    copied!<p>I created a new website using a newly registered domain. </p> <p>When trying to share it as a link in Facebook, it is classed as "spammy" and I'm unable to share it. </p> <p>After a few weeks of research and reporting to FB I copied the site entirely and placed on a new <code>TLD</code>. </p> <p>This has instantly become blocked on facebook which made me think there's something within the structure of the site which is causing it to be marked as spam.</p> <p>Using object debugger on the original URL has given a number of various responses such as:</p> <ul> <li>"Error parsing input URL, no data was scraped"</li> <li>Response code 206</li> <li>Response code 203 </li> </ul> <p>I read that using <code>chrome</code> can bug it out so I used <code>firefox</code> and <code>safari</code> to check.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea why the response codes vary for a static site?</p> <p>Are there any specific site setups which are currently causing FB to block?</p> <p>I have read that certain <code>.htaccess</code> configs, such as www>non-www can upset FB, is this true?</p> <p>The sites in question are: </p> <p><a href="http://www.sophiemcelligott.com" rel="nofollow">Link 1</a> (this was intended to be the only domain) <a href="http://www.sophiemcelligott.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Link 2</a> (this was setup only when original domain was blocked)</p> <p>These domain are new, never been used for spamming or mail. I have checked all the blacklists I could possibly search and have not found anything that indicates problems.</p> <p>It really does seem that there is something in the configuration of the site that is causing it to be blocked. Does anyone have any idea or experience in this??</p>
