An article on the Christian Science Monitor about the Google Answers service. The article also mentions other similar services and the hazards of using them.

Ask Jeeves Switches from Overture to Google
Ask Jeeves has reached a deal with Google to provide its sponsored links. These will come from Google's ad program, not their web search. Ask Jeeves said that the deal was purely a financial one. This has been yet another loss for pay-per-click search engine Overture. The switch won't happen until September 3rd.
