Internet search engine Ask Jeeves has announced its first ever annual profit.

The US firm made a global operating profit of $22m (£12m) in 2003, compared to a loss of $5.4m in 2002.

Ask Jeeves' total revenue for the year came in at $107.3m, a $42m increase on 2002's $65m figure, with money coming from placements and sponsorships.

The company, which has an autonomous UK operation, is the world's second most popular internet search engine, but still far behind market leader Google. Ask Jeeves has a global share of 6%, compared to Google's more than 70%.

I do like ask jeeves it's a good way of finding things. I used to like google but I just can;t find what I want anymore. ask Jeeves just seems to get better if you know how to ask for things.

Thanks for the comments, becki - you know, I haven't actually checked out Ask Jeeves for a long time. Maybe I should have a look again.
