I need some advice from my friends here at MMG. My blog was just suspended by wordpress because I violated their TOS. My blog was mainly about hyips and how to make money online. Has anyone had this same experience? With whom should I host my next blog with? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Greg

Hi Greg. I was really impressed today when i tried to acces your blog and i saw that is closed/suspended. You are in the same boat with me. The same was happened with my blog.
Suspended for violating TOS.
They don't accept blogs with moneymaking subject and affiliates link .

Open a new blog using blogspot.

Greg, sorry to hear about your problems. Have you considered paid hosting for the blog? Also as an alternative until you get things going you could guest-post on my blog. I've always enjoyed your insights.

Let me know.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am moving to blogspot and I will have my first post tonight. I will have to restrain myself from bashing wordpress too much.

Greg

Gonna be anti-wordpress soon. Oh, hopefully blogspot don't do the same.

At this point, i did read the TOS of wordpress and they do not allow blogs with affiliate links. I have read the TOS of blogspot and they do not exclude affiliate marketing. Blogspot's TOS is much broader than wordpress.

Greg

Hello, I have a question, does blogger allow advertisement links in your blog? You know like the backlink to your affiliate program? Because I'm not sure, I know that wordpress doesn't allow.

I recently read that Wordpress will delete your blog if you have advertisements on it, With blogger I believe if its google relate your fine, because google owns blogger. But if you want to use the wordpress backoffice and never be deleted again it is best to get a hosting account with bluehost or another provider, its really cheap to get an account, and since your on your own server, wordpress can control your blog. Also you get alot of plugins for free! Its awesome thats how my designer Kayacreativedesigns.com, did mine and I thank her for it. But alot of people don't know this.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the useful info.

Greg

i think it's better go to blogger.com and make there new blog than import info from the old blog if you have it. Regrets if your blog suspected.

That really stinks - what a big disappointment after all that effort you put in. I will take your lesson into my blog since I am in wordpress too. maybe I should look for a new home

I would go with self hosting so this can never happen to you again. If you backed up your WP posts you could import them into your self hosted WP blog.

I have used Hostgator for years and this allows multiple domains and subdomains so I host about 30 sites and blogs through the one subscription. Costs are very reasonable and self hosted blogs tend to get indexed better by the search engines.

One thing to look for in a host is whether they have automatic installation of Wordpress and other programs so that you do not need to worry about configuring them yourself. Look for a host that offers Fantastico to do this. Fantastico is built into the Hostgator control panel.

Ooops! I was wrong.

In fact from what I've seen so far, Google's been very lenient as to what type of Contents they allow.
