Avoiding 2 Key Abuses that Can Get Your Content Removed by Google...
Avoid Getting Your Blog Content Removed from Google
Blogs are content rich which creates greater opportunity for someone to object to your content. Use the tips below to avoid having your blog suspended because others register complaints against you.
In general, when it comes to reasons others might complain about your blog, copyright is king. While most people know not to copy other people's text, copyright issues are more complex and are worthy of your attention. There are many resources that can help explain copyright pitfalls you might run into with your blog.
The best general rule, when it comes to referring to, using or linking others' content is to give credit where credit is due. Some sites add specific text about how you can go about getting permission to use their content. Copyright owners make up the majority of complaints received by Google requesting that a site be taken down.
Making sure that you are not accused of defamation is also important. While you likely understand the types of criticism of others you should or should not make, there are nuances that can get you into trouble if you don't pay attention to your content.
To avoid potential problems with Google because of claims by individuals that your content amounts to defamation there are some general preventive steps you can take without having to understand every legal nuance. First, you'll want all your opinions to include information explaining that they are your opinion, and secondly if you assert anything negative about a product or person it had better be true. In terms of people you don't like, you must be respectful of people's privacy, even if you believe the negative subject matter you intend to share is true.
Familiarize yourself with blog site as well as search engine rules regarding their specific content policies because if others make an accusation that your blog has content that violates Google's rules, you're also likely to get bounced off the search engine. Such content can range from inappropriate, to abusive, to encouraging illegal activities. If you're unsure of a type or specific piece of content, contact Google or your blog hosting site for directions to check on the suitability of your content. Neither hosting sites nor search engines will provide you with legally binding decisions about the suitability of your content.
One area that bloggers should pay attention to is reciprocal arrangements they make with other bloggers or websites to link to and carry each others content. In this instance you'll have to verify that not only your blog but that the other person's blog or content does not open you up to Google discipline. Creating written agreements with others whose content you recommend or carry should include language indicating that you do not endorse nor are you aware of content that violates any laws or policies, as an extra layer of protection for you if a problem arises.
If you publish content on your blog that you believe could cause problems for you, look into how to remove specific content from your own site. There are lots of easy-to-understand online descriptions of ways to remove content from your blog.
Your content should not result in complaints against you that get your blog removed from Google. Use the tips above to avoid the most common reasons that blog writers face having their content removed.

Making An Impact With Your Blog
Making An Impact With Your Blog
Whether this is your first blog or your tenth, starting on the right path to making an impact blogging is important. Anyone can write a blog, but if you want to do it well and craft an interesting and engaging blog that develops loyal readers, follow these suggestions.
First, choose a topic you love. When you write about something you are passionate about, that passion comes through to your readers. Plus, you are much more likely to look forward to and stick with a schedule of creating posts when you care about the subject.
Simply being passionate about your topic isn't enough. Drawing readers in from the first sentence of every post is important, too. Aim to start each blog post with an intriguing question you then answer throughout the post or a sentence or two that immediately grabs the attention of your readers.
Once you get the attention of readers, you must keep it. Always keep your writing engaging with a friendly tone. As you expand on the topic, though, you also want to come across as someone who knows the topic well, so write with confidence. Stay passionate all the way through each post.
While making yourself sound authoritative on your topic strengthens the confidence your readers have in you, avoid using overly complex words or technical terms. If your blog topic is technical in nature, more technical words are appropriate. However, the use of overly complex wording or obscure words is more likely to scare readers away than to keep them as loyal readers.
Ultimately, your writing and passion are what keep readers returning, but your blog's layout matters as well. Create a layout that fits the topic of your blog but that stays inviting. At the same time, don't create a layout that is too busy or confusing - both frustrate readers and make them less likely to stick around for future posts.
The layout doesn't only apply to the overall look of your blog. For every post, watch the length of your sentences and paragraphs. Long sentences can get confusing, making readers miss the point of what you are trying to say. Long paragraphs are never a good idea. Online readers typically skim instead of actually reading every sentence to look for the information in which they are the most interested. Because of this, keeping paragraphs shorter encourages online readers to keep reading.
