Submit Your Sitemap To Ask.com
Some time in 2007, Ask.com added sitemap support to its search functions. That simply means that if you have a sitemap for your website then Ask.com can and will crawl it. That is not a guarantee that your website will be indexed. But its no guarantee that your site will be indexed at Google, Yahoo!, or MSN either. So that’s nothing new.
Having a sitemap does mean that your site will get crawled. The protocol was established by agreement between the three leading search engines so Ask.com was late to the game. Better late than never.
According to Ask.com’s Help Files, there are two ways to submit your sitemap. You can include a line in your robots.txt document or ping it. Here’s the line of text for your robots.txt:
SITEMAP: http://www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml
To ping your sitemap submission to Ask.com, use this ping URL:
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.the URL of your sitemap here.xml

Submitting sitemaps is easy on all the major search engines, the only difference is that ask uses a URL you must enter and everyone else uses a form to submit sitemaps. I think forms are more user friendly but as long as it works its good I guess.
