The Lost in Seattle real-time map widgets track the daily life cycle of the city.
Now you can put the Lost in Seattle time-sensitive map on your web site or blog. Based on the 5,000+ business hours listed in Lost in Seattle, your users can see how "open" or "closed" Seattle is, throughout the day.

Because businesses open and close throughout the day, the colors of the map change frequently.


NEW! It's also a great way to get more visitors to your quality site.
If your site is Seattle-related, or a Seattle retail shop,
and we would recommend it to our users,
we'll link back to your site as well.

Link Back Guidelines
We link back to quality sites that recommend us by using our widgets. Google and other search engines assume links are "recommendations", so your site must be recommendable and at least somewhat relevant to a user interested in Seattle to receive a link.

Following Google's webmaster guidelines helps make a site recommendable. Also when recommending a site we look for things like:

  • significant original content
  • no popups, popunders, link farms, sites made for ads/SEO, unmoderated links, porn, objectionable content, etc
  • content unlike what we already provide
  • existed more than a year with frequent activity and maintenance
  • real and locally operated, not a cookie cutter site
  • has privacy policy
  • we love genuine, useful, unique, or at least entertaining sites!

Your site must get regular user traffic in order for us to detect you as a widget user.
Altered widget code is ineligible for linkback.
Sites that appear to be private or contain personal info won't be linked.
Links may appear in a variety of locations and change with the design of the site.
