Hi members, I am trying to type "Google Analytics" in Google search. QTel says it is blocked.

What is the reason?

Still I can see it is blocked. I guess some times it works. It is a bug from QTel automated blocking system. By the way if they are blocking this because of the word 'anal', I do not know what to say. Thousands of English words has the phrase 'anal'. Yes probably.

try the follwing words.

*analyzing

*analogy

*analog devices

*analysis

:D all are blocked. Banghead.

Blocking Google Analytics is absolutely absurd - but that's exactly what has been done.

Google Analytics simply helps someone with a website determine how much traffic the website is receiving and why. It has nothing to do with smut, but it is very important for some webmasters - including those in Qatar.

Can't tell you why, but I can tell you Q-Tel blocks nothing in and of itself, they have dedicated companies, IIRC in London doing the blocking business...

probably because Google Analytics clearly shows what kind of smut the internets are mainly for...that's an uneducated guess
