Ask.com has been advertising in the midwest lately. Maybe they'll bubble up? Don't see much from them on my sites. I get some traffic from BellSouth. Well enough that I noticed it.

yea, I've seen some of the ask.com ads... was thinking if they keep up the ad campaign they might be able to pull a little more market share... I haven't seen much from them either, but I do get a little traffic from them on some of my sites...

I haven't really noticed bellsouth... tho, I'll have to look at my stats... probably am getting hits from them for something on at least a few of my sites...
