Ask Jeeves and Lycos has made a deal: Lycos will show results provided
by the database of Ask, apart from FAST and Looksmart--a good move to
be more credible!
Lycos has made a deal with Ask Jeeves: Lycos search results will have the database provided by Ask.
Early this morning, Lycos listed Ask Jeeves results, which replaces
listings generated by Norway's FAST Search and Transfer Company. It is
clear that Ask and Lycos are struggling to compete in a sector
dominated by the powerhouses Google, Yahoo and MSN.
Many believe Ask Jeeves as the fourth most important search engine,
which has quality results and innovative paid-ad system. Ask Jeeves is
growing and looking to gain share-market more in the coming two
quarters.
It looks as if Lycos has decided to re-build itself
completely. Until yesterday, its search results comprised FAST and
Looksmart. And last week, Lycos had announced another deal about
combining the databases of four well-known online dating sites. This
was a part of Lycos’s growth upgrade. And it is clear that the deal
with Ask Jeeves will make Lycos more credible and a good challenge
before its rivals!
