Google Deletes my Blog ?? An Example of Why You Need to be Prepared and Take a Plan of Action !!

I have been blogging for almost 3 years now. I have been with Google's free Blogger all that time with my own self hosted Domain. But in March of this year I decided that I would move some of my Sites over to Wordpress where I have more control. But I kept my two money sites at Blogger because they were doing so good so I figured why change a good thing, right.

But during this time I was always prepared in migrating these two blogs over to WP in case Google slammed the hammer down on me.

Well, last week look what I got from Google:
"This blog has been locked due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations. You may not publish new posts until your blog is reviewed and unlocked.
This blog will be deleted within 20 days unless you request a review. "

Luckily, I have been backing up ALL my Posts on these two Blogger Blogs. And I simply imported all these Posts to a new WP Blog. And I went to GODaddy and pointed my Blog Domains to Hostgator where I now have my own hosting account .

So no sleepless nights for me.

And I want to stress to anyone using Blogger (for serious monetary purposes) to at the minimum have your own Domain name. And on top of this be prepared to switch to WP in case Google puts the axe down on you.

You newbies out there who are content with just using free Blogger do yourself a huge favor and TAKE ACTION and transfer over to Wordpress and get your own hosting. Paying $10/month is nothing compared to the heartache you will have if your Blog is deleted. At the least be prepared to migrate over to WP in case Google does to you what they did to me !! You will NOT regret it .
