And here are some examples of blogs/websites that are banned from our servers (all of these fall under the general heading of “spam blogs”, or splogs, and will be deleted as soon as we find them or they get reported):
- Scraper blogs/websites: Blogs/websites that take content from other blogs/websites and re-publish it without permission (this is sometimes called scraping). If a blog/website contains all or mostly stolen and unoriginal content, it’s gone!
- Affiliate marketing blogs/websites: Blogs/websites with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs and get-rich-quick schemes (”Make six figures from home!!”, “20 easy steps to top profits!!”, etc). This includes multi-level marketing (MLM) blogs/websites and pyramid schemes. To be clear, people writing their own original book, movie or game reviews and linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on Etsy do NOT fall into this category.
- Warez blogs/websites: Blogs/websites that promote pirated copies of ebooks, software packages, music, movies, games, etc.
- Automated blogs/websites: Blogs/websites that are generated by computers, including randomly generated blogs/websites, blogs/websites that re-publish press releases, marketing material, search engine results, link dumps or any other mass-produced content.
