When a Blog not a Blog, More Cleanup, More Advice
A blog is not a blog when it's nothing more than a blatant advertisement for some new construction condo in Brooklyn, complete with phone number and email listed in the title and description. 'Blog' removed and user blyuma deactivated.
The blog 'Prdanag' is a goner too, for tag abuse. Please be descriptive and accurate with your tags, accurate being very key here. In this case, since I don't think it's a truly blatant abuse like the previously mentioned example, I left vothanhnien's account active and just deactivated the blog. If you're vothanhnien and you want the blog to be active again, email me and ask. Be sure to include the new tags you will use that accurately describe what your blog is about.
I also went through and deactivated blogs with totally inaccurate descriptions. I want to keep hands off as possible, but at the same time I want visitors to Bloggertizer to get the impression that there is some sort of quality control. So if you put as your blog description your blogs stats (PR, Page View, etc), or if you put something so generic as to be worthless ('general blog', 'anything'), guess what? If you guessed your blog as been deactivated, you guessed right!
DO NOT put your blog's PR in your title or description. Bloggertizer checks the blogs PR when it is submitted and updates PR values once a week. You know what? PR's change! And when you brag about your blog being a PR 4, and it's not, it sort of makes you look like a liar.
I recently wrote a post about some things a blogger should do to increase the chances of a drawing the interest of an advertiser. One of the main things I mentioned was using proper grammar. Yes, I'm going to pick on someone. The description for the blog titled 'unik':
Think of your blog listing as an ad. Be concise, be accurate, and be enticing. You are trying to get advertisers interested, not give them a reason to stay away.
Tips:
Use proper case
Use proper spelling
Use proper grammar
Be descriptive and accurate
Just these things alone will set you apart from the majority of listings and raise your chances of attracting the interest of a paying advertiser.

its about reference and health information for the profesinal at the medical expecialy for the medcal doktorLooking at the blog itself, I see it isn't an English language blog. That being the case, I think the user made a mistake by not mentioning that, and the description he wrote, while entertaining, is unlikely to generate any business.
