Today is the 5th October... exactly two months since I did the "back-up" of this blog... I checked the date, it was 5th August, 2011.
Ever since I lost my "Lets Wallop" food blog, I am quite worried about this Caring blog....
Some of you asked why and what happened to my food blog.... but I think many are not aware I have one actually....
Let me tell you what happen to my food blog and why it was penalized by Mr. G.....
My food blog was actually doing quite well too, it has a page ranking of 3/10, same like this blog. Since it was doing quite well, I received an offer from a certain website which offers me $3usd to post up their articles. It may not be a lot but I can post up to 10 articles for them per day... so $30usd per day is quite a lot... earning RM100 per day is not bad....
Then the capital G for Greedy caught up with me, I posted up so many articles for this website, oblivious about the word "Penalty" by Mr. G....
One day, I woke up to find that my Lets Wallop blog has "vanished" from my dashboard.... I wrote in to blogger/google FAQ... appealing and appealing but to no avail.
Mr. G replied that the blog has become "spammy"... and they don't like it cos it is still under blogspot...
So... speaking from experience, if you want to post up lots of advertisement, make sure the blog is under own Independant domain and not under blogger.....
I guess I am the only one whose blog has vanished "overnight." aikssss....
Ok, time for me to backup my blog before I forget... so... do you backup yours?

You're not the only one... neither were you the first one. My "Life without Italy" blog was terminated too, even much earlier than yours. The accusation was: Plagiarism!
ReplyDeleteGosh, do they really have the right to do so? Take away your blog? Eventhough it is using a free platform, you are the owner of the blog and you wrote all the posts. Can you ask them to give you back your old posts?
ReplyDeletenot only under own domain, but must host outside, instead of pointing the domain to blogger.com
ReplyDelete:)
Okay this is scary. I wasn't aware of that although I've heard if you're under free Blogger, you're under their jurisdiction. Thanks for the warning.
ReplyDeletepam: oh.. you too?? that is surprising! gosh.. it is quite worrying then..
ReplyDeletebarb: no..they wont give u back..
garfield: yes..and pay for it too..
kiddo: just do some backup now and then..
There are good and bad side of paid post. Good thing, you get paid for it...bad thing, with the growing negative effects paid posting causes on search engines, Google now looks for blogs with paid posts in them and reduces PR based on the depth of paid blogging on site. You could lose your page rank by 1, 2 or 3.
ReplyDeleteIt also has to do with the 'link' thing. Too many links on post, G will interpret it as a spam which lead to penalty/banned. G being too paranoid?? maybe...hahaha
Whatever...I still think it was unfair for bloggers.
I hope you can get your blog back...All the best :)
oh got such thing one ah?? i just experienced my adsense account being closed.. but i think my blog should be save lah, just peanut not a lot of visitor also lah.. :p
ReplyDeletesumandak: yes, while we make money with our blogs, we have to take precaution against being blocked, best thing is to own our domain and host outside.. :)
ReplyDeletesk: i lost adsense for a long time now.. :)
are you saying that google doesnt allow too may paid post in a blog? so hard for me to understand...
ReplyDeleteThat remind me, time for another backup....
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing your experience Claire, now that's a scary thought. Losing a blog overnight. And mine is still under blogger too! :(
ReplyDeleteHi Claire. Do you know if WordPress bans blogs, too? That's what I use, but I don't use paid advertisements on my blog, anyway. How do you go about backing up your blog?
ReplyDeleteHi Claire... can teach me more about this? Haha I would appreciate it if you can email me a few links to read on...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this one =)
Oops that is terrible. This is also the reason I am not accepting any money for advertisement on my blog. I would hate to lose it. I have probably already invested 1.000 hours of work (fun) in it.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Gosh, I don't backup my blog, only tings on my hard drive! You could start a new food blog, no spam. Have the new one for food, this one for other things!
ReplyDeleteAiyor...these money-spinning blogs are such a headache one kah? Hmmmmm....now I'm having second thoughts about starting one.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so annoying! You must have been so devastated especially after spending so much time on it. Well, Im sure this website has had better success than the last! :D
ReplyDeletei don't do backup..hopefully it stays forever.
ReplyDeletehmm.. how to actually back up posts on blogger? save the html?
ReplyDeleteClaire, if you have the budget, you may want to host outside next time.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how to back up my blog! @_@
ReplyDeletehow do you back-up?
ReplyDeleteBy publishing on another blogging platform?

I don't backup. If one day, I wake up and can't find Blog With Yan. I will cry, then I will forever stop blogging.
ReplyDeleteHaiya....like that lost forever! So heart breaking for your Let's wallop blog.
ReplyDeleteNo wor...i also did not do any backup coz don't know how.
I am like Yan,, but i will start afresh,,, how to back up our blogs by the way?
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly not alone dear. I too had a bad experience until i got so fed up, i started a new blog; losing some posts in the process. I found out later that the Canadians who did that purposedly create ruckus to increase their blog reads. My friend from Canada said it was normal there as many bloggers actually derive monthly living earnings via their blogs.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you have backup plans. Stress less ya! ;)

eugene: kathy taught me.. i will teach u one day.. hahaha..
ReplyDeletegratitude: yes.. money comes first.. blog can be started again.. haaha..
