Blogger has blocked my blog :(
A friend informed me yesterday that my blog was under scrutiny.
I quickly racked my brain for possible reasons.
- Objectionable language - Not really.
I swear very little very rarely in real life and never when I write.
- Objectionable material - Hardly.
I have barely written around 5 posts, all mostly personal.
What could possibly incite Blogger's wrath? The liberal Blogger's wrath, that too.
Had the moral police descended on some piece I had written and had a incredibly heated debate broken over some of my post, when I was away for a few days?
Not a chance.
I have a loyal readership of 4 friends, all of whom I bully to read what I post and beg to comment! And none of the 4 is a self inducted member of the moral police.
What else could it be?
- IP rights violation?
But I have not embedded anything or quoted anyone and I would never do that without citing the source.
No.
I couldn't think of any more reasons.
Since I can't login to Blogger from office, I had to wait till I got home to find out.
And this was Blogger's official reason for blocking me:
"Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site".
So, either Google's fuzzy algorithms deemed my blog's content as spam and got it wrong or I actually write in an irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical way.
You tell me :(
PS: My blog is now un-blocked after a ‘human’ review by Blogger!
PPS: May be it’s the length of my posts. I shall try brevity sometime, maybe.
