Affiliate Marketing Blogs get the boot

Feb
4th

It’s come to my attention that Wordpress is cracking down on Affiliate Marketing Blogs.

I have included links to the terms of service at WordPress.com and what you can do about it below…

Terms of Service:
http://wordpress.com/tos/
“…content designed to drive traffic to third party sites or boost the search engine rankings of third party sites.”

Types of Unacceptable Blogs:
http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
“Affiliate marketing blogs: Blogs with the primary purpose of driving traffic to affiliate programs.”

What can you do?

Tell Wordpress support you are creating an honest and unbiased affiliate review site. Ask what you need to do to comply with their terms.

As an alternative, you can use Blogger.com. There is nothing in their terms about affiliate blogs.

Blogger.com Content Policy:
http://www.blogger.com/content.g

Pull it up from your soul and get it up on the Web
