Ask Owns Ask.com Technology
Ask.com adds a new dimension and level of authority to search results through its approach, known as: Subject-Specific PopularitySM.
To determine the authority—and thus the overall quality and relevance—of a site's content, Ask.com uses Subject-Specific PopularitySM. Subject- Specific Popularity ranks a site based on the number of same-subject pages that reference it, not just general popularity. In a test performed by Search Engine Watch, Ask.com's relevance grade was raised to an "A" following the integration of Ask.com 2.0.
