My blog closed by Google

Sorry to hear that, but you should know better: create your own "real estate" and use free blogs wisely.

As to your question, there is nothing you can do know - that I know of.

Hopefully you have all articles saved in your hard drive!!

Thanks

There are a lot of people this is happening to. Make sure you host the blog yourself and you will never have to worry about it.

If you are able to control the blog's redirection; which I doubt if it has been closed and deleted, use a 301.

Here is a little more info on it:
301 Redirect - How to create Redirects

It tells the search engine that your site has moved to a new domain but you retain the backlinks you had on the old domain.

If you can't redirect the blogspot to your new domain, you'll have to go through the links you got and see if you can manually change them to link to the new site; I haven't a clue how else you can do it.

I'd recommend that from now on you buy your OWN domains rather than using free sites; even if it is just a 99c .info; it's an OK start if you don't want to invest in a .com and is a lot more secure to you then a free blog; same goes for free hosting.

Thanks

If you have the articles on directories like EzineArticles.com or GoArticles.com, you can edit your resource box to direct the links elsewhere.

Get a paid domain with paid hosting. That way, you would not be at mercy of what any demi-God thinks about your site.

Why even bother about such hassles when you are trying to define and shape up your entire career over your business in a way?

That would take a LONG time.

I agree with above, use your own real estate, always use redirects off your own domain.

Unfortunately, we all need to protect ourselves whenever possible. It sucks to have it happen, but it's a good reminder for any newbies on the forum that spending the time and $5 a month for your own domain and hosting is well worth the effort.

Good news is that 301 redirects should work still, so at least you won't lose all of that backlinking time.

Was your blog on a blogging service, like blogger? or was it your own domain?

Sorry to hear that, i've heard this same story from so many people lately! But don't let it get you down, carry on!

Hmm.. and I heard this happened less regularly with Blogger than with other free blog hosts. I guess the only option is paid hosting these days - honestly, though, it's so much better than using a free service. You'll get more bandwidth, more control, it looks more professional.. absolutely worth it.

Thanks

I have seen it happen way too often lately. It all boils down to a few unscrupulous people who have used free blogs to market Scams. These has ruined it for those of use who are in this for real! And Google is NOT the only one cracking down on these idiots (because of whom we too have to pay). The FTC is also taking a closer look at internet marketers because of a number of claims regarding scams and frauds, and there are many people losing their sites, and business. So make sure everything you do is done RIGHT and legally.

Unfortunately there is not much you can do, with regards to your deleted blog. Consider getting a paid host and buying your own blog script. There are many programs out there that let you create one. Redirect your links from articles by changing the link in the sourcebox. You can also edit your signature at forums and blogs and then be patient and wait to see results with the new domain. Good luck.

Thanks

Wordpress.com is known for not being commercial-friendly... apparently, Blogger is following suit. Free platforms may be convenient, but they screw you over at the end of the day.

Join the club I made a post here on the product review forum here about how they deleted my blog. 600,000 Alexa ranking and moving down fast, ranking for some good keywords page rank 2 would prob be a 3 or 4 by now but oh well.

I was prepared at least and imported my blog to a self hosted Wordpress blog which I should of did from the get go. I have everything up@running and I am done with Blogger for good. It was actually for the best that it happened!

I am sorry to hear that they deleted your blog. They are targeting affiliate marketers, I agree!

Thanks

That why I only use third party blogging platforms them in ways that wouldn't kill my efforts if they disappeared. As some have said above, this drives home the fact that you need to be hosting your own content.

I am going to echo some of the other posters. While free blogs and whatnot are nice and can be helpful, I would highly recommend getting a domain name and hosting your own blog. It is secure that way and not really that expensive to be honest.

Thanks
