    Most sites get fewer than 1% of their traffic from Ask, and no amount of tweaking will increase that by much - so be careful; your changes may increase your Ask referrals to 2% and halve your Google referrals in the process.

    Personally, I'd not bother. A well made, clean site will do as well as any in any quality search engine.

    It would still be interesting to know if anyone has researched this. Ask seems to remain a bit of a mystery, perhaps because it is written off most of the time.

    Trouble is, few will take the time and risk to research 'Ask', when the maximum gain is so small.

    But the basic rules really are the same across the SEs. In the 'ask jeeves' days, they had a few 'tricks' up their sleeve on analysing content, but I suspect the others have caught up by now.

    Ask has its own crawler going under this user name - Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Ask Jeeves/Teoma; +http://about.ask.com/en/docs/about/webmasters.shtml)

    You will notice from your raw server log files that most search robots use Http Version: HTTP/1.0 while Google alone (at least at the time of writing) uses version 1.1 which has better caching and bandwidth optimization features.
