Niver's ArtYes it is old school! I think the people that are using it are not educated to know that they are using this technique. Just something to help others be aware so they are not banned. Nov 4th 2010 09:10 |

 Investing One Gram at a TimeHow the foundation was started, from the beginning we always remind our self's of what we have forgotten and at times old tricks work very well.. Knowledge is power on the internet and at times we need to look back on what use to work and how to improve our system...so old tricks are at times priceless..... Nov 4th 2010 09:17 |

 Indiana Water FiltersGetting banned can come right out of left field. Google does not even give a specific reason! I have a couple team mates that have had their blogs shut down, no one knows why, and they don't really tell why. Knowing the wrong things to do is important, especially when training new people! Thanks for sharing your article, Lonnie! Nov 4th 2010 09:21 |

Niver's ArtWhile I was surfing the net I came a cross a term that we should all get familiarly with while we are using back links. The term is called linkspam and could have been used in my posting above. Linkspam is defined as links between pages that are present for reasons other than merit. Nov 4th 2010 09:37 |

 Viral, Local, Social & Mobile Marketing ExpertYes there is a test. Here is another term, Comment Spam. This is more for blogs, but now that more social network sites are allowing people to post comments on peoples profiles, it is applicable there to. Katrina, just kidding about the test. But speaking of Google, especially if you use Adsense they will ban you in a heart beat. One reason, and you are right they will not tell you why, but if people click on your ads to many times you could be banned from Adsense. It happened to me. I was going crazy trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. I finally read about it on the apsense blog. We have to take charge of the things we can control and not worry to much about the things we can not. Nov 4th 2010 10:12 |

Niver's ArtWow! I have yet to be kicked off Adsense. But Like everyone I tried a few things and was warned. The warning freaked me out because I didn't know what I was doing wrong. I was tweeting my posts that is when I received the warning. I think it was because I was getting too many people at one time looking at my post. The only place I have gotten kick off of is Wordpress. They are not very forgiving when it comes to spamming and that includes back links. Nov 4th 2010 10:25 |
