blogdex discrimination

I'm almost sure that blogdex has dropped out my weblog and possiblly as many other Persian weblogs as possible from it's database. The reason could be that they don't want their list includes non-english links that neither them nor the viewers understand them. Although I know that my weblog is phisically there, since blogdex says it is in the system already. But I can't see my weblog's name in the citations list for the links that I've pinted to.

Whatever blogdex might say, I've found your site via InstaPundit: a link on that site will probably get you more viewers than any other. Thanks, Prof.!

Freddie, I'm not sure if thats your site or if you are just making a comment about it. Seems rather eclectic. Not really in good taste, but I guess the title gives that away before anyone ever visits. If you are complaining, let me ask, why would you visit a site about "goodshit" anyway? If you were trolling for visitors, I doubt you'll get many second visits from people that visit through this page.

Maybe it's a good idea to suggest all Persian-language bloggers to set an English title for their sites. Have you (Hossein Derek Shan) contacted them about this problem? Are you sure it's only the language problem?

One other thing I forgot, even though my site is supposed to be in Blogdex, it doesn't come up in a search either, and it's English. I think they are just over run right now. Blogging is quite the rage in the U.S. lately.

For what it's worth, I just did a Blogdex URL search with the word "blogspot" and got lots of non-english sites, but they were Spanish, French, etc. Perhaps it is sites with Farsi, Chinese, etc with characters that don't come up in a search. If I do a search that returns a Farsi site I'll let you know.
