Most of you already know about moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com. It is one of the authority blogs in the ‘make money online’ niche. When I entered this niche in 2008, I kept a strict eye to the google search engine result pages. This website, moneymakerinfo.blogspot.com has been ranking amongst the top 5 for the keyword ‘make money online’ for more than 2 years now. The person running the blog, Liew Kum Cheng has been writing for it consistently ever since. It had around 1-2 new posts everyday. People used to write guest posts on it, even I’ve written a guest post on it last year. I don’t know that when this happened but I just thought of checking out the blog after a long while and got a bad surprise. The blog no longer exists!
But isn’t this unfair? I hear you buddy. Remember what happened to me two years ago? In case you don’t, blogger suspended my account with 12 of my fully functional blogs. This isn’t really new. However, I wasn’t expecting this to happen a really popular blog. It was easily getting close to 2000 unique visitors a day, most probably I’m understating. It was making a lot of money. Being number 1 for the keyword ‘make money online’ isn’t small you know. It made a lot of money. Plus, it was ranking in the top 3 for many other top keywords as well. I tried to check why this happens. The reason would always be insufficient to call for the action of suspension for the blog as in my case as well. I have already emailed Liew asking what happened. He would definitely be involved in sending a gazillion mails to google. This would be definitely a big loss for him. My sorrows are with him. All those who are still running on blogger.com, I think that it is about time that you start moving towards your own self-hosted blog. This loss can be estimated in the $XX,XXX range. Such was the worth of the blog. So, blogger.com is definitely not a recommended choice for anyone looking to get into blogging anymore. The risks far outweigh the benefits. The choice is yours. Update: The blog is now back up. I don’t really see a difference on it neither have I heard back from the author. I’m just glad it’s back again. Related Articles:

Hiya! I'm Abdul Rehman, the 18 year old behind this awesome blog. I started off as a regular blogger and over time I have made my mark in the field of internet marketing, receiving many accolades in the process. Starting from nothing, today my blog gets over 40,000 visitors a month.
Or in Google’s words:

Interesting but alarming news. I think that if someone who uses blogger would face the risk of his blog disappearing, it is indeed a good idea to take other platforms.

I’ve been reading about disappearing blogs, and one of the major reasons is that the owner didn’t follow the terms of service of the site. I don’t know the reason why that blog disappeared, but I think it’s always good to keep in mind the ToS of the site we’re signing up to.

This is really tragic not just for the owner of the blog but for all the people who have blogger account. Carlocab is in the number spot now.

What was the reason Google Blogger gave for suspending the blogs? I only saw, “The reason would always be insufficient”. If it’s worth five figures, wouldn’t modifying it enough to get Google to reinstate it be a good thing? If you’ve already answered this in a previous post, forgive me. This is my first time visiting this blog so I’m just trying to understand.

Oh, I know the feeling..
2 of my first blogs were deleted by blogspot.com (and that’s the reason why I went to self-hosted)
You know the feeling of setting your own site up, adding widgets, adding ads, then the next day, you don’t have a blog anymore.

Yep they deleted it for a while and that would have been a huge loss for him and sad news in the industry. But they gave it back so that is very good news. Self-hosted is definitely best but blogger does still have good uses for people who want to start a blog.
