Service - Is your site blocked in China?

The China Herald starts today a new service. Starting from 100 euro per test, we will check whether you site in blocked in China and supply you a detailed analysis of the results. Find out what really is happening with your site in China, from leading experts on filtering and blocking. Write to the test team of the China Herald and prevent worldwide embarrassment. Send you money directly to our paypal account (and do not forget to include your url!)
"There is clearly a need for this kind of service," says chief-editor Fons Tuinstra of the China Herald. "Just anybody can claim they are being blocked and are then unmasked as imposters looking for publicity. We can find out what is really happening."
A comment by Ralph on Living in China: Although I don't contest findings that China is blocking certain blogs, i find your statement that "it's hard to tell whether an outage is due to blocking/censorship or mere server problems" key to any discussion about Net censorship. Servers and Net connections are a mess in China regardless of broadband speed or computer quality. I worked for an offshore company (name omitted to protect the ignorant) that insisted for more than a year China was blocking its Web site. Finally customer complaints prompted an in-house investigation that found, guess what, technical problems.
