Google Robots bagged me...

Well I haven't posted for the better part of a week now. Google's SPAM robots tagged my site as a possible spam generator. Took 4 days to get it cleared.

Here's the message I got...

This blog is under review due to possible Blogger Terms of Service violations, and is currently unpublished. You can view your blog's posts here in Blogger, but not make any changes.

Back on track now... TGIF pic and review of Cryptonomicon coming up soon!!

    I got the following message on my blog
    "Blogger's spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. (What's a spam blog?) Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

    We received your unlock request on February 24, 2008. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.

    I have been sending unlock request now for the third time. My blog started getting blocked from mid jan. Any idea as to how to contact blogger support to unlock it. and also can anyone tell me why could my blog have possibly been identified as spam..

    My blog address is

  2. Hi Morgan:

    I'm not sure what algorithms they use that flags blogs as spammers. Obviously it still needs some work. I have read that an over abundance of ads and clickable money makers will trip the flag.

    Mine came back on line after about 2 weeks.

    Check back in Morgan and let us know how it works out for you.
