Don't link google with YouTube or Blogger

I advise everyone not to link your youtube account with google/blogger with the same email. I knew I lost my Video site when they deleted my youtube account, but I just realized now I also lost my "Old Top 40 Surveys" site. It must have been on the same gmail I used. So If your youtube site get's deleted, you lose all your blogger sites under the same email. I learned the hard way. I really worked hard on that site. Think I'll start another one, but on wordpress. Some of my top 40 surveys were still on picasa web albums, that's where all the photo's go from blogger blogs.
