Slideshare - Account Deactivated

Frustrating. I had it about a year and had uploaded about 10-12 documents.

Financial-related. They were targeting a specific key phrase.

I looked at Slideshare and see plenty of spammy crap. But they remain. Yet mine was taken down.

Has this happened to anybody else, and if so...what are alternatives?

    Rank your own pages, no point in ranking another sites pages.

    I assumed I gained a little bit of "respect" from Google with Slideshare. Perhaps not.

      Google doesn't care about slideshare pages (Google source). That slideshare spam screenshot below is from Googles own web page.

      Guys here's where I was going with the comparison of EZA & slideshare.

      This is Google deindexing a page (screenshot below, source).

      My point is, don't spam out slideshare & connect it to things like a legit money site, etc...

      Good luck, considering Google is telling you what they don't like.

      BTW, that screenshot is directly from Googles own web page, not something on some random web page.

    Here's another slidshare page Google has classified as spam, looks like slideshare is on Googles radar.

    I guess the difference was that mine were not spam. They were typically 3-4 page documents that had original content and no links at all.

      Did you build a lot of links to the documents?

    No. I did not buy or build any links to the documents. OK. Maybe a StumbleUpon link or Delicious, but that's all.

    Perhaps a competitor complained. I see plenty of incredibly spammy insurance Slideshare presentations that are still up.

      Well then that makes it ok, lol.

      It's not like Google is going to slap all the spam on the net at one time, it's an ongoing process...

      I've already shown you 2 slideshare slapped examples that came directly from Google, so go do whatever you need to do on slideshare.

    "Well then that makes it ok, lol."

    No, it doesn't.

    "It's not like Google is going to slap all the spam on the net at one time"

    Actually, Slideshare did the slapping. Google would never have removed my content because it was original, relevant and not spammy.

    Regardless, I have moved on.

    Thanks for sharing your SlideShare experience with us. I now believe that it will be better to write on your own blog and do some SEO for you blog to rank it higher.
