Who knows? Don't have anything to go by like a URL to have a look-see. Also,
bots can crawl your site without it being indexed, and you might be indexed
just not in the top 100 to 1000.

Man, I feel your pain!
This Teoma/Ask crawler alone is responsible for 5.6Gb of traffic on one of
my sites just last month, and the number of indexed pages did not move a
bit in several months! They have, however, added about 3000 pages about a
day or so ago. Besides, traffic from Ask.com is laughable compared to
Google. I'm SO-O-O pissed, I'm getting ready to disallow this bot from my
sites altogether.

On the other hand: maybe they supply results to someone worthwhile and not
only AskJeeves?


Sincerely,
Dmitri

Ask.com? Do they even give you something in return for all the traffic? They
probably just slow down your server never to give you any significant
benefits.

How long have ask.com been crawling your pages? Crawling and indexing are
separate and are done periodically I believe. The better the search
engines, the more rapid the cycles. You might just have to be patient.
