A Warning Email from Google+
Hey Everyone,
Today I want to share with you from my bad experience of getting a warning email from Google+ about posting spam.
I have never log in to G+ before until the last nite while i was in the process of under studied the course of "How to Share Content & Earn at WA" on Affiliate BootCamp. So I signed in G+ for the first time, practiced and learning how to copy paste the WA affiliate link sharing on my G+ profile, just to test if I did correctly. A few seconds later, my sharing post was gone. I thought it was me not followed exactly from the BootCamp training so I kept repeated sharing the Affiliate link of content at WA, and still the G+ removed the post from my profile. Until when I checked my email, i received a warning email from Google Plus - Check out the attachment of copy&paste as shown as below.

The Risk is if you post any links on G+ that start with my.wealthyaffiliate.com it will be removed and you risk losing your Google account.

What is happening is people are posting the same link (the repetitive post). That is what social sharing is, but in true Google fashion they like to crack down on things they assume is repetitive.
I would just refrain from sharing WA content on Google + (share on other mediums) and focus on sharing all your new websites posts.
Google also has a strong knowledge of accounts that tend to just be "drop zones" of content (ie, constant sharing, no engagement, sharing of the same URL all the time).
Yeah I also did the same and got the same email from google. Thanks for the info. But then what would be the alternative.
Hi - I got that too.
What you should be doing is writing a post on your website, which then goes on to link to WA - and share your post on your website on Google+.
It's highly unlikely your website will be tagged in the same way - that way you get people to YOUR website, which is one of the fundamental aims of why you're here!
All the best, Mark
Hey Mark,
That's a good ideal, you've given me another hint that I've to note it down to my list and this can be a keyword to my new domain name.. Thanks and I like it..
Wow that is scary considering I own an android and the platform is google. I'd be livid if something like that happened to me. Thank you for sharing. So we can't go through G+?
Hey Lori,
Welcome and Thanks for the props.. As I have mentioned above , it's at your own risk. Maybe u should check out on this blog too and it happened to other members. You may be more convince enough after reading this blog here>>>> >>>>>>>>>>. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/boomergp08/a_aid/4f563f7d
Then you can decide from here... Otherwise..
Thank you LeZua. I will make a note of it and check it out. You are very considerate. Thank you and good luck. Bruce,
Hey Bruce,
Welcome and Thanks for the props;) I just want to be like Everyone on WA sharing our good and bad experiences and contributing the most helps with advices to help one another.
That's probably a lot of affiliates have overly promoted WA in bad ways. So now the WA url may be flagged as spam. I would mention this to Kyle and Carson for their take.
Thanks Eddy... I almost lost my G+ account the other nite.. Otherwise...
I think it's better for me to create another G+ account for the purpose of the same incident happened to me..
You're welcome LeZuaEvangelina,
I would avoid sharing any content on Google+ for now.
What I do is write my blog post which usually have my wealthy affiliate links in them. Then I share my blog post instead. So that's my suggestion until you contact Kyle and Carson about this situation.
It's better to drive people to your blog anyway to build a relationship and trust with them first. This warms them up to wealthy affiliate. Trust me it works because it got you here. :)
Hey Eddy ,
I'm alittle confused here, did you mean I should link my blog post from here to my website? But how? What articles I should write about to link this blog post?
I'll be very much appreciate if you can be alittle more specific so that I can easily understand.. Sorry for that , I'm very slow.
Sorry LeZuaEvangelina,
If your goal or niche is to promote WA, then it's better to build your own website. Write articles and then put your wealthy affiliate links in your articles. Then promote your own articles on Google+.
For instance, I wrote a review about a company, within my review I mention WA as an alternative. Then I promoted my review article on google+ : https://plus.google.com/u/0/104965674499914370144/posts/iz372YHbzfp So it's not the exact way that Kyle talk about sharing WA content which ultimately is about getting people to join wa. But it uses a similar principle.
I hope this helps.
Eddy with a Y.
