Ask Jeeves, Inc. recently announced Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings.  Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings is a new search engine marketing product that will allow advertisers to purchase, manage, and optimize search engine advertising campaigns on Ask Jeeves and its advertising syndication network.  Ask Jeeves Sponsored Listings replaces the Company's Premier Listings product with an open-auction system that they say will provide easier access for a diverse range of search advertisers.
