My blog was stolen from me - not this one
Oh how I really dislike internet thieves. In January of last year I was offered the chance to start another blog on a community blogging website. Here is the blog post I wrote about it. In the beginning I was thrilled with all of the pats on the back I got on that site. My blog over there was growing and growing in traffic and during the last 6 months it was in the top 20 of the blogs on there. Then without warning the owners of the blogging community sold the domain name to NBC. That happened in May 2010. I wrote one blog post after the sale, when the blog was moved to a new domain name and that new post only appeared on the blog for a few days then disappeared. The post was simply a statement of the new domain the blog was now located on and how I hoped my readers would find me, nothing more. It was after the new post disappeared I found that I could not write on my blog. I could log in but that was it. I emailed support and this is the email they sent back:
We regret to inform you that your account with BlogDog.com has been
canceled. We removed your last post of May 8th and your account
balance of $XX.XX was transferred via PayPal on June 10th.
Sincerely,
BlogDog.com Support
No indication of why they did it but they have my work and continue to make money in the form of Google ads on it.
I am not the only one who was duped by these unsavory bunch of thieves there are more. Here is a list of those that wrote about their experiences with today dot com.
Avoid the scam “blogdog” like the plague
I will not put a link to the blog that they stole from me since I don’t want to give them any link juice or traffic. Damn, I feel violated.
