hi all, like a lot of ''make extra money'' mylot members, I also have a list of favorite PTC sites which I use to earn some extra money, so I created a blog using Google's Blogger, because it is free and a good way to refer people, at least that is what I thought... When I was almost finished with editing blog in html, I tried myself to click on some banners to see if they correctly redirects to some ptc sites, after some time, the message appeared in Blogger's Dashboard: ''Your blog has been identified as a potential spam blog. Your readers will see a warning page... This blog will be deleted within 20 days...'' I didn't try to monetize my blog with Google's AdSense, because I know it is not allowed, but I didn't know that it is also not allowed to post referral links and banners in blog... Did You have similar problems??? Is there any kind of solution to this problem, or it is simply not allowed to use Google's blog this way??? If it is not allowed, please, suggest me some blogs where this is allowed, or some free websites... need Your help, thanks in advance :)

If you simply use Blogger as a page of adverts, it is very likely that your page will be removed. A blog is intended to contain useful (and hopefully interesting) content. If you want to use it to promote things, you must, at least, write something about each program (and make sure that it's original and about your OWN experience). Of course, you can put a banner for the program in the article but the main purpose must be to INFORM, not to 'spam'. Most free blogging platforms would also object (ALWAYS read Terms of Service carefully BEFORE you start using a site). If you want to just post a page of banners, you will need to pay for hosting.

It is certainly worth your while mailing them to ask for a 'human' assessment. Their "automated classifier" tends to 'err on the side of caution'. Just the fact that they gave you 20 days grace (rather than deleting it immediately) suggests that they use the system as a warning (and as a notifier to the human team of assessors). I can't see your blog (of course) but perhaps the warning happened because of too many banners in one article. If you are writing about different sites, make each article about ONE site and put just one banner per article (you can also use text links, of course).

No actually I have a few refferal links in my blogger to but I have not put any banners I have written a few articles about the sites that I want my potential refferals to visit but I have seen a lot of banners in most of the bloggers that I have visited just ask a question to their support team .

Well as far as i know, if you provide hypertext links of the site to refer people, they wont allow you to do so. Infact your link will only not appear when you view your blog. But if you redirect your blogger viewiers using the banners of the site, it works fine. I have a blog with banners of onbux and neobux. Check this out. http://mylotmoneymakers.blogspot.com/
