My Blogger blog removed because it's a suspected spam blog!

[Chellebelle7377]

I am soooo beyond mad. Blogger removed/disabled my blog blog until further notice. I have had it for only 3 months and posted everyday very useful content on being frugal, green, and a mom. I have done everything I can. I asked for a new review. I appealed so real people (not Google bots that scour the internet for blogs that appear to be spam) can review it. The only reason that I can think that they thought my blog was spam is it contains a lot of links (to coupons/good deals/etc.). It's been over a week and I could only email contacts that I had in my email contact list. To let them know I'm still here. Has this happened to anyone? I am so frustrated. I can only view my dashboard and that's it. Ahhhhh!! :sad:

Thats weird. I never heard of that happening before! You should try a self hosted blog so that YOU control the site.

How ironic is it that soon after posting this I get my blog back?! Yay!!! I should look into better hosting, though. Well thanks for letting me vent.

I've actually known more than one person that this has happened to using Blogger. It happened to Collin from H2S too.

do you know of any sites to recomend ? I have no clue when it comes to them, lol.

I have heard of this happening to people that write on politics or very controversial topics. I assumed it was because someone disagreed with them and reported the blog as spam to shut it down. Maybe your deals are so good someone thought they were scams and reported the blog? :shrug7:
Someone I know that had this happen switched to a wordpress blog instead and hasn't had that problem.

Any self hosting company. I know of a few (that i've used in the past)
It's not expensive either, i think i paid like $5 a month or something like that...

For a smallish blog...register your own domain name...use a site like godaddy.com or something. then get yourself some hosting (godaddy has reasonable plans) and then pick a software. I personally like wordpress over blogger because I think it is more flexible. But that is a personal decision...
