Ask.com Sponsored Listings is an online marketing product for advertisers. Businesses can purchase online traffic by bidding for placement in search result pages. Sponsored Listings consists of a Web page's URL, title, site description and a keyword.
The number of clicks each of your Sponsored Listings receive is determined by what users are searching for across the Ask.com Network and how relevant your listings are to their needs. An Ask.com listing can receive hundreds or even thousands of targeted clicks per month.
The monthly campaign budget you set determines the maximum amount you are willing to spend on traffic in that campaign each month. If you reach a campaign's budget within a billing period, we will pause traffic to the listings in that campaign until the next billing period or until you raise your budget for this campaign.
Sponsored Listings get priority placement in search results. Placement of Sponsored Listings within the Sponsored Web Results section depends on the click-through-rate (CTR) and the maximum CPC for the listing's campaign.
The Ask.com Network is a collection of sites and services that have partnered with Ask.com to display the listings of our advertisers. Ask.com puts your message in front of millions of customers at the exact moment they're looking for the products and services you sell.
The Ask.com matching technology ensures that your listings will show up for common variations of the keywords you have selected. These variations include plurals, shared "root" words, and different word orders. For example, the targeted keyword phrase "Hawaiian Vacations" will also be returned for the keywords "Hawaii Vacation", "Vacation in Hawaii" and "Vacations in Hawaii". Your listing will not be returned for word synonyms or for other additional keywords that you have not purchased.
