I've been an adsense user for 10+ years. I also have an adwords account, and have been blogging with blogspot services for over 15 years. So Yes, I'm a member of adsense, and in good standing, it helps.
Yeah great. now i'm trying to become a member of adsense but i need a website to be approved. All my sites are affiliate sites so i'm not sure i can get it.
I never really tried blogspot or these other blogger type sites. I always went the route of having my own domain review sites using Wordpress or an Amazon Affiliate Store script with unqie content. These 2 have worked very well for me in the past. I see the desire to use the blogger sites since they come with traffic but I also think there is a lot of competition and hard to compete wit the top writers who get the better search engine positions.
I agree. I always prefer full version of wordpress blog on my own domain compared to having a sub-domain account with them and at any time they can shut you down. I just also saw this great YouTube video of a new Wordpress Plugin that will help so many users who run a wordpress blog and want to easly create bundle packages for amazon products.

I've had a great success with blogspot (as I did with any other sites) in terms of SEO. I'm into affiliate marketing for digital products and I get affiliates through launch jacking. What I do tho is a bit different, but it's nothing new. Ppl are not just keen to talk about it. I go to Muncheye and find a product which will be lauched in at least 2 months. I'll Google the product name and when I see that it's got no review sites, affiliates, whatsoever, I choose that product for promotion. I then create a blogspot blog with the full product name as URL. example: productname.blogspot.com Sometimes it's taken (as other affiliates are already starting to take advantage of the opportunity before me) so what I do is to add "review" or "reviews" as either suffix or prefix (ie, productnamereview.blogspot.com). In the next 2-3 days I will write around 10 articles for that blog. I make sure that the articles are properly SEO-ed and they're all valuable content. I want my blog to be the last review the buyer clicks before they decide to buy. Value is always better than SEO. Then, I will start building social signals through different reciprocal social share sites. After around 5 days of making it look "viral", that's when I start building backlinks. Since blogspot is free, I don't mind spending $5 on Fiverr for good guest post links (by the way, I write my own articles for this, they can be spun but highly unique and readable). Don't buy crap backlinks with 1000+ links whatsoever. All links will be drip-fed for 30 days. If you know someone who's got a private network to build you links, better. I got use success on that (I'm ranking #1 for a highly competitive term promoting an I.M. product, but I can't disclose it here for some reason. However, you can always PM me if you ask )
Who deleted your blog post? Blogger? Have you read their terms and condition? I hardly heard anyone had their blog post deleted.
I started a blog on Asia Pacific around four years ago and tried using different revenue models but only adsense worked for me. I am disappointed with Amazon.
Blogspot has been good for the time being, but I hope to find more success in the future. If I can get my content to pay for itself, I might move on to getting my own URL and WordPress.
