Does anyone do that yet? All my entries get deleted within a short period of time for the violation of TOS.

Are there any tips to keep the posts running on these websites? Or the services are so advanced now that they remove all affiliate stuff that fast?
 


What were you posting? Clickbank links? Some programs filter for things they dont like. Strangely I have about 5 hosted pages and ahve never got one pulled.

Do you scrape and copy the text or write it yourself?

Maybe try less spammy or do adsense on a blogger blog. THat is ok in their TOS.
 
What service(s) did they get yanked from? Wordpress frowns on affiliate links for the most part. This type of marketing is getting harder to game, not impossible but just harder. Squidoo was slapped about 2 months ago but rankings are coming back.

I've only ever had 1 Squidoo page locked on me. I just deleted it anyway, it was a page I was testing a hoodia offer that I abandoned.
 
What I did in fact:

1. i created new accounts on Squidoo, WordPress and Hubpages
2. i added one page of text copied from my website with links to this website (sort of landing page for PPC). affiliate links were masked as links to this very website.

in a week or so ALL 3 services deleted my accounts.
 
How much content did you use? If it was only a couple of lines then they do sometimes pull pages for that. Try writing 200 words of unique content and see how that goes; I haven't had any problems by doing this.

Interesting... Wordpress has been trigger happy lately. Squidoo you need at least 3 sections other than the Intro section to even get you page published. Hmm... Hubpages, i'm slightly surprised.

Here is what i can tell you for sure. All services like this are on the lookout for crap content now. In reality, crap content is what you posted. You need to put at least a little effort into not being so obvious. I bet they ran some sort of duplicate content check on you. They are probably scrutinizing newer accounts pretty heavily compared established ones.

All my pages are unique content. Sometimes it's the same content rewritten, but still unique. Try adding News or Blog feeds to squidoo or hubpages.

Also, right now hubpages is still in the shitter for rankings anyway but they seem to possibly be starting to creep back. If they got hit with the same penalty as squidoo it should be a few more weeks still.
 
thank you, guys.

it looks like duplicate content and too obvious affiliate nature of the offers could cause this. will re-do that.
