Ask really takes a long time, Sam.

Have you head of Google's Sandbox? Well, Ask's is even worse

It took me a while, one your site ranks well on Google, MSN and Yahoo it will start to rank well on Ask too!

Getting indexed in Ask?
It's easy. Get a handful of links from topical blogs and sites. Be patient.

Getting ranked in Ask?
I dont think it's worth the effort.

I believe you are right. I'm more concerned on getting ranked on google, yahoo and msn.
