You Guys Broke Blogger... Again!

Google might be the "be all" and "end all" when it comes to the Internet but it's little sister - Blogger.com - is having a hard time keeping up with all of my readers comments. The last post once again pushed past the 200 comment barrier and Blogger started acting a bit strange on my end again. Several comments are still in my queue but I can't seem to get Blogger to post them and after trying to answer several that did get posted - to no avail - I have given up. If any of you are still awaiting a response from me then please post your query on these comments and I will catch up with this post.

I'm beginning to think Blogger doesn't have too many blogs that get a lot of comments!

I have removed the Captcha to see if things improve while commenting and as long as the spammers don't get to ambitious I'll leave it turned off. I am going to turn off the approval function as well so that you can banter amongst yourselves faster than waiting for me to approve the comments. Again I hope the spammers don't ruin this.

I have talked with Terry from The Honest Way about using his forum in regards to issues of um.... a sensitive nature like Backlink Solutions and Linkvana and a few other things that I don't want to post about on this site. I am waiting for him to set things up in a secure manner so that we won't have prying eyes and so that we all can remain anonymous if possible.

Several of you have sent me emails expressing interest in joining in on these discussions and I haven't replied directly but I have a list compiled and will contact you when Terry is ready. If any one else is interested then please send me an email with "BS and LV" in the subject line and I will add you to the list.

For all of you who are busy trying to outrank my Asia'h blog and want to take home the $500 I suggest you join in on the forum discussion as that is where I will explain what I have done and how you can do it too once you have all given up and proclaimed me the SEO master. Hehe. See... Internet Marketing for details.

I am also working on a new affiliate sales post and example blog that I think will be best unveiled on the forum as I don't want anymore people flagging the sites I show you - this has happened a few too many times on here and kinda makes a guy wonder why he bothers. I know 99% of my readers are decent folk but I'd like to ring the neck of that other 1%!

Lastly, A lot of you are busy creating Blogger blogs in order to try out my methods and have been sending me a number of emails asking how to do certain things with Blogger. I have just created a post on how to modify the width - the most asked question so far - and posted it on my Blogger Basics for Beginners blog. I will add more modifications as the need arises and if you want to know how to change or do anything with Blogger just let me know in the comments on that blog. The posts will all be step by step tutorials using screenshots so all of you should be able to follow along without a degree in Computer programming - I'm about as ignorant as anyone when it comes to coding so if I can do it - so can you. I'm sure if I make any mistakes my alert readers who do know what they are doing will jump all over me for it... lol.

Ok, that's it for my little update - I'll let you all know when the forum is ready for us.

Cheers,

Griz

Griz,

Did you get my email? If you didn't, let me know and I can send another one...I don't remember what the title was....

Also, can't wait to join the forum as that was one of the issues with the email I sent you.

Let me know, or contact me through one of my sites...

Hey Elliot,

I've searched and nada - please send it again and I will keep an eye out for it.

Mike Pedersen Golf said...

Hey...I just saw you had a new post and I wanted to feel special by being one of the first commentators...LOL.

DennisJr said...

Grizz,

I just sent you an email. I am having problems with adsense ads.

email Subj: "DennisJr blog adsense"

I removed adsense from my other sites and I am still getting crappy ads.

My numbers just spiked last week and I am starting to get a couple hundred visits a day for my one post.

Some of my other posts for the same blog are getting the appropriate ads. I am stumped and I don't want to change the article since I am starting to get visitors. Please let me know what you think.

Hi,
I left a message about this on the last post too. Any thoughts why I may be having problems getting my new Blogger blogs indexed. I have 5 or six that are over a month old and have about 200 links to them and still no indexing from Google. Anyone else having the same type of problem?

Grizzly Brears said...

Mike,

Congrats... so how does it feel being special? lol.

This is the fastest I've ever got back to you! The early bird...

Grizzly Brears said...

Dennis,

I got the email and sent a reply - try my suggestions and let me know what happens.

Good luck.

Grizzly Brears said...

Stan,

Sorry I missed you earlier. Can you email me the URL's so I can take a look and see what might be the problem?

My email is at the bottom of the blog under "Need Help?" Click the Grizzly Link.

Coaster said...

Sent you an email marked BS and LV , commented here in case you still have email problems.

aravind said...

Hi Griz,
i sent u a mail regarding the Lv and Bs, please join me in ur scheme.
About my Indian Premier League blog it is too slow. it is still in the back pages for the main keyword. traffic is too low.

Grizzly Brears said...

Note: I have sent everyone a quick note just to let you know I got your BS and LV emails. If you haven't got a thank you from me then try again as I haven't received your email.

Grizzly Brears said...

Goldcoast,

I don't have your email. Try again.

Grizzly Brears said...

Aravind,

I just sent you an email about your blog.

Pierce said...

I like the new header you have at the top. It's legit.

Terry said...

...and Kenneth Williams, playing the part of Julius Caesar shouts "Infamy, infamy... they've all got it in fer me!" LMAO!!

Thanks for the mention Griz, the forum is ready to go, but I'll let you contact those interested by email with details.

For everyone's info:

The forum has been closed to new signups for a month now as I was getting inundated with spammers signing up to it.

I'll be re-opening the doors once I get email confirmation from Griz that everyone has been emailed with the necessary details so we can get this show on the road.

See you all on the inside very soon...

Terry

Dinheiro said...

grizzly, send you the "BS and LV" email. thanks.

John Tighe said...

Hi Grizz,

I will try to keep the arse kissing to a minimum (just a little peck here and there).

I have done everything you have said to do, and the results are everything you said they would be.

I am on page 1 of Yahoo for my three main keywords(pick myself off the floor). So Thank you.

Even better I was on page 2 of google, but I seem to keep disappearing than re-appearing.

I have not put adsense on my site yet as you said to give it time.

The only problem is this (limited) success is raising so many questions. I am going around and around your site (and Vics)looking for the answers.

Your 'Make Money Using Blogs' series got me to where I am, any chance of creating a series that takes you to the next level?

One qustion you could help me with now, if possible, is where can I find article directories that accept anchored text?

The list that you gave in a old post, most of the directories don't seem to allow it now.

Pull your pants up and i'll put my lips away. LOL

Seriously, Thank you for everything.
all the best John

Grizzly Brears said...

Pierce,

Thanks Pierce, as you can see I spared no expense creating it...

Grizzly Brears said...

Terry,

Thanks for the help. I'll get the ball rolling later today.

Grizzly Brears said...

John,

I may be mistaken but I think Vic has made a few vlogs about updated article directories - not sure if he has mentioned a list though. Anyone?

I must admit that I haven't kept up to date as I haven't needed to use articles like I used to. I will do some checking and post my findings. If anyone has a list please let us know.

DennisJr said...

Grizz,
I got your emails. I also made the changes you suggested. Thanks

John T,

below are two article sites that allow you to anchor your keyword. I can always seem to find my articles online with these sites. I don't know if Grizz wants a bunch of links so I'll type it out.
FYI: Normally they only allow two or three anchored links.

amazines dot com
Goararticles dot com

Additionally, I use the free version "Article submitter" by bryxen software to upload my articles to about 85 different sites. Some of these allow you optimize your keywords some don't. Hope this helps.

Terry,

Thanks for creating the forum. It's appreciated.

JohnT said...

Thanks Grizz and also Dennisjr,

Grizz I will check out Vic vlogs.

dennisjr Thanks for putting yourself out to answer the question. Much appreciated mate.

All the best - John

Dinheiro said...

I just found this post today, it's old, but the author point to him again and again. It goes almost against grizzly teach. I'll leave it just for fun, if we were doing that we wouldn't pass from site 1!!
seo-theory.com/wordpress/2007/10/16/20-hard-core-seo-tips

Grizzly, for seo elite, when you use it, do you use the "link directory" link type? should we use that?

Dinheiro said...

hummm the link is broken, here it is again:

seo-theory.com/wordpress/2007/ 10/16/20-hard-core-seo-tips/

(just join the two parts please, i do not want to link directly)

Frank C said...

Just a reminder - it's the first of the month and this is the day that WordPress blogs that have the Top Commentators plugin installed usually are set to restart and these links are usually followed. Go get yourself some followed links!

Dinheiro said...

good advice frank, txs

aravind said...

Hi Griz,
tnx for the reply.......i sent u an email with some articles attached to it on Indian Premier League.........hope they will be helpful in sending some backlinks for my blog
I'll try writing more artciles for this till then try sending some backlinks with them.....

goldcoaster said...

I have sent another email, Griz
my address is my name at gmail

Article Submissions said...

For those looking for article directories, a good friend of mine (wink, wink) has started a new one...vic mentioned it, but didn't put the link in.

article-resort.com

Check it out, sign up and let me, er, my friend know what you think.

It's pretty simple, but PR1 so far...

Elliott

aravind said...

Hi Griz,
I resent the articles without attaching.........
Now you can copy and paste them

Houston said...

Hi Grizz,

I am die-hard fan of yours, hope to join your forum real soon! Do keep us informed, thank you so much! You Are The Best! Godspeed!

Houston

Grizzly Brears said...

Houston,

Please send an email with "BS and LV" in the link so I can contact you when ready.

Hi Griz, There is a great Blogger blog entirely focused on technical aspects of Blogger blogs, like removing the navbar, 3 columns, changing width etc. Please check. http://tips-for-new-bloggers.blogspot.com/

DennisJr said...

Grizz,

Your AI blog. You don't have much content. Would you say it ranks well because of keyword and backlinks. I ask because I am working on a blog right now and I honestly can's see writing a bunch of articles about the subject. Maybe I am not just being creative enough?

For example, if you were to write about "hats" would actually submit these to article directories or would you concentrate on keyword content and link building?

Dee said...

Hi I set up two blogs two months ago and now my third which is jamaicanlaw.blogspot.com is taking over one week to get indexed and I followed your tips. Have 5 pages of content post to go articles and ezine and still no indexing by google. Why do you think that is the case?

Grizzly Brears said...

Hi Dee,

The 5 linking sites are indexed but not the actual blog itself. There are two possible reasons.

A week to two weeks is not an unusually long period of time and you may still get indexed.

but...

My feeling is that you have probably been flagged and are in the sandbox. I believe this because you do have 5 decent links that Google has crawled (and indexed - just type in jamaicanlaw.blogspot.com/ in the Google search box without the http://) which means that Google has found your site yet isn't indexing it.

The reason is likely because of your subject matter. The 3 top spam keywords are "pharmacy", "Law" and "real estate". Your blog uses two of these and would have been flagged instantly.

These are the niches that most spam blogs concentrate on because they have a high adsense CPC. Because of all the spam sites Google sends all of them to the sandbox in order to weed out the spammers.

You can try a few things. Take all of your monetization off the blog. Post lots of regular quality content and continue getting decent backlinks. It may take a few months or more but eventually Google will see you as legitimate and release you into the index. They may never though. You will likely have to pass a manual review so be sure your content is top notch.

Dee said...

Wow Grizz thanks for the assistance. I will let take your advice about removing the monetization and adding more content and let you know more.

Dee said...

Grizz the day after I wrote my site was indexed without me moving the adsense ads. Today NONE of my blogs are indexed. Why have they ALL fallen off?

My husband started a new blog last week and it got indexed but now it is gone too and not even typing site:drpaulashley.blogspot.com shows anything? Are we doing something wrong?

Grizzly Brears said...

Dee,

Just relax, Google has been doing this with most new sites recently. You get indexed quickly, rank fairly well and then get de-indexed only to show up again in a week or two. Not sure why as of yet but keep posting normally and wait a week or so. You should re-appear in the index. If not let me know and I will have a closer look.

Dee said...

Thanks Grizz.

StuckandStruggling said...

@Dee,

I see your website jamaicanlaw.blogspot.com has been reindexed again. I have also experienced getting indexed quickly only to have fallen off.

Project Payday - A Legit Method to Make Money at Home

I have included Project Payday on my blog for all of my readers who write in asking if there are any legit online programs that they can use to make some quick money. Project Payday is not a get rich quick scheme - it is more like a work at home job. You don't need a blog or website as it involves getting paid to try out trial offers from online advertisers. There is work to this but you can realistically earn a couple of hundred dollars a day if you want to put in the effort.

I have written several posts about this and suggest you start with this one. Project Payday

Unfortunately Project Payday is only available to American and Canadian users at this time. Oh and it is free.

Note - After signing up take advantage of the Fast First Training link - you can learn how the IFW system works while making yourself a quick $50.00.
