“Your advertising account has been disabled for suspicious activity.”

These are dreaded words no one wants to see when logging into an advertising account on any network, and as I have had relative success advertising on Facebook, this was especially gutting for me to see in my account after waking up one morning.

While this could be yet another sign that playing in someone else's sandbox is a bad idea, I was determined to get my account reinstated because, well, advertising on Facebook simply works for my blogs.

So in this one, I wanted to share what happened and the surprisingly simple steps I used to get my Facebook advertising account reinstated.

Note: For full clarity, I should say that my pages worked fine for conventional posts and organic traffic, but rather only my ability to pay for advertising was disabled.

When you make a point of tracking trends and news in an industry like we do at This Week in Blogging, you're always on the lookout for stories or ideas that hit a little different.

We try to make sure we're focusing on things that would cause the average content creator to at least raise an eyebrow, and we think today's feature effectively passes that litmus test.

Have you ever picked up a book that you really wanted to read, and then you open it, only to discover the font is smaller than an infant ant and you'd need a magnifying glass just to read it?

Most people will simply decide that it ain't worth reading – which is to say, font matters.

The same is true for websites and social media, so today, in honour of Twitter's recent font change, we're going to look a little bit more in-depth at fonts.

Voice search isn't necessarily something we put at the top of the pile as bloggers, but at the very least, it's worth being aware of.

Many may remember that Google launched voice search in 2011, it wasn't all that practical, but as technology has changed, so too has demand.

Digital marketing agency DBS Interactive even notes in a recent article that in the US “41% of adults use voice search at least once per day.”

Yes, a large portion of that is for music and weather, but the use of voice search to find articles and news has skyrocketed in recent years.

I think we can all probably agree that the way in which Apple has utilized their physical stores has worked out for them, right?

I mean, who hasn't been wooed by that bright white apple sign a time or two?

Well, Google has finally said it's time for them to do a little wooing of their own by officially opening the doors on their first location in New York City.
