Google places account SUSPENDED!!!
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:27:49 pm »
Hi everyone,

Don't know if that's the right place for that but got my google places account suspended for what seems to be not complying with the their quality guidelines. That to be honest is too sad for me as I've been getting a fair amount of business through Places.
Now they say I have to amend my listing to meet there guidlines which I did but nothing changed since. Anybody experienced the same thing?

cheers
Emil

All I know about 'Places' is that I've got top spot, don't know how and don't even know what the guidelines are.
Perhaps you could tell us what the guidelines are because I'd love to get a few others removed who are cheating the system by using PO boxes and mates who allow their addresses to be used >:(

Thanks for that, I've had a look and I should be ok
Hopefully they will come down on at least 3 in my area who fall foul of those guidelines.

Google have changed the way they index pages apparently and small to medium sized businesses might take a hit.  It's called 'Panda'.  I had an email about it this morning.
