Ask.com were not categorized as major search engine in my place, but it still be important for us (webmaster) to get visitor via Ask.com. Ask.com did not have webmaster tools like the others search engine (read my previous post about webmaster tools url), but we can submit our sitemap to Ask.com

Submit sitemap to Ask.com should do it manually. It easy to do, just as easy as browsing!. Before you do this, make sure that your website already have sitemap file created!
