Obviously it's a blog that I don't maintain actively. I will remove my affiliate links and see if I can get it back up. This is a great lesson. The small business owners I coach are normally very low tech. They are also bootstrapping. I'll recommend that they use GoDaddy hosting at the level that will support a blog (they seem to be cheapest for a basic host). I wish there was a way to redirect the entire blog to this one so I don't lose all the links. It may be some time before I can take care of this. Janet Everyone,

Their you have a clear commercial interest. Because our net is bigger it is much easier to manage the spam on WordPress.com than other sites like Blogger, creating a better experience for many. Further, this approach contributes to the WordPress ecosystem where people with direct business interests can download the exact same software from WordPress.org and run it on almost any paid hosting platform in the world. The WordPress pie is shared by a lot of hosts, designers and developers, continues to result in WordPress growing in interesting ways. We have our VIP customers which are hand chosen and they are often dealing with challenges serving that much traffic. Here we have expertise.

I guess I should read the rules. This is good information for our students to know too. It doesn't matter if they do product reviews for their own site, does it? I liked Scott's idea to go get the Google Cached files - hopefully that will work. I really like Wordpress if I'm using a host but am somewhat bugged that they limit what you can and can't do on their free option. Blogger let's me put affiliate code all over the place. Is this breaking the rules too? Good luck! That really sucks! I guess I should read the rules. This is good information for our students to know too.

Because of the commercial nature of the content, it probably isn't a good fit for WordPress.com at this time. See the blue section highlighted in the terms of service. As Joseph suggests you can contact support if you really want to scrub out out the commercial content. An export of your content is also just an email away. If for some reason your support requests have fallen through a crack, you now also have mine and Joseph's email addresses. My apologies, we do are best, Lloyd Janet, I know you are a nice person, because a nice person I know emailed me asking about this issue.
