Hey guys. I hope everyone is doing well. I just wanted to keep you informed on something that is happening that is pretty scary to me. I am a member of some different blogger groups. It keeps me up to date on things going on in the blogger world.
I saw a post last night saying that facebook has been completely removing pages that excessively post giveaways calling them "spam". It has apparently happened to several pages that are much bigger than mine. The issue mainly seems to be with all those who constantly post the ones where you have to like, share, and tag people to enter. I rarely post those. HOWEVER, some seem to think blogger giveaways are an issue as well if they are posted too frequently. I am hoping regular sweepstakes aren't an issue. Not really sure how that could be viewed as "spam" when these are from huge, well known companies that most certainly fulfill their giveaways. Anyway, I am hoping nothing happens to my page as a result of what I am hearing. I saw several people confirming this to be true. I have been working hard all these years and I would certainly be devastated if this happened. "Group" pages were not mentioned, so hopefully the group page will be ok. I highly recommend joining the group. It's really hard to say what facebook will do though. They seem to be scrutinizing bloggers more and more unless you are paying them for advertising. My plan going forward is to try to continue to post a good variety of posts and maybe space out my blog giveaways a little bit more. I wanted everyone to be aware of this in case the facebook page suddenly disappears one day. The sad thing is that facebook gives no warning, no chance to change, and just drops the page suddenly. I have no way of knowing if my page is even being looked at by facebook or considered for removal.
What I am asking you as a follower and fan of the page to do is this:
Please follow me on all my social media sites if possible. At least pick an alternate to facebook if you are able to do so. If not, then follow the website. Bookmark this website and check here frequently for all the latest freebies and contests. Also, please comment below any statements of support for the page. Facebook does have a chance for an appeal from what I have heard and maybe if I get enough support here, I could use this as evidence that there are many who want to see my page and don't think it's just spam. It may not help, but it's worth a try. Thank-you guys. I appreciate all the support
I can get. It has been a hard road. Much love to each of you.
