MyBlogLog has banned one prominent SEO for publishing problems that he’s found with their service. Jeremy Schoemaker of the ShoeMoney blog showed how easily MyBlogLog members could pretend to be other people when visiting other MyBlogLog member websites.
Even though the method for doing this used information the service makes easy to find, they considered it misuse of MyBlogLog and banned Jeremy for doing it. In response, Jeremy called MyBlogLog’s staffers "idiots" and accused them of shopping people’s data to other web sites before Yahoo purchased them.
Marketing Pilgrim’s Andy Beal has had issues with MyBlogLog in the past, and is now boycotting them over the ShoeMoney banning.
Personally, what myblog does is entirely their business. Yes it is hard to swallow and is sometimes hits you really bad while getting banned. One of the main reasons being that you are just not prepared for it. Otherwise, banning has become an acceptable factor in online marketing. To put it in short.... Dude if you haven't got banned until now.. then you must be doing something wrong and you don't know the insider secrets. So it's high time to go buy yourself one of those "black books"... :):)
On the other side, any client ought to read the privacy laws prior to signing up and most companies have you by your "well whatever" if you read the fine print ! So there ain't any reason to get hot.. because getting hot only makes things worse..
So basically, all's fair in love and online marketing !
Nonetheless, Eric ought to sort this out asap....
