Welcome Ask Jeeves Espana

April 5, 2005

Ask Jeeves announces the launch of a Spanish version of Ask Jeeves.

Currently available at http://es.ask.com , the search service is expected to formally launch this summer at www.askjeeves.es. Ask Jeeves Espana, which is in beta, is based on the Company's flagship consumer search site Ask Jeeves (www.ask.com), and follows Ask Jeeves' expansion into the United Kingdom and Japan.

It is the first in a series of international growth initiatives to be announced by the Company this year.

"International expansion is an important component to our corporate growth strategy," said Steve Berkowitz, CEO of Ask Jeeves Inc. "We believe the Ask Jeeves brand has a tremendous opportunity to succeed in Europe because it offers the only differentiated world-class search experience to consumers."

Ask Jeeves Espana utilizes Ask Jeeves' proprietary Teoma� search technology, which determines a website's expertise on a subject, rather than just its link popularity. In addition to Teoma, Ask Jeeves Espana will include industry-leading features such as My Jeeves and the Binoculars site preview tool that make searching faster and easier.

Ask Jeeves Espana is the first in a series of European launches Ask Jeeves Inc. expects in 2005. The Company plans to leverage the strength of the Ask Jeeves brand, its differentiated technology that provides users with expert, everyday search functionality, and partnerships with leading consumer media companies to grow users in emerging markets.

Ask Jeeves expects to generate revenues from Ask Jeeves Espana through sponsored links.

"Spain is still an emerging marketplace and search will be on par with email in terms of popularity," said Miguel Acosta, Vice President of European Development for Ask Jeeves Inc. "So as the Spanish Internet population grows, more and more people will turn to Ask Jeeves to access the best of what the web has to offer: from finding information on news, weather and entertainment to browsing the best shopping and travel sites."

In related news, the Company also announced that Ask Jeeves Japan (www.Ask.jp ), a joint venture between Ask Jeeves Inc. and transcosmos, has come out of beta and signed an agreement with Google to provide the site with sponsored links.
