Blog deactivated because of my links ??

  • Unknown's avatar

    Yesterday, my blog “La boite malices” aka http://laboiteamalices.wordpress.com/ has been deactivated because it has been detected as a “commercial blog”.
    My blog is not a commercial blog, it’s a personal blog.
    I immediately contact the support and my blog has been reactivated.. but I try to republish my last article and my blog has been – again – deactivated.
    I contact again the support.
    I think i’ve been suspended because of my last article which contains too many links ??

    May I have an explanation please ??

    NB : I’m french, so I’m sorry if I don’t speak english well.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    There is no limit on the number of links a post can have. It is not allowed to have affiliate links, though; it can only have regular links, not links where you get paid if people click.

    I haven’t got affialiate links. People can click on my links if they want but I don’t get paid.

    Also: in general you should not link to places that are selling things.

    But a number of exceptions exists. Bloggers are in some cases allowed to link to stuff such as PC hardware, software, books and the likes if it’s relevant to the blogs focus area. Such sites often sell the product that have the description but they are also the source of origin. So that’s when it’s alright to link.

    All in all the question is a bit tricky because the rulezzz are blurry…

    Fixed and nothing to worry about – sorry.

    And they are and always will be a little blurry simply because people will use those words and twist them back at us. But blurry also means flexible so a good blog gets more leeway than a bad one for instance.

    @ Mark: I know. The rules are in general quite fair. :-)
