I'm a fan of the actual Ask.com UI, but yes as for trying to manage anything on the campaign side of the house - good luck! Very good post.

The important thing is that your campaigns at least break even in terms of ROI. My rank would probably put Ask.com at about the same tier as adCenter. Although adCenter gives you numbers, there is somewhat of a massive "grand canyon"-like gap between estimated search numbers and actual traffic. Not having those numbers in the program interface is worrisome though, it doesn't instill much confidence in the search engine.
