Think Jordan knows ASKJ will be terminated by Google??

Bambi spins again, "Ask Jeeves claims to currently have 3.5 percent of the search market share, which translates to roughly 680 million quarterly search queries, said Jordan Rohan, an analyst at Schwab SoundView. Jeeves management had said that the company's proprietary search site had been gaining market share in search. But many observers were concerned that Jeeves might need to expand its distribution in order to maintain a favorable economic agreement with Google. This was due to Jeeves' increasing reliance on Google -- where Jeeves derives 67 percent of its sales. Rohan believes that Jeeves can now negotiate a higher revenue share of 90 percent versus the current 80 percent for paid clicks."
