| Blogjob.com is DOWN for everyone. It is not just you. The server is not responding I hope it will be good news soon. this way or that way. What do you think guys?

| Wow, I admire you for still visiting the site until now! To be honest, I haven’t checked it in days but I would love to be able to publish my pending articles there sitting in draft before the site is gone for good. | |
| @cessy08 either way it’s gonna be something good down or up. | |
| I have just visited BlogJob and this is what I got:
This means that BlogJob site is not properly responding either it is being upgraded for a better and efficient service or it is transferring something or immigrating to a better site hosting. In short, BJ is under maintenance. That is what I have found while searching this technical error as far as the Internet is concerned. I am still hoping that BJ would be resuscitated and invigorated as a new creation, a new being. That is how optimistic I am for I have a pending credit which is nearing to be cashed out. I have never thought it would be suspended temporarily. Or it is just a euphemistic term so that we couldn’t totally put the blame to the said site and if we get tired of waiting, we will leave the site without any grudge or discontentment upon ourselves. Those who are still hoping that BJ would restore its reward system just indicate here for I am one of them to be frank with. | |
| @nakitakona13 sane here, I am hoping for the best and looking forward to points suspension lifted. I too have certain amount of points pending there. | |
| I just went to look, and it’s working fine for me right now. | |
| Yes it is and I saw 4 members on the site right now. Maybe the site is in the process of coming back with its reward program. | |
| i just went there, yup it is ok now, must be the maintenance problem or server. Anyway, i still pray so that it revive and I am looking forward to blogging there again. | |
| I have gone there awhile ago and it is running. I even leave a comment saying: Let’s have a roll call. I have just get in. I don’t know if it would be responded. | |
| @sunil Do you know if there has been any news about the rewards? It seems that Sheridan has been completely silent for over a month. The only thing that was ever said was that the site experienced a drop in traffic after the migration to the new server. This was addressed by changing, and then very shortly thereafter eliminating, the rewards program. The only hope that was ever given was that maybe if the traffic came back up, the program would be reinstated. Notice that there was never any discussion of the possible causes for loss of traffic, which should have included all of the downtime the site experienced and the fact that members reacted to the many outages by both publishing and promoting less. There was never any transparency at all about how much traffic was lost, or how much is needed to keep the site sustainable. And there was never any statement of what the traffic looked like when the rewards were stopped – or whether this decision has improved or worsened the situation (I suspect it’s the latter.) The only thing that I know has been said in response to the many, many requests for information is that Sheridan understands if people want to stop blogging for a while or if they want to delete their accounts. Meanwhile, Rex keeps telling people the site will never come back if people stop blogging and that they’ll damage their brand with Google if they stop adding to blogs on the site. To be honest, I’m not even sure that’s true. And it does seem a bit heavy-handed, especially when he implies it’s greedy for people to put earning money first. That’s all well and fine for someone who doesn’t need the income – not so much for a person who relies on writing to pay the bills. The atmosphere at BlogJob used to be very positive, but I don’t even enjoy going there anymore. Most of my blogging friends aren’t publishing there, and forum activity is less than scintillant, to say the least. I think Sheridan made a bad business decision and continues to compound it by remaining silent and refusing to reveal any sort of concrete plan for getting the site back up on its feet. This makes it look like he’s just flying by the seat of his pants. And worse still, it gives the impression that he holds the contributors to be separate from the site and not worthy of being informed, and that he can’t or won’t bring his problems to the users in order to ask for help. I think he could learn a lot from Will, over at PersonaPaper….. | |
| I have deleted my blogjob account. The fact that there is no presence of the owner says a lot. | |
| @bestwriter Okay, did you get a confirmatory mail from BJ that your blog site has been officially deleted? Unless they delete it officially your posts will be listed and visible. I only deleted one with 9 posts only but it was not deleted officially so still listed and visible. | |
| @suny I got a message – ‘Sad to see you go’ or something like that. I cannot login although I can see the home page with activities of others with a login tab. One can no longer register as this has been withdrawn. I also get a message when I just tested logging that there is no user with that email. Google will continue to show our posts in search engines but when you click on those links our blog job page will show with nothing in there. You have to de index your blogs in google search permanently if you have not already done that. This link can help https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en#make-permanent

| @bestwriter Thanks for the link but I will post them back on BJ once the site is running and paying because I have a feeling the site is about to come back. I have only deleted my 9 posts and not the blog site. I have done that with an intention to post them on my main site having 500+ posts.

| @suny What makes you think it will come back. Just asking. I do see a few posting there but do you think that is viable for the site to survive? If LB makes good progress I would choose this site over blog job
