When you say your email got banned...where did you get a notice that it was banned?

Where were you posting backlinks...forums, blog comments, ect?

I wouldn't let me register - A little notification box popped up and told me my email address was banned - then I just changed only that on the form and voila - it went through.

No. First time.

That's strange - I've never heard of that happening. Have you seen it on other sites or just that one?

I ran into being banned a couple from a couple of other sites. One told me my ip address was banned - which is a public library's static ip - I thought fair enough. I assumed the other time was the same until now.

Thanks for the answers. For me it is all interesting. The search for relevant blogs is the rub - I've been using Tweetdeck and searching the twittersphere for "new blog post: [keyword}" it works ok except the page rank of the blogs is usually 0 or 1 (if lucky) and they are no-follow, which isn't as valuable as do-follow - from what I've been told.
Any other suggestions on finding good relevant blogs?

I run a couple of forums and yes .. there is a blanket blacklist or two available to us.

Just stop spamming your links around and you won't have to worry about it. There is no central registry. Mods have to clean this up as it comes.

The reason why you are having trouble is that you are not really trying to contribute value. Shortcuts don't really work in the long term.

You need to start building a proper business - otherwise you will frustrate yourself for a very long time.

You might be on the stopforumspam.com list. They maintain a centralized list and make it available to forum and blog admins through api lookups via plugins. I only know this cause one of my email addresses for profile links made the list and was flagged by a forum that I had never visited before. The filter they were using directed me to the stopforumspam.com site. That was over a year ago and I no longer do the packets and rarely do any forum profile links anymore.

If you can't login then your e-mail provider banned you. Are you using GMail?

Simple rule of thumb I follow for blog commenting. I use my first name + from (or at) the anchor to my site, and I enter the same website name in the website field. In the body I make sure to provide a comment that is relevant and provides value to what's being discussed. The comment itself is anywhere from a couple sentences to a couple paragraphs. And I proofread it for spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

Never been banned and my comments generally get approved. I often get an e-mail notification from the blogger's own reply to whatever comment I made, and this is something I haven't been making enough use of: I should be following up with a reply to those replies because for the minute or two it would take me to do it, there is more than a back-link that could come of it.

Those possibilities are increased traffic from those blogs (I don't back-link my competition, but my niches have customers far beyond my competition) as I back-link for potential traffic as well as the link juice, and even possibilities of guest blogging or a back-link in a blog article to a post on my own blog (IM is a long-term thing for me, not a fly by night venture, and I therefore always keep an eye to long-term or distant rewards and gains, rather than focusing on the immediate ones).

In other words, to get the most out of your back-linking, and get them approved without worrying about getting banned, think beyond just the link juice from the link itself. That extra minute you spend will not only increase the chances of getting it approved, but may create additional opportunities beyond the link itself.

For that matter, its a philosophy worth applying to all of your IM efforts. One of the best pieces of advice I ever heard here was within a couple days of joining, and was one sentence along the lines of 'you will go farther in IM if you raise your gaze above IM.' Translated: don't base your efforts from the POV of what you're getting out of it, but think instead of what the other party is getting out of it and focus on providing it.

Back-linking is one element, but it should apply to every other aspect of your IM efforts (for example, I don't use themes and customization based on what I like, I base it on what's going to appeal to the demographic the niche is targeting - for one site that means a bolder look, for another a more understated approach, etc.).

Good post Spyder.

You'll find that plenty of blog owners are happy to approve your comment as long as it's on-topic. (No, "Great Post!" isn't enough.) Just provide a relevant and thought-out comment. Actually try to contribute to the post and you'll be fine.

Sorry to hear that. Just keep putting out good original content and eventually it will work out. We are still in the trial and error phase of this business which makes it so exciting.

Might possibly be the forum has been getting a lot of complaints from a particular range of IP addresses, and decided to ban them and or the domain
