The Internet is still the WWW

 uhm... thats WILD WILD WEST 

not WORLD WIDE WEB.

We've been trying to figure out the internet for about 25 years!

And guess what? We still do not have a clue.

We created this website WWW.MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com

In order to generate income. 

To do so, a web page has to get traffic. A way to get traffic is to

 appear on the first page of results when the subject is entered. If a

 person typed into a search engine Mapquest Classic or Mapquest

 Original

they would get a search results page that would list websites related

 to Mapquest Original and or Mapquest Classic, and our webpage

 used to be number 3 on that list! Which meant that some people

 would see it and click on our Mapquest Original page and view it.

In order to rank number three on a search results query it was

 mandatory that a webpage have 

1, Good interesting original content.

2. Backlinks (other popular websites that link to you) 

3. An ample volume of content.

4. A privately owned and paid for domain name.

5. Good design, pictures, video, graphics.

Our Website Mapquestoriginal has three of the above five items.

Every web designer or page rank specialist says that you cannot

 obtain page one results without having "Backlinks".

We however do not have not one single solitary backlink, yet we

 obtained a page rank of number three on page one in a search result.

We also never purchased the domain name WWW.Mapquest.com

We continue to use WWW.MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com because

 it is free to use the blogspot.com web address. In hind site we

 probably should have purchased and used MapquestOriginal.com

But it is no longer a concern because our page rank now has fallen off

 of the planet. We can not even locate our web page in search results.

 So we are being punished by some one, we dont know who or why

 and probably never will!!!

But it doesn't matter because MapQuest has dropped off of the

 proverbial MAP.

Every one now uses GPS on their cell phone or on their vehicle.
