeves announced discontinuation of it's ad program called Index Express. This service was geared for larger advertisers. The services for customers submitting more than 1,000 pages will remain, but the XML data feed service is no longer. Many doubted that the service was producing any real results.
