Blogger deleted my blog, they may delete yours too
I woke up one morning to check on my blog only to be informed that the blog does not exist. At first I thought that I had mis spelt the url address so I tried again the response was the same, blog does not exist. I began quacking, I thought that may be some one had stolen my password and changed everything, but no, that was not the case.
I had spent a lot of time working on this particular blog, a few days ago, I had celebrated reaching page rank 4. And yes, thing where moving well since I was getting some good adsense bucks, I would not have cared much if I was talking about page rank 0 or may be page rank 1. I had no way to recover anything; blogger had already taken a decision even without giving me a warning,
Up to now, I do believe that the crime blogger put on me was true, and even though it was, I do not think banning some ones site with in a minute is the best thing to do without any consultation. There are some thing we give so much attention in life and we loose them, it’s like we have lost every thing, that’s how I felt when I lost my dear blog, I had given it all the time it need, all the care and all the love.
This is how it happened and I hope you will also take care before your blog is banned, two days before my blog was banned, I made a custom search on the do follow blog to comment to, this is because I knew that commenting on blog is good for the ranking of my site as most of you will agree, so I types the word jobs in the search directory for blogs and I got 100 results.
Since I have no home internet and I rely on public cafe internet which is expensive down here, commented on 6 blogs when my money I had paid for got over. I went back to my room and a few days later I read from my mail inbox that;
“Your blog has been deleted for SPAM because you commented on blogs with an aim of increasing your listing in search engines”
I will deny that I commented on those six websites with a hidden agenda of promoting my blog as many of the “others” do, but I do not think that was too much for me to get banned. I did not know that only 6 blog comments can have me banned, I still think blogger should have warned me. With my only source of income gone, I am planning to use other free blog plat forms which allow adsense earning, if you know any good one, please list it in the comment box, hey, please be careful not to be banned.

I just lost my blog today as well. I had a PR4 and over 300 posts. I made close to $500 every month from Clickbank and other affiliate programs. In the blink of an eye, Google delted it and said it was spam. That's total crap. I hate Google. Never again will I use a Blogger blog. from now on, it's a hosted Wordpress blog all the way.
I am afraid I might lost my http://liezl-read-write.blogspot.com/ forever. It was also branded as a spam with generic reasons. I tried to restore it and they say it is under review. I am holding my hopes up high.
It looks like blogger never restores those blogs, some one has to save us
Sorry to here that, and now i am planning to buy my own domain.
My 3 blogs were just deleted and I really don't know why. They were wholesome blogs about sewing, gardening and fishing and my family enjoyed checking them out to see what we were up to. I only had 7 followers and though I had adsense and amazon on them I never had enough hits to make any money with them and I never intended to. So how do you get them to review this decision? I put a lot of myself into these blogs with no intension of making any money from it...this is really upsetting.
Hello,
I just read whole the blog posts and comments and now i am really very afraid, because i have a blog with pr2 and i am just getting start the 600 to 1000 visitors daily and earning good money from adsens and other affiliates programs, is my blog will be deleted soon..? Or i can save it to do any changes..? if anyone have any good solution or suggestion please post here...
--thanks
I had the same problem 2 days ago and I am still highly upset because it happened to two of my biggest blogs. I wake up to check my blog and it's not found, Blogger should at least inform the person before they just delete. I am starting all over for the third time and honestly; I am scared
You can restore your blog or create a blog with the same name.
yes. i also faced this. i hate google for wasting our valuable time. thinking to work only with hubpages.
My great Blog was deleted 2 days ago by google!!! great ranking, great clean blog and they just killed it!! everyone here that uses Blogger , SAVE YOURSELVES!!!! get the hell out while you still can, I just migrated to paid Hosting on Wordpress !! to HELL with Google! can't touch me no more...
My blog was also suspended from word press. Actually one day I got 15 comments in spam, I don't know about it all so I have publish all comments and they had suspended my blog : http://worldsamazinginformation.wordpress.com/
All my seven blogs wiped out in one day, or rather one morning! Well, I agree that a couple of my blogs have go against the Blogger TOS. But definitely not all of them. There is one blog with only two posts. No link, no scrapped content, no thing, yet it was banished together with the rest!
Those who are serious about making money online, then get your own hosted site.Once your site starts to pick up, they will pick on you!
My major money making blog was taken out last week as "spam" after almost 4 years of running.
Funny how it suddenly became "spam" huh?
I think this is an important Hub that needs to be out there for the public to see.
Time to switch to wordpress, this video makes it look easy. I'm about to attempt this on all my blogger sites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lJHMt9roGE
I had the same problem too. My blog was deleted by Google without any warning. My blog was on the first page for a popular keyword here.
Although it wasn't making me much money, it had a sentimental value to me. I have been updating the blog for over 5 years.
I just want to remind all of you out there, don't bother with blogger. If you have one, please plan on moving your blog to another platform Wordpress is the best. Even the wordpress.com blog is better than blogspot.They don't delete your blog for no reason.
Better if you buy own domain and hosting.
Blogger deleted two of my BLOGS without notice. I imagine they feel that they can play GOD and delete one's BLOG on a whim!!
mines was deleted due to complaints from unknown party. Weird.
F**k Blogger & F**k Google! Google think they can do what they want, when they want to peoples blog pages that they earn a living from. When a company realizes that alot of people uses their services on a day to day basis, and they already collect billions of dollars in their bank accounts, they eventually think they can do whatever to clients/users. They dont care about users who love their blog whether its about fishing, making money, gardening for even learning how to swim! Google just dont give a flying F**k, therefore F them all. If the entire hacking community came together and decided to hack Google servers, they could really dish out back the same treatment they show us the users.
Same hapenned to me. i applied for adwords and the next morning,my blog is deleted. Except search engine all other services of google are just craps....... i tried google's chrome os too, wich is even worse than name google itself.
Hi there. My blog just got deleted due to spam thing. I don't know what I did. I was just editing one of my post and when I saved it, the blog got deleted.
For those who have encountered the same thing, how long did it take before they reopened your blog?
I hear you guys. My blogs on hub pages and Live journal were deleted too. I don't get it. I had only a few good posts and no spam comments or anything. any advise?
My Blog Deleted by blogger but from now on i would never use blogger i was not earning anything from blog but i had some good frndz and visitors but now there is nothing i cared too much to my blog it was really :(
My blog was "removed" and I went through the whole grueling process on Google forum where their shtick is to be somewhat elusive and bullying. When I was finally told that my blog was spam I explained that my blog doesn't make me money, I do it pro-bono, I'm a writer with a book on the subject (fatigue).
My blog is about how to recover from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, it was read worldwide and about 2 1/2 years old with hundreds of posts.
After being checked out again by one of the controlling bullies there I was told:
"You have (had) a large blog, containing many marginally related articles. Does CFS really involve all of those issues? The problem with large, marginally related issues is that its content can overshadow smaller, more focused, and original sources of content. A few of your articles, also, appear to contain material produced originally by other, more focused websites."
REALLY SERIOUSLY? are they medical professionals, do they understand the complexity of CFS? I'm an RN and of COURSE topics are written about hundreds if not thousands of times online.
I find this wild wild west, guilty until proven innocent but with no due process terribly scary. My feeling is that Google pulls blogs that aren't making them money but also using too much bandwidth. I had a lot of images that linked to sites, they weren't ads they were products that I recommend. And yes aside from a few personal posts all the posts were about how to recover from CFS, it was just about the only blog online that gives the kind of info I personally know, researched, and have published about.
I started a Facebook community page and I have almost my entire blog copied, because I plan to put it all into a book that's easier to read.... you know, all the content that is supposedly scraped from other sites, right!
Wordpress deleted my entire blog and Hubpages also did similar thing. The only safe thing is create thousands of very focused blogs and create links to them very sparingly, save all the content to publish at another platforms as soon they are deleted and absorb the loses better than the rest.
Thank you all for sharing your stories. I only just realized tonight that my two blogs were removed, and I am heart broken. I did not make money from them or write anything offensive- I wrote about my personal experiences dealing with loss of loved ones. I thought blogging would be a safe way to release my sadness and also remember the best moments with my family and friends. What a shame that I saved my memories to these blogs only to have them deleted by blogspot.
my blog was also deleted without a reason! was xxx but the same like other person which blogs still exist
DON:T TRUST GOOGLE
i lost year of work about promoting that adress
fucck google! my blog has just been deleted. i have a backup though with around 6 posts short. ima try to restore it then switch t wordpress asap.
FUCC YOU GOOGLE. FUCCC U
Can google delete a blog with custom domain but with Blogger hosting it?
My blog was deleted as well. I strongly believe that google is doing this as a way to control their victims...I mean customers. It's just another form of censorship and control. But what do you expect from a company that changed their privacy settings so that they will be able to save every single one of your emails? I think that by deleting blogs, google will get people to do only as they say. Remember SOPA and PIPA? Look up ACTA. It seems like google is taking tips from this treaty.
One more thing.
Google deleted my blog and kicked me out of my gmail account. I can't log in unless I give them my phone number. I will NEVER give anyone my number that I don't know, so why would I ever give it to google? They have officially reached creeper status. I'd rather let my gmail account go than to give them any more personal information. I encourage all of you to do the same. Don't give them your number. If you don't need your gmail account, don't give out your phone number!! They're trying to take all of the information from you that they can.
If you have a blog that makes money then you may want to host your own domain before you get deleted. Also, if you get your adsense account banned you can set yourself up with other ad networks that pay almost as much as adsense. You can also get set up as an LLC for a couple hundred dollars. Then you are not identified as the same entity. You can use what you know and set up a bluehost hosting account or something like that for $130 a year. Buy your domains through namecheap.com with a coupon with privacy enabled. That's about $12 per site per year or maybe up to $20 without coupons and privacy enabled.
If you do have an account with blogger currently, don't do linking directly to your blog. Set up a hubpages, squidoo, wordpress.org, weebly, tumblr, and all those types of sites with ONE link to your blog. Then send all massive backlinks to those sites. That way you will hopefully avoid getting your blog deleted whilst still increasing your PR and serps results. Plus you'll create new ways for people to find your blog.
my blog was deleted by google after i gave so much time to get high traffic!
f**k google blogger!

I'm not sure I understand. I don't use my blog at bloggerspot, so I hope I am safe. I love reading and commenting on HubPages, and hope that I'm not doing anything wrong. Sorry that happened to you.
