"I keep getting the following message on my Google+ app only: "Warning You've recently been violating our policies. I
Wow! So Google Plus won't be accepting many blogs I guess because most blogs do have affiliate links, as that's how they make money on their blogs!! I'm going to read their complete policy again! They must have changed things, because I always posted blogs with affiliate links on Google plus with no problem in the past!
Exactly! That's why I think something isn't right here. I feel like I got bad information. I do not have any affiliate links in my G+ posts, just links to posts in my blog.
I am wondering if this really happened because I gave out too many +1s in a short period of time. That seems more likely than me posting links to my blog.
I just learned that giving excessive +1s will also trigger a warning. I am totally guilty of this because I have been trying to help my fellow WA members while also getting some +1s and shares of my own.
Well, this was a difficult lesson to learn.
ohhhhhh..That makes sense! Wow! So many rules with so many different programs..hard to keep track of them all!!...lol
This happens from time to time. If you do a search above regarding Google plus warnings you will see some other posts come up from people also warned about this.

Why did I get a policy warning from google?

So, this happened because of +1ing to many posts? Not because of your own posts? If that is the case it doesn't make sense that they would ask you to remove your posts because of it linking to a page that has affiliate links. I'm pretty sure practically every webpage out there has advertising on it. If they start not allowing posts that link to stuff like that there will be no point in having google+.
I am not 100% sure about anything, really. I've been working with a member from the Google Help Team and they reviewed my posts and my website and this is what they are suggesting. Too much +1-ing OR that I have affiliate links. It's killing me!!! I only have about 10 posts. My account is very new; less than a month old.
It is strange. I'm sorry. If all else fails maybe yo could try to make a new google+ and repost... but that would not be to fun.

Thank you. That may be my only recourse at this point. I'll update if anything develops.
