Prevent Google From Marking Your Blog As Spam

Recently I noticed a number of blogger blogs being marked as spam blogs and subsequently locked out by Google bots. As i stated in some of my recent posts, it happened to this blog and as a result I learned a thing or two. This blog was locked out for nearly a month before it was restored, while it was down I did a good bit of researching for ways i can restructure my blog to be more "Google spam bot friendly" if you will.

Before I get to the steps you can to take to make your blog more Google spam bot friendly and at the same time improve your blogs SEO allow me to give a few solid bits of advice. First and foremost, if your blogger blog is linked to a bunch of PTC sites you might as well start backing up your posts and preparing for an inevitable lock out. Most of these sites are scams, most of the blogs that content deal primarily with these sites are link farms riddled with duplicate content, Google knows this, Google’s bots know this. Basically Google bots judge your blog by what your linked to.Secondly, if your blog is in the money making niche its probably best to have your own domain .This is a very spam my niche you can take all the precautions in the world and still be locked out. You can easily make enough money with your blog for it to pay for itself within the first month or two.

Eventually I will move this blog over to my own domain, I already started two blogs that have their own domains but for the time being I am going to keep it as is for a while (with all my posts backed up on my hard drive of course!) because I will lose my page rank in the process.
