In the world of search engines, there is Google, and well, everyone else. Google
commands almost 43% of all web searches, with Yahoo in second place at 28%. MSN is third, and Ask.com queries tally only about 6% of online searches. But things are looking up for Ask.com (formerly Ask Jeeves.) Walt Mossberg, the technology columnist for
The Wall Street Journal, recently praised Ask.com as a credible alternative to Google. And the number four search engine has decided to launch their own television advertising campaign. Commercials are scheduled to air on
NBC's Today Show,
Saturday Night Live, and
Will and Grace. Yahoo tried television advertising a few years ago, but retired their campaign.
Marketing Blurb wishes Ask.com well with this effort.
