What generally happens to Blogger blogs is if Google has spotted content associated with spam on their blog, they contact the blog owner to give them a chance to clear up any misunderstandings. In this case the Custom Search Blog team did not respond, the blog was disabled and the URL was released to the general public. Someone named Srikanth swooped in and grabbed it, and wrote the following post:
"Google Custom Search, is the wonderful product from Google which many webmasters have been looking and dream for," Srikanth wrote. "Also Google Custom Search is integrated with Ad-sense, which means make money while keeping users on your site for longer time with custom search engine.... Good Luck for all the Custom Search customers(??)."And yes, I've actually received such a notice from Google before (not about this blog, but I fully expect to). It's very annoying as they disable new content and only way to get it released is basically filing a ticket. And it takes daaaays before they release it. I've seen tons of posts on user forums about it, so Google's algorithm isn't to selective ... and their handling of it isn't too speedy either.

Basically, it is a fake blog whose sole purpose in life is to promote shaded sites associated with spammers and scammers. Or copy text from other blogs (or sites like Wikipedia), or simply represent a random gibberish. Then link to your site with its own shadow in order to increase the number of pages that link to it. The motivation is that Google (and other search engines) assign greater importance to sites that are linked to more frequent, as the case (generally valid) is a website with links to more than what is most popular and therefore more important.
