    What do you so if you have a site focusing on say, China and all is going well untill the ISP in China block access to it.

    Now no one in china can access it.

    So, What can one do to their site to make it viewable to the the chinese people.

    Only thing i can think of is to redirect from http to https and wait for google to crawl the site and update the index...


    Any thoughts?

    Google won't crawl the site in HTTPS.

    Your options:
    1) Tell everybody to jump on a proxy server
    2) Move the site to a different domain
    3) Bribe the senior network admin at the ISP in question

    Try to contact the ISP and see whether you can get them to remove the ban. I know this is hard, but is the best way going forward for long term success.

    What type of content is on your site? Is this possibly a PRC Government block?
