MAPQUEST DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 We have discovered different websites resembling MapQuest that are utilizing the same MapQuest format, look and feel of the real and true 

"MAPQUEST.com"

When you open their webpage you get a very similar website that resembles MapQuest !!!

On these sites you can enter your starting point and your final destination. You will then get a route, just like you would on the real MapQuest.

These possible imposters are using different web addresses. Instead of using Mapquest.com they are using as an example, Mapquest, .biz, .org, .io, .info etc..

Or they utilize Mapquestdrivingdirections "dot" whatever but they will misspell something in Mapquestdrivingdirections, they will add an extra "s" to the end of directions or they will use some other misspelling to look like they are the real MapQuest.

This is an underhanded trick but they are getting away with it for now.

One of the fake sites has garnered a lot of web traffic, so be aware of the actual web address before you click to open a website that you think is the real Mapquest.

MAPQUEST DRIVING DIRECTIONS

 We recently researched on Duckduckgo and Google, what returns a person gets when they type in "MapQuest Driving Directions".

Of course one gets the official MapQuest website at the top of the page.

This is immediately followed by websites who appear to not be an official MapQuest website. However these websites do offer driving directions similar to that of MapQuest.

We actually think that these websites may be utilizing the same driving directions "search engine" that MapQuest utilizes.

For many years our website that you are currently on "MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com" was the third ranked listing when you typed in "MapQuest classic original" in most search engines which were Google, Yahoo, Bing, or DuckDuckGo.

We diligently tried to remain in the third position of returns, but the search engines were uncooperative in divulging their information on how they ranked a website in page rank of returns, and we eventually dropped off the face of the earth when a person typed in MapQuest Original , MapQuest Classic, or a combination or MapQuest Classic Original.

We went from the first page of results to virtual obscurity. We think this may have occurred for political affiliation and social justice reasons, such as the banning of many famous people from twitter.

We will never know!!!

Every professional SEO company, which stands for "Search Engine Optimization", claimed in order to be a top listed, in the first page rank of any subject that you had to have the following criteria:

1) Backlinks from other reputable websites.

2) Lots of pertinent information on your website.

3) Keywords

4) A dotcom web address.

5) Unique, interesting info, design, pictures or videos.

Our website MapQuestOriginal.blogspot.com never had ANY backlinks from other websites, yet we maintained the third rank on the first page of returns. So all of the professional SEO websites were wrong in the fact that a website HAD to have backlinks for good SEO.

We also never obtained the proper dotcom address the SEO companies said was required. Our address should have been "MapquestOriginal.com" instead we used "MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com" because it was free through Blogger, which is also Blogspot.com

That's all for today , please come back soon!

 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.

💔

 Hey Hey Hey!

We just went to the MapQuest website vie our cell phone, just to see how this website MapquestOriginal.blogspot.com looked.

Well much to our surprise MapQuest still doesn't get it. The get it fact is that MapQuest needs to be more user friendly.

Long ago MapQuest changed their format from user friendly and free to what many Mapquesters* deemed un-user friendly but still free. 

We personally like the option to turn off cookies and to not allow third party companies to track our every move online. Some websites make it very hard to turn off cookies or third party tracking companies.

We just tried to turn off cookies and third party tracking, but it was very difficult and we were not sure if it actually worked.

Well it seems that the problem from above was that we were using a VPN, a virtual private network that masks a users location and internet address. Our VPN shows that we were located in Europe, and Europe has different internet protocols and usage rules. In Europe you are given the option of turning off a websites cookies and third party trackers, but in the USA you're not even made aware of these options. To the best of our knowledge, this is how we think it works, we're not experts.

Once we turned the VPN off we were able to access Mapquest without giving any type of cookie or third party tracking/monitoring consent, we presume we have to accept cookie and third party trackers unless you go into your browser settings and disable or change the settings.

My neighbor says she doesn't care who tracks her or who spies on her, she just uses everything with no worries or concern. I wish I could be that way, but alas I can not, I don't like snooping, spying, companies who profit off of my info.

FYI~ Mapquest is still the best for Maps and Directions!!!

Mapquester* we coined this new term just now, a person who uses, or is a fan of MapQuest is a Mapquester. 

 Howdy Hey GPS and map Fans.

Its been Years since we started our MapQuest Original website..

We started it with the hopes of gaining wide spread viewership.

But the google algorithm's had a different objective.

Well we're not blaming Google , were blaming the folks at MapQuest.

You see when the internet was young there was only one place to obtain directions or maps and that

 was at MapQuest. 

There were no 

Google Maps

No Waze 

No Apple Maps

No GPS Apps

The only place to go was good ole reliable MapQuest.

Then the folks at MapQuest decided to make some changes, they were not good changes.

MapQuest at one time was the number one go to website for directions and or Maps.

After their format change things kinda went downhill. Google Maps and  various GPS apps

trounced MapQuest. MapQuest was no longer user friendly, when you went to their website you had to

 relearn how to use it, it was no longer user friendly, it was all about adds and ad revenue.

Just like Sears and Kmart, MapQuest was once the KING.

The sad part about MapQuest's demise is that we will never know the truth as to why they chose their

 destiny of suicide/death.

We have spent hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours on our Mapquest Original website, but its

 time has come, Elvis has left the building.

 And unfortunately gone, this will be our last Mapquest Original post.... there's no point in whipping a

 dead horse................................

If we had any actual fans we would thank YOU....

In parting here is a picture of me:

Mapquest classic DIRECTIONS

 After all of these years Mapquest still rocks.

There’s an internet ranking service that’s called Alexa. It has nothing to do with the voice command device that we’ll never use, we won’t use the Alexa voice command device because we feel like we’re being snooped on by a roomful of Alexians, but that’s just our phobia.

The internet ranking service Alexa has Mapquest currently ranked at 456. Mapquest’s 90 day ranking is surging upwards. These numbers are impressive due to the pandemic that is ongoing and because not many people are traveling nowadays.

People are working from home and buying many things online.

Lawyers, insurance, Doctors, Zoom...you name it, and everything is possible to be done online. Although we haven’t been able to get an oil change done online...yet.

Even though people aren’t doing much driving, or traveling, Mapquest is still a viable candidate in the driving directions and map business. This is a great accomplishment with everyone having free GPS on their cell phones.

Keep Rocking It Mapquest!

CATERWAULING and FALLING For FALL Y’ALL

 We’re not going to caterwaul or bawl about fall because it may raise our 

Cholesterol.

Sorry but we hate FALL, Y’all 

Why?  Because it means summer is over, and summer is always too short. 

Right after fall comes winter, the only time we like winter is during Christmas 

And New Years.

But we’re going to promote Fall just because it’s a good time to travel. 

And when we travel guess what website we visit.

MAPQUEST

It’s a Good time to go see those dreaded leaves die, oops did we say that Out Loud? 

What we meant to say was it’s a good time to go and watch the “COLOURS”.

We prefer the vibrant colours of an action adventure movie on a 84” to 105” flat screen tv with Dolby 7.2 

surround sound.

The great outdoors are also great, nice campfire, stars, relaxation,  ahhhh....yessss...

We took a pic of these several years ago and posted it, the paint could use some freshness.

GOOGLE MaPs

 Who still uses MapQuest?
We’re guessing the numbers are dwindling from their hay day when they were the one source everyone turned to online for directions and maps.
 Nowadays almost  everybody uses Waze, Google maps or GPS on their cell phones, or they get their directions provided from a newer automobiles GPS.

Who really cares about directions or maps when all of the other important things are going on in the world. Like the 2020 election, impeachment, Russia Russia Russia , Ukraine, global catastrophic weather, and I’ve gotta remember to buy milk next time I’m at the market.

Speaking of milk, why didn’t the cow want to play tennis???
Because she wasn’t in the moooood.

So here we are with our Mapquest Classic Original website, we’ve been at it for several years now. We’ve covered many subjects like Lawyers - injury auto criminal asbestos mesothelioma..., insurance, mesothelioma, donate (especially cars) , donate anything, domain hosting, one of my fav’s is classic or antique cars, yep we’ve run the gamut here on “Mapquest Original” aka “Mapquest Classic Original”.

We’ve got hundreds of pages of dialogue and some very unique photos. Some of our ramblings are orchestrated and some are just the orchestra tuning up.
So here are some more of our award winning photos!!

Driving Donate Howling Dogs

Mapquest is the bomb, the numero Uno (not the card game UNO) but without a doubt the world’s champion of driving directions and Maps !!

MapQuest driving directions are very beneficial when you are going somewhere, which usually involves driving or walking, and when you drive or walk you use your Feet, but when you walk you use your feet which is where the term foot traffic comes from.
 When people are on their feet a lot they may complain about their “dogs”  as in, “my dogs are aching”. We personally prefer to say “my dogs are howling, they’ve been barking at me all day”

In the world of websites you want foot traffic which is called internet traffic, and that is when people find and/or visit your website.

One way to obtain internet traffic is to use certain popular topics or key words. Below is a list of some of the most popular topics or keywords.

1. Sell Annuity Payment
2. Mesothelioma Law Firm
3. Donate Cars in MA Boston
4. Insurance Cheap
5. Donate Your Car for Kid
6. Hard drive Data Recovery Service
7. Criminal Defense Attorneys Florida FLA
8. Best Criminal Lawyers in Arizona Phoenix
9. Motor Replacements
10. Asbestos Lawyers (if you're a night owl you hear &see these on late night tv daily at night)
11. Car Insurance Quotes Denver CO
12. Dayton Freight Lines
13. How to Donate A Car in California
14. Donating a Car in Maryland
15. Donate Cars Illinois & Chicago
16. Donate Your Car Sacramento

Many of these key words are fueled by lawyers who spend huge amounts of dough on advertising.

Since we’re kind of on the subject of dogs, here are some cute dog pictures to bark about.

Babbling Baboon Breath Bubble Headed Booby

Why You Babbling Baboon Breath, Bubble Headed Booby
And Business Services and Bail Bonds?

No one has been more lost than the occupants of the fictitious Jupiter 1 spacecraft on the 1960's TV show "Lost in Space."

The SciFi outer space show originally aired back in the 1960s with many episodes being in black and white, it is now aired in reruns by METV.
Also there was the Lost In Space movie of 1998 a SciFi adventure film directed by Stephen Hopkins starring William Hurt, Matt LeBlanc, and Gary Oldman.

One of the favorite characters on the TV show was Dr. Smith who was a stowaway aboard the spacecraft called the Jupiter 1. Dr. Smith had a very eloquently elaborate vocabulary.
Many of his creative sayings were directed derogatorily at the Robot, one of everyone's favorite was calling the robot a
"Babbling Baboon"
Which we have took the liberty of embellishing into

"Why You Babbling Baboon Breath, Bubble Headed Booby.
And Business Services and Bail Bonds."

We threw in the Business Services and Bail Bonds just because it creates a tongue twisting alliteration and is nonsensical and has no meaning other than being a website keyword experiment.

So any way back to Lost In Space, if they had used Mapquest then maybe, just maybe they wouldn't have made that wrong turn at Pluto and they wouldn't have gotten lost.
