WordPress.com Blogs

I Just Joined The Wordpress Graveyard

Well it looks like wordpress is trying to make a statement and boy
have they ever screwed up by deactivating blogs that were being used
to bring the latest information about products and services to the
Internet world.

My blog is now 6 feet under.

See the message I received from wordpress below. Make sure you take
note of the types of blogs that are acceptable. ( How-to, tips and
reviews: There are lots of blogs that share tips and reviews about
cooking, products, games, music, books, movies, and so on. )

The information I was writing about were tips about products, how-to
information and so on.

Types of Blogs

There are many different types of blogs on WordPress.com, and they
span dozens of different languages. You can browse our tags to get a
sense of the topics covered by WordPress.com bloggers, or take a look
at these examples of popular blog categories:

Personal: This is the broadest category and includes not just blogs
about personal topics, but blogs written from the point of view of an
individual. Popular topics include politics, music, family, parenting,
travel, health, holidays, religion, books, photography, you name it!

Business: Professionals ranging from realtors to lawyers and stock
brokers are using WordPress.com blogs to share their expertise. And
companies are discovering the power of blogs to communicate with their
customers via company news and announcements, product reviews, user
stories, testimonials, etc.

Schools: WordPress.com is a great way for teachers and students to
write about their schools, classrooms, and school projects.
Non-profits: Foundations, charities, and human rights groups are
finding our blogs to be great tools to raise awareness and money for
their causes.

Politics: We've got members of parliament, political parties,
government agencies, various political groups and activists using our
blogs to connect with their various constituencies.

Military: Members of the military blog to report what they see
happening in various parts of the world to stay in touch with their
families, and some of those families are in turn using blogs to
support each other.
Private: Some people make their blogs private to use for sharing of
photos and information within families, companies, or schools.
Sports: We've got teams, athletes, and fans using blogs to express and
share their passion for various sports.

How-to, tips and reviews: There are lots of blogs that share tips and
reviews about cooking, products, games, music, books, movies, and so
on. And here are some examples of blogs that are banned from
WordPress.com (all of these fall under the general heading of "spam
blogs", or splogs, and we will be deleted as soon as we find them or
they get reported):

Scraper blogs: Blogs that take content from other blogs and re-publish
it without permission (this is sometimes called scraping). If a blog
contains all or mostly stolen and unoriginal content, it's gone!
SEO blogs: Blogs that are written for search engines instead of
humans. These blogs are dedicated to trying to fool Google and other
search engines into ranking them highly. WordPress.com is not meant
for this type of activity.

Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs 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). To be
clear, examples like people writing original book or movie reviews and
linking them to Amazon, or people linking to their own products on
Etsy do NOT fall into this category.

Warez blogs: Blogs that promote pirated copies of ebooks, software
packages, music, movies, games, etc.
Automated blogs: Blogs that are generated by computers, including
randomly generated blogs, blogs that re-publish press releases,
marketing material, search engine results, link dumps or any other
mass-produced content.
