Help! My posts have disappeared!!

December 3rd 2008 23:44
Help! The posts on my Free Sewing Patterns For You Blog have disappeared! Could somebody have deleted them for some reason?
Has this ever happened to anyone else...lost posts?
Thanks to anyone that can give me an answer! I'm afraid to post anything now!

Those posts were regarded as spam and deleted because they contained nothing but links to other websites.

Please don't use Orble as a link farm.

Thanks,
Jon.

Thanks for answering. I had just started the blog, and it was intended to be a directory of sewing patterns, some links and others originals (my own). I hadn't had time to post the original patterns yet along with the links.

Can somebody please contact me before erasing my posts so I can explain? If you look at my other blogs, you will see they are not link farms.

Thanks again for answering. Maybe I'll let that blog go.

Hi moonglow,

Check out the Orble Terms & Conditions for clarification on what constitutes "Spam" (actually, the word spam does not even appear in the Ts & C's)... The links I saw you post all seemed legitimate and helpful, they weren't linking through to scam websites or anything like that.

Maybe you just need to write more text to encapsulate the links? I know lot's of bloggers on here who have multiple links in their posts; so who knows what is or isn't spam??

Thanks so much! The patterns I linked to were not even my own...oh well. I guess it's better that they were deleted earlier rather than later after I had made more additions.

My biggest concern was that I had somehow deleted the posts myself when I was modifying them!

I have another place I'll put that blog (as it will be full of links). But, my other ones are here to stay (I hope-ha ha!!).

Thank you for commenting!! I still love Orble!

Posts which contain nothing but links are in 99.999% of cases, spam.

Try to provide some content along with the links, as well as an explanation of them and they won't get flagged.
