Banned in Asia

This blog is banned in Pakistan -- and perhaps in India, Iran and/or China. Someone has created a mirror site for this blog at a website designed to get around the problem:

Is your blog blocked in India, Pakistan, Iran or China?

If Yes then you can still access your blog anytime using pkblogs free Blog Gateway.

Apparently, the Pakistani government banned all Blogspot blogs earlier this year in the wake of the Danish cartoon controversy. Too many bloggers were running the images and the Musharraf government wanted to deny access to them.

Searching for some of my past posts, I've discovered that a pkblogs.com reference sometimes appears before a direct link to this blog does! Why?

Also, as others have complained, anyone who reads the blog at pkblogs.com faces ads that I don't display. Who profits from those ads?

If people read this blog in Pakistan or one of the other states, does that mean sitemeter doesn't count them?

Incidentally, these questions apply to Duck of Minerva too.
