Another reason to avoid BLOGGER blogs
 

If I wasn't getting decent search engine traffic I would ditch Blogger immediately. They are shutting down the entire site including access to surfers at 12 noon on the weekend (instead of 2 am when MOST maintenance is done)? It seems like they WANT all serious webmasters to leave, or just don't give a fuck...

here's the notice:

Blogger News
Maintenance on Saturday
We will be upgrading our network access this weekend which will require downtime for both Blogger and Blog*Spot. The outage will occur at noon (PST) on Saturday and last for 2 hours. Thanks for your patience during this maintenance window

There are no "serious" webmasters left on bloggers...

shit happens

Oooooo buuuuurn.

I expect the international traffic to blogger.com is huge.

Someone is going to bitch whenever they do it.

it's not any worse than epass, last time they were down for half a day without any announcement up front...

blogger is such a waste

but I'm probably gonna lose about $20

:feels-hot

request a refund immediately

I want a refund.... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

wordpress makes my life easier

We are giving away free blog hosting and more to our affiliates. :)

No ads etc
Runs on WordPress

I hope they shutdown googlebot at the same time, otherwise one could get some problems :1orglaugh

But you can host all of your blogs at thumblogger, and all banners are allowed. As long as it's legal though.

Funny stuff.


Another thing about blogger/blogspot... if you're running AdSense on your blogs and you are 'extra agressive' about promoting your blog, you might get Adsense disabled for your blogger/blogspot account.

Separate standalone domain blogs, based on WP, may be the way to go given this development and blogspot's bad infestation by splogs.

what a great fucking word

that word needs to be used more

it describes 90% of the blogs people run on this board

the shit is free, it only gonna be for 2 hours... quit bitching

What do you think about sound of blogs' evil twin... ping spam aka SPING? :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hahaha..

why dont ya just blog on your own domains and hosting nshit?

Yep. Because of splogs, blogger's advantages are eroding very quickly. Plus that blog comment blaster they are selling at clickbank is clogging up a lot of blogspot blogs with useless spam comments. There's a RIGHT way to do it and a wrong way... blog blaster uses the wrong way :1orglaugh

You seem to have missed that the notice was posted on 1st November. The outage was last week.

sandbox penalty

hahaha classic.
