I use to see you promoting it and now i can't find it. Did you move it? Was it hacked? Did the free place you hosted it take it down?

If you are like many others that put their blog on free platforms like wix, weebly, wordpress.com, blogger, or any other free blogging platform not hosted on your hosting and domain, you are giving your content away. You are also putting the control of your blog in their hands.

Sites like Wix, Weebly, and wordpress.com can and will take your blog offline if they choose, and there is nothing you can do about it. You might be inclined to blame them, However You put the content on the blog that violated their terms. So who's fault is it really?

Yes each one of those free blog hosting services have terms of what you can publish on their blog hosting platform. And all it takes is one complaint and your blog is gone with the wind. Publishing illegal programs, porn, racist material, and any kind of offensive material will get your blog shut down. These kind of things could even get your hosting account shut down if you host your own blog.

What happened to your blog?

I was reading a post on your blog and noticed a bunch of new links, words that have been changed. Looks like you are promoting drugs. All the links points to stuff like Cialis, Viagra, amongst others. Not many people are going to take your posting serious when those link do not have anything to do with the subject of the post.

Oh You didn't know all those links were there? You don't know how they got there. They were not in the original post you wrote.

Let me ask you this, Did you install your blog with the default wordpress settings on your hosting, or use a free blog hosting service? If you did the chances are your blog was hacked. You have no security on your blog and did not even think to put any.

You have 3 choices now

1. remove all the links you didn't put in your post today, and see them reappear in a few days.
2. put some security on your blog and then remove all the links you didn't put in your post.
3. Take your blog down completely and redo it properly

Oh i almost forgot, check your images also they most likely are linked to something you did not link them to.

Where can i find help?

I want to fix my blog, get it secured so this does not happen or does not happen again.
