Gulp,

I had a story, last year i have registered 30 Subdomain using blogspot... The keyword i've seach is from google keyword tools. I create that for adsense purposes.. Few days after that.. Most of it has been disable by google... huhuhu.. Most of it just has 1 - 2 post but all have adsense panel...

Start from that i m not using blogspot, and adsense again... huhuhu only google search

Thanks

My first blog was deleted in half an hour only !

For this reason I always used hosted blogs.
They cost a little more but you can do whatever you like !

The problem was is that he was probably making money from it, and that's a no-no in Google's eyes. Google doesn't want anyone to make money online except Google. It's a monopoly, and it needs to be stopped. Hopefully, somebody big and rich enough will stand up and fight them for a piece of the market, and maybe we'll have a few choices.

IMO, Google has done more to destroy internet marketing than anyone else online. I know they ripped food from my mouth, and I don't like it.

Every single thread I've seen where someone talks about using Blogspot for a blog has included someone cautioning not to depend on it.

This may be something a bit les sinister, you know. In fact, I'd bet on it. I suspect it's backlash against the people who use it for link spamming, advertising black and grey hat techniques, and otherwise using the system in ways different than Google intended it be used.

Marketers are quick to yell about how evil people are for defending their own property, but much less quick to point out how we bring it on outrselves by our own actions. And yes, that means some innocent people get tarred with the same brush, but that can't be helped. It gets to the point where the only option is to say, "No exceptions." We do tend to whine when we can't have our cake and eat it too.

I wonder how someone like 'Griz' is feeling right now.

He has a highly ranked blog on Blogger in the Make Money Online niche. ..and he's often talked about the risks of being shut down by blogger/google. He's always said they were remote. I've got many Blogger hosted blogs so I see this as bad news.

Alan isn't the only one that has suffered from this. Others as well that aren't even close to being associated with that particular niche have lost their blogs..

I think it really came down to some form of SPAM that Google saw, or said that they saw. lol

I was planning on following the Johns Post about creating a blog empire with Plr. But I have decided instead to get a generic domain and use sub domains. I figure at the most it will cost em 10 to14 dollars a month. I plan a few other twists in this also.

That's probably why Google is zapping blogs left and right because they don't want feeder sites, mini-nets, or any type of crappy blog site whose only purpose of existing is to generate backlinks to your web properties.

I'm sure good sites are being caught in the line of the fire. Collateral damage.

I wasn't familiar with this blogspot site but I'm not sure why anyone would put their hard work on a site they have such little control over.

Registering a domain is less than $10. Hosting is is dirt cheap. For about $110 you're set for the year.

What if it's only purpose is to generate backlinks, but it is not crappy? It looks like they're even going after quality content sites now, if they detect a TOS violation that happens to get them a bit sideways. I am still flabbergasted that someone who knew this much about IM would park all their eggs in a blogger basket.

Blogger are removing the ftp function too now, so even if you were using them but publishing to your own domain - that's about to stop.

Time to ditch them all together if you want control of your site back.

Perhaps someone at Google figured out that this, along with some other recent moves, is generating tons of negative publicity for them. Blogger is a 'cash cow' for them in terms of Adsense revenue and if people move away from it due to them taking down well known sites it could hurt revenues. Remember, the real customers at Google are the big institutional stockholders and if they see even one quarter's revenue is down due to bad public perceptions...

What is that Blog pulling in a year anyway ?? Well, over a 100K ??
Just curious but what do you all approximate it pulls in ??

Are you serious? That blog doesn't doesn't pull in half of that
amount trust me.

I estimate that he makes somewhere in between $30,000 to
$45,000 yearly. And that's because he sells direct
advertisments. If he relied only on google, he would make
less.

If he built up a list though, he would make a lot more...
I don't know why he doesn't do it.

No1 , for "make money online" and you think he made about $3k - $4k per month ?

On what are you basing your estimate?

I don't know why he doesn't do it.

I dont know, I have a similar Site that does good and I tried building a List and it does not convert very well. Especially if you do CPA pay per leads like Survey Sites ( which is all I do on my one Blog) In my Case building a List became redundant. Better to just convert right then and there on the Blog and let them move on. They are looking for FREE ways to make money. This Niche is NOT the IM Niche which is full of bloggers and Webmasters looking to buy tools to get their Sites and Landing Pages earning more Money. The Work from Home Nich is totally different than the IM one

Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. None of us really know. Apparently, Google thought it did, and they have the last word. That's why backing up your files is so important. That way if something does happen, you won't miss a beat.

I know this is a bit old, I just noticed that one of my blogs on Blogger has been removed as well. Although it didn't have much content as I mainly used it for Adsense, I only noticed as my Adsense income for last month was lower than usual... and decided to check the blog.

Now, that's a nice revenue source lost

trust google to mess it up.....

they seem to be quite good at it.

on blogspot, anyway...

i used to have a few blogs over there - part of a structure for backlinking....

when the first one went, i just stopped working on them...

it seems that requests to unblock them are simply never received...

even for things you want to do on a free host, it seems blogspot is the last place to do it.

speaking from (frustrating) experience...
