My Blogger blog disappeared or was blocked: what to check

A blog that seems gone is usually in the wrong account, in the trash, or blocked. Go through the checks in order.

1. Is it in the wrong account?

Blogger's help says to make sure you are signed in to the same Google Account that created the blog. To switch, click your profile picture at the top right and choose another account; a new window opens for that account. You can switch accounts only when writing posts or managing the blog. If the blog has several administrators, ask whether another one removed you.

2. Is it in the deleted blogs?

At the top left click the down arrow. Under Deleted blogs (or Trashed blogs in some versions) click the blog and choose Undelete. The restored blog appears in your list again. Blogger says deleted blogs can be restored within 90 days before they are removed for ever.

3. Was it deleted by Google?

Check your email for a message from no-reply@blogger.com. If Google deleted the blog, the email explains why.

4. Was it blocked?

If Google blocked the blog for breaking the Blogger Content Policy or Google's Terms of Service, the "Your blogs" list shows a warning beside the title. To ask for a review:

1. Click the down arrow at the top left.
2. Click the name of the blog.
3. Check your content for possible violations.
4. Click Appeal.

The blog may be restored if Google confirms it does not violate the policies. Before you appeal, fix what you can: remove content that could break the rules, so that the review finds a clean blog.

5. Is it just not showing in search?

Make sure Visible to search engines is on in Settings. Make sure the content is something people search for. If you recently restored the blog or changed its address, Blogger notes it can take more than a day before it shows in search results.

6. Is the address not working?

Check that your domain has not expired, and check the domain settings in Blogger. A custom domain that stops working after a long time is often an expired registration or a changed DNS record. If you bought the domain through Blogger, payments and renewals are handled in the Google Admin console.

7. Keep a copy

The surest protection is a backup of the content and the theme (see the backup page). With one, even a lost blog can be rebuilt.

What not to do

Do not create a new blog and copy the content at once if the old one is blocked for a policy reason: the same content can be blocked again. Do not pay anyone who offers to "recover" a blog; the steps above are the official route.
