What to Do When Your Blogger Blog Gets Deleted By Blogger

I have not blog for a quite a while because of my busy life. I have an offline business at the moment and I've kind of focused more on it at this time. It shocked me to find out that my blog http://pinoydollarquest.blogspot.com - this very blog was deleted by Blogger after it was caught by their system as a "SPAM BLOG". But thank God it's now reinstated by Blogger. So what did I do to get my blog back. Just do exactly what I did.

So, What to do when your blogger blog gets deleted?

1. First, log in to your blogger account.
2. Find the blog that's been deleted.
3. Then follow the link to appeal for the reinstatement of you blog.
4. Wait for at least 2 days for the Blogger team to check on your blog.
5. If your blog is not a Spam blog, you will then receive an email from blogger similar to what I received below.

"Hello, We have received your appeal regarding your blog http://pinoydollarquest.blogspot.com/. Upon further review we have determined that your blog was mistakenly marked as a TOS violator by our automated system and, as such, we have reinstated your blog. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused in the meantime and thank you for your patience as we completed our review process. Thank you for for understanding.

Sincerely, The Blogger Team"


That's it! Problem solved!

Thanks Blogger Team and Merry Christmas!

Blog not Found: Blogspot Blog Removed

Did you also panic when you saw your blog/s being removed in blogger? I did a few moments ago. I tried visiting my blogs and to my horror, I got this message "Blog not found" or "this xxx has been removed. My blogs have been existing for years and I put a lot efforts making my blogs to where they are now.

Anyway, knowing I did not violate Blogger policies and terms of condition, I consoled myself. I logged to my email account at gmail and I saw the notice about verification. It turned out gmail needed to verify my account by sending me a text message. I just filled the required mobile number and in minutes I got my verification code. I used it to verify my gmail account and my blogs are back again.

If you are having the same issue with blogs not found. Log in to your gmail account first and see if you need to do the same things as I did.

Google's Major SERP Changes!

Did you notice any changes in the Search Engine Ranking Positions lately? Because I did notice major changes. Following the Page Rank update, which by the way, I did not benefit, major changes in SERP occured and is still taking place. Google is repositioning many websites and blogs. The rankings are still not stable. Hence, I don't think it's a good time to actively promote your websites. I think it is best if bloggers/webmasters stay put for the time being pending the closing of this major SERP update. Anyway, did you notice any changes for your keywords?

How To Wrap Adsense or Chitika Around Post

I know many of you do not know how to place your google ads or chitika ads around your post. The click through rate is really high if you place the ads inside your posts. Why? It's because that's where people's eyes are at most of the time as they read your articles.

So here is the code for placing adsense or chitika or any product around your post:

<div style=”display:block;float:right;margin: 5px 5px 5px 5px;”>

all the google adsense code (or chitika)

</div>

Replace the phrase in red font with your code.

Also if you get the message that it cannot be parsed, just use html parser. You can use one for free at blogcrowds dot com. Just copy the whole code and paste it in the html parser. Then copy the parsed code in your blog's template.

Free Blogger Templates

It's a must that every blog must have a good template. Your blog's template must cater to both your users and the search engines. It means you must have a good looking blog that is user friendly, easy to navigate and at the same time is search engine friendly. It's easy to find out if a blogger template is user friendly or not. You'll find that in the colors, in the navigation buttons and in the overall layout of the blog. But when it comes to how search engine friendly the template is, well, that's a hard one. But nonetheless a template that's user friendly is likely to be search engine friendly as well. To be safe read carefully the description of the template and test it first. This is where a trial blog comes into play. You test the template first before you decide to officially use it in your blog. You woundn't want to have a totally messed up blog at the end, only because you failed to notice how ugly the template is when all the posts and the sidebar items are added.


The templates provided by Blogger to be honest is really not that good looking. I say they are boring and perhaps a lot of you would agree with me. Thanks to a lot of innovative and skillful individuals who have made elegant, professional and personalized blogger templates available for free to anyone. Getting a very beautiful template doesn't have to cost a penny.

Another Page Rank Update: So???

With the recent PR update, google generously gave this Pinoy Dollar Quest blog a Page Rank of 2. Not hight but a lot better than seeing the PR-0. I was expecting a page rank of 4 as that was the prediction. But nonetheless I am more than happy.

I know the google page rank algorithm is as complicated as it could be. I don't understand it. Yes cause when I thought I already know how it works I get confused later on..lol.. Like how come a blog with no backlinks get a Page Rank while others with plenty of backlinks get no PR. Confusing isn't it! I've been presented with a lot of theories on how page rank is calculated and should i believe one than the other, when there seems to be no consistency with the algorithm as I see it. Some say the Page Rank algorithm was changed, then changed again, then here goes another change. In the end, bloggers get confused with Page Rank. Some get really lucky to have a Page Rank. But when you asked them how did they get their PR they'd more likely than not give you the same theoretical explanation: "I submit to different directories, exchange links with other bloggers and webmasters, made a sitemap, and this and that". And when you ask the blogger with a PR-0, he'll tell you exactly the same thing. And why the difference? Ask it to Google!

Page Rank is a measuring criterion of how important a website is?! Does this even hold true now? I doubt it for apparent reasons. Search online and you will find plenty of websites without backlinks and without any updates for months or years yet having very high page ranks. Look online and you'll find a number of filthy, pornographic websites where there is really is nothing but naked ladies or naked men, and plenty of pornographic videos, yet they have high page ranks. So where is the importance? The fact that they cater to many or perhaps few individuals who want to feed their hunger for lust? So you check on their backlinks, and yes some have plenty of backlinks again from pornographic sites.

But then again, even if we refuse to believe in its credibility, we are just mere bloggers and we revolve around this magnificent "Page Rank" thing to make it in the blogosphere both for fame, money and fun! So whether you believe in it or not is not an issue. You need a Page Rank or at least you want one than a big fat zero. (So while I don't have full trust with Page Rank I don't want to lose this blog's current page rank. )
