Google encourages splogs
 

You can build up a genuine and informative blog, with fresh and rare content and well written posts updated each day, and then suddenly you are gone from Google and your livlihood is down the drain.

I have a network of about 200 blogs in the same niche. Obviously, the vast majority are splogs. I have one site that I really take a lot of care over, and that is building up a number of repeat visitors. In fact, I'd say it is the best site for the niche in question by a country mile. Last month it briefly got on to the front page of Google for the niche leading keyword (highly competitive) and I was getting a stack of traffic. My webhosts (lunarpages) immediately suspended my account saying that I was draining resources on the server. Took me a couple of days to switch to a new host, by which time I'd disappeared completely from Google. I submitted a request for re-inclusion through Webmaster Tools but still no luck.

Fuck that. I'm just going to work on my splogs in future and if 50 get randomly thrown out by Google, I know that I can still make money from the other 150.

BTW, if you Google 'top adult webhosts', a name that often pops up is Lunarpages. Don't ever host with them. Their terms and conditions do not allow adult hosting on shared servers, although they will only kick you off without warning when you start to get a bit of traffic.

A lot of decent websites have droped on google and I have found that some of my blogs which i dont update on a regular basis and done very little seo or promotion does better than the ones I do. I always use my own text on them as well.

Shouldn't this topic be named "Google discourages splogs" or is my English really that bad? Your story seems pretty negative about Google and splogs.

Your English is bad, read his post again.

hit me up maybe I can help

actually he was right... google obviously discourages splogs which is why his orginial blog got so much traffic... its lunar pages that encourages splogs, not google :thumbsup

completely wrong thread title. Google didnt discredit your site because it wasnt a splog, it discredited it because your host is fucking worthless and fucked up.

:2 cents:

The OP is complaining because he was too cheap to host his most valuable site with a good webhost.

Cordoba unfortunately you've learnt the lesson the hard way bro

google is not perfect and sometimes can do mistake...

always read the tos when signing up with a web host

Get the site back up, keep working It and It will get back up top.

Google takes a few weeks to review your case - you might be surprised very soon that your ranking will return :)

Don't talk such shite you silly cunt.

Looks like it was kinda your fault

My English is perfect. But what do the words "your - bad - read - his - post - again" mean? Is this some strange local dialect? I've never seen or heard those words before.

why screw with that when you can score 9/10 on google by doing handwritten on the level blogs? true they take longer but the odds are far better.

So one splog briefly ranked well in Google. What about the other 199?

So you blame google because your sites where offline for a couple of days because your cheap ass hoster fucked up.

Seriously?
