TDAXP is on the case!
Ask.com contacts Catholicgauze! Check the comments section for the discussion so far

Ask.com Maps is a joke. The "cartographers" they hired to make their physical world map made mistakes then made more mistakes in an effort to fix the first errors. Embarrassing for Ask to say the least.
Throughout the past few days I have received hits from IP address from Ask.com. So did Ask fix their map problem or reply to concerns? No, they blacklisted Catholicgauze! When one searches for "Geographic Travels with Catholicgauze" or even "Catholicgauze" there are no results which directly lead to this blog! They honor other blogs like TDAXP. Yahoo and Google will show Geographic Travels with Catholicgauze at or very close to the top of “Catholicgauze” searches.
Why Ask? I point out a problem and you try to bury me and leave the problem alone. I really want to like your map service and even stated that. Your behavior of blacklisting users while being kicked around by Google is shocking.
As for blog readers I recommend you view the

Andy,
I would be more than happy to discuss the map, offers to help, and my fears about the search engine with you directly if you gave me a way to reach you. If you wish to contact me privately I do have my e-mail address on the main page.
I am glad you appreciate the comments. As I mentioned this is a very original effort and I wish it success.
As for the search engine results I am troubled. I know I could reach my blog directly on Ask before the Maps review. Then I received several hits from IP address from Ask and later the blog was no longer found on search results. It seems very suspicious.
I once worked for a prominent company so I know things can get very busy. I wish you the best, I wish the mapping project the best, and I wish the blog is returned on search results.
