There has been a lot of talk recently about some changes that Google seems to be forcing on those people who have been producing blogger blogs and putting adsense on those blogs.

It may seem odd since blogger and adsense are both owned by the big G but there have been a lot of user producing hundreds of blogger blogs with adsense ads on them but little in the way of original content and it seems the powers that be have decided to clean up their system and get rid of these lightweight websites.

Some very well regarded, established blogs have been caught up in this change and while some have simply found their sites de-indexed by G others have had their sites taken down, never to be seen again. If you have put a lot of work into a website over many months that can be very upsetting but ultimately Blogger can do whatever they want. It is after all their main site and they decide on the rules.

This event emphasizes the importance of developing sites you can control by using your own domain name and renting server space to host the sites on. Use a good website backup system to keep copies of your sites and if anything goes wrong, whether it is a hacker taking down your site, your hosting company losing your files or any unforeseen disaster, you will be able to have your site up and running again in a short time.

If you want to develop a long term business with your websites the old ways are the best ways. Your own domain hosted on server space you control, publishing unique content that is of value to your visitors. It may take longer to build sites that make you money but over the long term you should have a business model that continues to work and keeps you on good terms with the search engine gods.
