This is the problem with having a monoploy on search.

Google should really do something about this. They should frequently check their database to avoid this kind of problems. There would be a lot of people that would be very disappointed if this happens again.

I would try to get in contact with Google to resolve the situation. This does indeed happen from time to time but they should fix it.

Google always try to check their spam directory by doing such foul thing. I think they must change their algorithm not to block any good sites from being viewed.

It is quite worrying how much power is concentrated in googles hands and how simple mistakes can reak havoc with peoples blogs.

There is not much we can do, Google is in charge and we must adapt to keep up. I’ve never liked that they can mark you a spam without warning, at least send out an email or a warning.

Unfortunately this is one of the downsides to being at Google’s will. This is better than having your site heavily penalized in Google’s rankings and watching your revenue stream plummet!

These things happen from time to time with Google. It is constantly changing things to stay ahead of the spammers. But, they always tend to mess up in high profile ways. like deindexing all blogger blogs for a day or two. But, you are right they tend to fix the issue rather quickly.

Thats true, i experienced stolen of even Hosting servers or hard drive failures with whole data lost.
by hosting at blogger i could not see any option (tried may be i missed) to take backup of all posts/data. If this happens to a paid hosting at least i can take backups to my local system or burn somewhere and if i will find downtime or unstable server i can immediately change the hosting with minimal drop of rankings on SEs.

Thanks!

Az- It was in April 2008. That is the problem with any free hosting option. It can be a problem even with paid hosting if you are not reasonably careful (and who can read the legal jargon anyways).
