How do you raise a web site's traffic? Try to ban access.

Internet service providers in Cambodia are blocking 'opposition' web sites. (Latest details can be seen on Twitter: http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23bannedKH and Facebook: http://on.fb.me/dMrWE7 )

And now that great amounts of interest are being focused on a small number of sites, I can't help but think they could ALL do with some improvement. There are other things I would rather spend my time and attention on.

Yesterday (January 19) - starting at about 10am in Cambodia, web users noticed Blogger's blogspot was unavailable from internet service providers (ISPs) Ezecom and Metphone.

Much discussion followed, and you can see some links and articles here: http://www.expat-advisory.com/forum/asia/cambodia/phnom-penh-pub-expats-expats-cambodia/ki-media-bites-dust-do-many-blogspot-blogs

While this news made the cover of the Phnom Penh Post and Cambodia Daily, there are no conclusive answers yet from the ISPs or the government.

I'll continue to update these notes as news appears. Ongoing Twitter discussion here: http://twitter.com/search?q=%23bloggerKH
