I Failed BlogRush’s Quality Guidelines
I got an e-mail this morning telling me my sports handicapping blog failed the BlogRush quality guidelines.
Reading through the e-mail I had no idea why I was removed… I have quality content, it’s constantly updated, exactly the kind of things BlogRush is looking for. Well, at the very end, I see this last paragraph:
- The blog’s content (or advertising) should not contain any of the following types of content: hate, anti-racial, terrorism, drug-related, hacking, phishing, fraud, pornographic, nudity, warez, gambling, copyright infringement, obscene or disgusting material of any kind, or anything considered illegal.
Everything else in this list is either obscene or illegal except for gambling. Obviously you can make the argument that you typically have to be in a place like Vegas to take part in this type of activity, but BlogRush isn’t quite getting it right by barring this type of content.
Sports bettors like myself are a small crowd so I don’t expect much, but what about the poker playing community?
