How to unblock OpenDNS??

@ Deepak,

Like many other domains, mine too was not categorized, but wrong categorization yesterday made my site lose traffic. And traffic lost is not that great as the time duration was just around 8 hours. And FYI, I never had an Alexa below 35k.

Nope..

AFAIK as I know, recently your alexa was about 25-30K (don’t remember exactly)

(About opendns & Alexa) I thought when someone with open DNS opens ur blog and its blocked, then it may reduce traffic of this domain and hence decrease the alexa ranking..!

But I guess, I was wrong

@ Pramodh,

I guess that was a problem local to your computer. For my website it was a mistake of one of them which is now corrected.

@ Deepak,

What is the relation between OpenDNS and Alexa? Alexa is due to traffic and OpenDNS is just a DNS service…

Good to know your problem is now resolved..

But is it the open dns thing that brought your domain alexa to 38K??
