I'll have to contribute at a later date. I have to agree about your point of bringing webmasters on board - it's hard to overestimate the importance of the tech community in helping to build a brand like Ask. Just look at how Google was built on the backs of SysAdmins worldwide who made it the default homepage for years. Peter - Sorry I didn’t jump in on this meme as promised.

Spider more deeply and agressively. Don't avoid dynamic URL's 2. Freshen the index more frequently. 3. Allow webmasters to submit their URL - yes it is a pain, but it gives a webmaster a stake in the Ask engine. It one way of getting webmasters involved in Ask. 4. Increase the size of the index.
