NewMediaZero: Ask Jeeves removes banner ads from UK search site

AskJeeve's U.K. site will follow the U.S. example and eliminate banner ads. Said Chris Babayode, a VP of sales and business development said:

"Banner ads dissuaded people from visiting. More people will come to our site to search and we'll increase the frequency of searches if we take off banner ads, and our other ad products will do better."
