Ask.com? Do they even give you something in return for all the traffic? They
probably just slow down your server never to give you any significant
benefits.

How long have ask.com been crawling your pages? Crawling and indexing are
separate and are done periodically I believe. The better the search
engines, the more rapid the cycles. You might just have to be patient.
