Why Google+ filter out postings containing certain domain URLs?

Why Google+ filter out postings containing certain domain URLs?

How to ask Google+ to whitelist those domains?

 

Can you be more specific? I've posted a couple dozens of URLs on G+ and never had an issue with any of them. Actually this is the first time I've heard anyone mentioning this. I will not be surprised if they filter p o r n or phishing sites. But I will be surprised if the filter legit ones.

 

When you post the message, it will go through.
But if you reload the page after a second or two, the newly posted message is gone.

This is the way i find out they filter some domains.

 

Because they hate spammers. G+ does not want to be a spamfest like Twitter and FB, so it filters out certain URL's. PLUS, people will flag spam in a heartbeat, so if you persist, they will just ban you, which is fine with us non-spammers who are there to actually SOCIALIZE. . I really appreciate that about the site.

 

Of course i understand this can be a good reason for what happened.
But Google system always trouble the good guys as well.
Like spraying pesticides and kill both good and bad organisms.

Competitors can easily harm a domain by having the domain included in their postings/status updates or reporting messages as spam but in fact it is not.

 

You can't put a link to your site in every post you make in G+. I've seen a lot of affiliate marketers banned for that. Their algorithms consider that spam. I've turned down about 100 spammers for membership in my communities, because when I checked their profiles, they had joined dozens of groups and only made one post with a link to their site. G+ is not a promotional network. It's a social network. If you can't be social and be part of the community, they will ghost you. That's just the way it is.

 

>> they had joined dozens of groups and only made one post with a link to their site

no, i never post to other groups. i only share from my own profile or my own Google+ Page.

 

Are you using link shortening services? I know that if every link you have is disguised, that sends up a flag, because people use those to hide that they are posting affiliate sites. You haven't said if you are posting affiliate links and nothing else. Not participating in conversations, not having any followers, but posting a bunch of links can get you ghosted. Like I said, it's a social site. You have to be social.

 

No, short url re-direct is not related to this case.

If this is the case, Google+ will ban just the profile,
or deactivate the Google+ Page. Why blacklist the domain ?

Once blacklist domain, all other Google+ users cannot share your domain in post as well.

 

Try this. Create your own community page and list your domain in "about this community". Your community page can be associated either with your G+ profile or your G+ business profile. I'd create it under your actual G+ profile. That way when you post stuff about your website or services they will also be part of your G+ stream. Invite people to join your community. I am positive that way your domain name or any extension associated with it will not be blacklisted and will appear in the stream.

 

>> and list your domain in "about this community".

you mean follow your method can "whitelist" the domain automatically ?

>> Create your own community page

means the same thing as creating a Google+ Page ?

 

Not quite. Log into your G+ page. Hover over the Home link. Select Communities. Once in Communities, create your own community (the blue button). Your community has to be public.

As far as white-listing a domain, that's what happened to a lot of people who created their own communities. Somehow their sites were back to being in the stream. You see, it's your community, you're the "boss" there so to say.

I think the sites get blacklisted or blocked or worse the accounts get suspended when you leave a link to your site in the comments, or when you post it on other people's profiles. The communities function under a different presumption. But the most important thing is whatever you post in your own community will be posted in the main stream (which includes your circles) as well.

PS Let me know if it worked for you.

 

Thanks a lot about your tip.
