    Okay, this is the second google deleted my blogger blogs!!! more than 10 blogs and 4 of them PR3 and PR4 blogs!!!

    Does anyone knows WHY they do this? I mean I tried to maintain and make a post regulerly, what's wrong?

    I tried to contact them, but all I got is a pre-written emails :mad:

    Can you show us the cache of any of these?

    Was the content a bit spammy or were they personal blogs?

    It can't be about post frequency since the blog that I had there didn't get any new posts since January 2005 and it's still there.

    If it's spam, porn, gambling, or anything like that, Google may delete them. Icheb is right ... frequency has almost nothing to do with it (I just found a blog that I setup years ago, didn't even know it still existed).

    I'm sorry I can't access this forum and the internet yesterday, as some of you might already know about earthquake in Taiwan damages undersea cables.

    So, anyways, it's not a porn, gambling nor spam blogs. Two of them accepted on reviewme.com and I already made 3 reviews posts so far. At least the advertiser s think ppl DO read my blogs.

    So I went googling about "why google deleted my blogspot" and I got this page : http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/060328-011003

    Even Official Google Blog got deleted twice! In March and Oct.... So maybe it's not because I got a spammy blog....

    Man I would have put AdSense all over the place had I been able to register that official Google blog subdomain. :D

    You know what? spend 9 buck for a domain and 9 more a month for hosting and your blog will be there forever..

    and they are proving your free service..i don't see any ground for you to complain

    That doesn't make any sense. It does mean you have no legal feet to stand on, But it doesn't justify them doing it (if they are).

    I have a few sites actually. I usually use blogspot to see first if I could get some traffic for my targeted niche, if it is then I bought a domain and build my own site.

    I can't say I'm agree with you that I cannot complain just because it's a free service. PHPLD is free, wordpress is free, myspace is free, and so much more free service here on the internet. But that doesn't mean they could just delete some accounts without any good reason!

    Not to mention that they also had lost their own sub domain, twice. All I'm saying, google still needs to improve their (free) service.... if they still want people to use their service.

    no one forced you to use their service. And what's the reason you still use blogspot for second time? because it is free?

    how about the quality of your blog? What's the topic? Anything against the TOS?

    Could be that you you loads of links on the sidebar. Seems blogger does not like that!
