GOOGLE SUCKS!
www.themediaguru.co.cc is now a PR3 blog because I had activated that domain 5 months ago… But will it be enough to fool Google? Hmmmm…. :S
The Custom-Domain
Co.cc is a free domain service with no ads & full DNS control. If you’ve got a blog, even if you don’t want a custom-domain, I would advise you to grab up your blog’s domain name before someone else registers it. & setting up the custom-domain is really easy on Blogger. The transisiton from blogspot.com is seamless.
However, I couldn’t get http://themediaguru.co.cc to redirect to my blog, since I’m getting this error: “Another blog is already hosted at this address.”
I’ve tried the Magical Custom Domain Form to clear it up & I’m still waiting for the 48 hours to be over.
Another problem I encountered with Blogger is that it won’t load up Blogger, Picasa & Google-hosted images anywhere except on the post. So I had to move all my template images to Imageshack.us – their servers are quite slow, so the images take longer to load…
That’s it. Ok, I know this should have been accompanied by a new template (I hate the current one) but I promise I’ll work on it after the exams. ;)
FRAK YOU GOOGLE!
Edit:
http://themediaguru.co.cc now up & working!!!
Unfortunately, Blogger’s own redirection service wasn’t working, so I decided to get dirty with DNS settings over at co.cc & it worked!
What I actually did was create a new address record (A) for themediaguru.co.cc without the www & pointed it to ghs.google.com’s IP - 72.14.235.121 The TTL is set to 1 Day.
Also, I’m now using fumpr as my image hoster which claims to be the World’s Fastest Image Hosting – at least it’s faster than imageshack! ;)
Update:
Switch back to Blogger's domain after finding out that the co.cc domain is not free!!! It's only free for a year!!! After a year, co.cc make you pay for the domain according to the popularity of your site. :(
Please don't spam & don't swear!

Good luck on this new domain!
btw, I have to start working to make my PR rise :S
Google is really evil! They are a bunch of fanatics i guess who dont like mauritians :P Even my blog is somehow banned from some google search. Just some occasional visits for the search on Tote Lepep Football and other is from image search.
I am thinking of changing my domain name too. Hopefully I dont depend too much on google for the traffics and many are from facebook. But still there has been a drastic decrease at my place too. I still wonder about the reason! What did we did wrong??
@Yashvin
Thanks. I will also need to work the PR on this new domain... :S
@Avish
I guess we are on the same boat... :S
Frankly, I've no idea why Google banned me - I've already removed all paid links posts, kontera ads, PPP tracking code... but no use! :(
Good for you. Anyways, Google would have kept you on its Google blogsearch but here also you wouldn't have been really sure about that huh. Anyways, hope you get things going well.
Infact i dnt think your blog is banned.
Try looking for your indexed page here using the indexed page checker here
Try this too
:-)
Its that they are giving more importance to PR to display search results now. Concerning the HSC search result... I see that s4ndeep blog is first listed there... i checked his PR and his is 3.
However what i find strange is how come your's is low :S You are blogging since long. Try working on increasing your PR by getting more backlinks from high PR sites.
@avish
Technically it's not a ban, since all pages are indexed. But apart from some keywords, they never show up in the Search results. Like only these two show up.
I had PR4 for a week, before Google brought it to zero, a few months ago.
As for the 'HSC Result' keyword - check the above graph, you'll see my pageloads jumped to 970 - that's bcoz Google "unbanned" me for 3 days & my blog appeared on all related searches. But they banned me the very next day & that my blog disappeared again... :(
