Ask.com anti-Google campaign on the London tube by Lars Plougmann.
Search engine Ask.com buys advertising on public transport to protest against people choosing to use Google for internet searching. The danger with campaigns like this is that gullible politicians start backing it and call for regulation.

The hypocrisy is unreal. Google automatically indexes our site www.silverstall.com however Ask does not because it is not a web-site belonging to a multi-national retailer.
Anyone can submit a site to google however you cannot submit a site to Ask - don't believe me - then just try and submit a site to Ask and see what you get.
The agenda of Ask is to move control of the net into a few hands of super-rich companies. Support this campaign and you are destroying the small buisness which relys on googles autoamated ranking system.

@jeffhal2069,
you may be able to submit your site to Google through their webfrom but it's not guaranteed that they'll index your site. It just depends on your incoming links. Both searchengines will index your site once you have other pages pointing to your site. If you have no link pointing to your site google won't index your site either...

Hi Klatschaffe
Thank you for your comment which confirms that Ask.com is no different to Google and that their corporate advertising masquerading as a social movement is a lie.
