Google disabled my blogs

Do you mean they de-indexed your blogs? I've never heard of Google disabling a blog and I wouldn't think that was possible.

  Are you sure you didn't somehow violate their TOS?

  Oh, I see, blogspot blogs. Unfortunately, I haven't heard of too many success stories when it comes to getting this explained. If they feel it has violated their TOS, pffft!

  Unfortunately, that doesn't mean you have been doing the right thing for 7 years.
  
  Google is cracking down everywhere. What people were getting away with a month ago or a year ago is irrelevant. All sorts of people have had accounts banned.
  
  If you can read through every word of their TOS, and can honestly say that you haven't violated one thing, than you may have a case with them. But like Tina said, your chances are slim.

But where do I take my case? The only option they gave me is to verify my account via text message. I don't have a cell phone.
Is there some way I can contact them? A phone mumber?

Thanks

Did you try the contact us link HERE?

I just went there myself and see that someone else can report a TOS violation. You may have a competitor that knows the TOS better than you do and turned you in.

Yes, I have a very serious issue with a very unethical competitor.

Then that, my friend, is likely your answer. Your competitor ratted on you.

You were probably unknowingly violating some point of the TOS and your competitor found it, then brought it to Google's attention. And that is all Google needs to shut you down.

Please pay attention to what the above poster said about using freebie blogs. It's just not a good idea to build your business on them, as you put yourself completely at the mercy of their TOS. If you need to rebuild, buy yourself a domain.

this is the worst thing about the free blogger blogs: they own your blog and can close you when they want. If you have a successfull blog on blogger you should move it on your domain and host.
And worst thing worst, is almost impossible to contact them

Thanks

Yeah ... hope you can recover them, but that's exactly why it's best to have your own hosting and own blogging platform installed. No one can take it away unless you violate hosting TOS.

Well it' not going to affecty my business that much. I was only getting about a hundred hits a day to the blogs, maybe a hundred a month in adsense.
I run my real business off a real web site on a domain I own.

Thanks

They did that to me too. They disabled my 108 blogs on Blogspot. Been there and done that. But they waited until they were indexed on multipe search engines and all. I was #2 on yahoo in select categories too! Blogs were about a year old when they kicked me off of blogspot. I've made up my mind that Google does what Google will. They hate it when you are successful and kick you off at a whim. I've moved my highest traffic stuff away from them. They recently disabled a super-high earning website of a friend that was doing revenue sharing. Forget about Google and build your business away from those guys. They are bad news. They only people who do "okay". They hate overachievers.

Yeah if you go with Blogger Blog you need to at least Buy your Own Domain. Cant stress this enough !!

This is NOT to say that you still cant get Shut down for violation of TOS by Google , but I have researched this and have found that Google's crackdown on violations and
(subsequent 'shutdowns' ) have been with Blogger Blogs with still a Blogspot Domain !!

They seem to not go after Blogger Blogs whose Domain are owned by the individuals.

So spend the lousy $8 a year to Buy a Domain if you go with Blogger Blog. Dont take the chance !

  If your blogs are clean, no link spamming, dodgy scripts and so forth, just fill in the form and request a review. You should be back within 2 business days as long as you're legit. The good thing is that this will more or less immunize you against further competitor sabotage attempts.
  
  If you have to have a cell phone to get your account back, which means they really suspect you of something bad, get a free/cheap disposable pay-as-you-go phone(s). Put enough minutes on it to get your text from Google. Then sell it on eBay or Craigs List to get your money back. Of course, if you're outside the US this might not be as easy.
  
  Thanks

  What did you do to get your blogs back? And did you get any explanation as of why they did remove them in the first place? We may learn something useful...
