Blogger: “Your blog is marked as spam”

Filed in: Google, Weblog — April 21st, 2009

Received an email from my beautiful accountant yelling for help. Her innocent personal blog has been marked as spam by blogger.com and asked her to request for a i-am-not-spam review.

Your blog is marked as spam

Her blog will be reviewed, and, and if everything is ok, will be unlocked in 2 working days. Otherwise, Blogger.com will remove her blog within weeks. She is not alone.

Those are probably false positives of the Blogger’s spam-prevention robots.

Solution? Submit the form and pray. Chances are your blog will be removed from the spam blog list.

My two cents

Although Blogger.com is my choice of Free blog hosting, this is another reason why you need a self-hosted blog over a free one.

    I did face the same problem 3 years back. It was during the Chinese New Year. I couldn’t even log in to my blogger account. No form for me to fill up at that time, what I did was write to the technical support and after a few rounds of email correspondence, blogger.com put me to the white list and restore all my 3 blogs.

    I believe it is due to one of my blog as below:
    http://selfhelp4u.blogspot.com

    Why do I say so? It is because technorati also marked it as SPAM blog, which found out by me last 2 days.

    Can any pro-blogger visit the above site and give some comment? Thanks alot!

    I offer you this quote from the BidVertiser Review
    “All of the advertisers pay considerably less or give lower paying ads to free blogs and other free hosted sites.If your page is unable to obtain page rank,such as Blogspot,or Freeweb (or any other such place) then you are always going to earn less.”

    I hope your readers find that helpful

    Hello everyone,

    My blog was created nearly 2yrs ago Its main purpose is to help investors regarding indian stock market stuffs..Now hers the problem

    On 6th May, a message appeard stating that my blog was marked as spam. The message was so friendly, they asked me to request a review, and promised me to have a look at the blog within 4 days. I waited day after day and nothing happens, also no response or feedback wwas given, whether positive or negative. Day after day, I was trying to request unlock review, but they always say that they have received the request, asking me to be patient while they review it. Today,13th may the option to request a review became available. So, I requested a new unlock review. Day after day, I’m waiting to see any response, and nothing new is happening. Today is 13th may and they may delete my blog on 26th may, as they have said it will be deleted within 20 days. I don’t know what to do. I won’t talk about the bad feeling about this situation, and I concentrate now on action that should be taken to solve this problem.

    I’m waiting for your help and suggestions.
