Originally titled as “What Mcdo Delivery Failed To Do”

I’m sure I’m not the only one who just suddenly craved for McMuffin and hash browns, and automatically typed in 8mcdo.com on her browser only to be welcomed by a big blob of green. No redirects. Not even a link pointing you to the right direction. Just an abandoned site that’s a big blob of green.

So I googled a couple of keywords, “mcdo delivery pasig”, “mcdo delivery manila”, “new 8mcdo website”, I tell you, I’ve tried all the important keywords and still — the new online mcdo delivery website did not show up anywhere. Tsk tsk. Pissed, I *almost* decided to just deprive myself of my morning craving, until ever reliable  Mommy Maia told me to try mcdelivery.com, or mcdodelivery.com, and after a couple of tries, we finally landed on the right URL: MCDELIVERY.COM.PH. (Ugh, imagine all the lost sales, people! Stoopid.)

What Mcdo should’ve done is pretty simple.

1. 301 redirect their old site to the new one to save not only the cached pages and link juice but also the significant amount of direct traffic; OR
2. if they’re really really too busy taking orders to tinker with their .htaccess, at least place a link in the old green blob (aka, the former 8mcdo.com site) pointing to the new one; OR
3. Hire/outsource an SEO Specialist to make their new website rank for important keywords. Ehem.

Anyway, if ever you landed on this site Googling for mcdo delivery from your cubicle in some office in Metro Manila, here’s a little help to find the new online Mcdonalds delivery. The URL is MCDELIVERY.COM.PH.

I wait for my mcmuffin nao.
