Blog Catalog Scam!!!!!Before You Submit To Blog Catalog Read This!!!!

cyber policeI recently tried to submit this blog to blog Catalog but the account got de activated.

I saw this stuff below. It appears they do it quite a lot and are a rather judgemental and fickle  crowd. It seems also  that you can have an account for years, imagine all that work in submitting and then they close your account! BEWARE before you waste your time here. It appears from the comments that it is hard to even get an answer and there are double standards at play where they allow some but not others. It seems they have an aversion to languages other than English but it appears from the comments that they  allow some non english blogs but not others. We are it appears at the whim of Angie who has to like your blog or for some other random reason approved it.

They complain about blogs being just for selling when they have this on their site:-

 

“Relevant Sites

Create specifically generated Adwords for your website with a reputable Adwords marketing company”

Go to the ‘Problems’ sections and see for yourself.    Read on and you decide!

My account was deactivated today and I’m not sure why. I’ve been on there for over a year, maintain good blogs, and now my account is gone. I tried to verify one of my blogs yesterday and maybe that had something to do with it. Not sure. What can I do?

jaycars 3 months ago

This place is dead. I’ve submitted a ticket like 4 hours ago and still no response. It doesn’t appear to be very active. I’m kind of bummed. I’ve been promoting and telling people about Blogcatalog for over 3 years now and all of sudden today I’ve got no access. What a bunch of crap this is. If I don’t get a response I’m just going to take off all my blogcatalog links, verifying data, and other promotions. I think this may be the beginning of the end for Blogcatalog.

Tried to sign in and said the account had been deactivated. This is news to me… no knowledge that this had happened at all. Then i clicked on the link to contact support to get it reactivated, and it comes up with page not found and this forum… am not sure what on earth has happened to blog catalog, but it seems to have serious web site issues… how do I get my account reactivated? All i did was try to verify my blog… then automatically deactivated

Jay,

I have approved only one of your 4 blogs because the other 3 blogs you have are for sole purpose of selling car insurance which we consider that to be spam.

Have a good day.

Yet another winner from your system. I just love these legit car insurance blogs that are not selling car insurance, oh wait, they are. Why are they approved? Could this be unfair? Is this bias? Who knows.

My account is still dead and I can’t get in despite you keep telling me that one of my blogs was approved. Is this a game or joke or something? I’m waiting for the April Fools sticker but nothing yet. If this is a real professional network, please get your stories straight before making such bold and ridiculous statements that make you look ignorant and foolish.

Angie Alaniz 2 months ago

Irfan,

Your blog has copyright issues which is why its been declined.

 

Angie Alaniz 1 month ago

Aramboy,

You have websites not blogs. Your websites or what your calling your blogs are intended mostly for commercial use.

Not saying that is a bad thing, however BC is only accepting personal blogs at this time.

 

aramboy 1 month ago

Thanks Angie.

I accept that some of my blogs are for commercial use.

However some of them are not,

for example: http://www.metastocktradingsystem.com

So, am I able to reactivate my account again?

You can delete the ones that you think they are not personal blog.

Or please confirm me that my account cannot be used anymore.

Thanks again for your support.

davy2012 2 months ago

Hi Angie Alaniz, you have miss-emailed your reply to Irfan to my email adress. I’m very puzzled with your service. My question has been there for nearly 6 days and you still have not given me any advice or notice, but emailed the wrong reply to my account. My account is still deactivated and I can still not log in my account. Once again, my email adress: davy2012@163.com, user name: Davy Zeng. I hope you can give me a quick reply as soon as possible. If still no suggestion or advice, then I have to leave your platform. Thanks.

Angie Alaniz 1 month ago

Hello again Machkowy,

Your blogs where declined as they are not being viewed as blogs here as a blog is more of a personal journal. Your posts don’t have enough content.

However, I have decided to let you keep one of them on BC, the one in English of course as I am sure some people are interested in your wave chats :)

Have a wonderful day.

I don’t sell anything directly on my page. also a ballance of information articles and articles w/ links. Plus they have links that lead to thier outside business. Just curious. So if I need to alter anything.

“Your account has been deactivated.”

User: Niteblade

Hey, fantastic. I write 100% original content both my blogs on Blogspot.

One blog revolves around teaching people how to make money with their blogs (http://blogspot-ads.blogspot.com), and another blog is a personal blog about my views on psychology, philosophy, religion and social commentary (http://alethein.blogspot.com).

I interacted on your discussion board, writing responses to members of your community after reflecting on their topic at hand. No spam. No advertising. No nasty comments. But both of my blogs were unilaterally rejected, without much thought, really. Perhaps you did me a favor.

I could not approve your ad blog as it has copyright issues and has to many ads. But I did like you alethein blog so I have approved that one.

Hi Angie,

I was wondering why my account was deactivated. Details:

david@bluelink.ca

Basically because we have to many blogs that have to do with software and mainly because you didn’t add a link back or a widget that has our badge on it.

Please upload.

You’ve been approved.

I registered under ImGumby,
