Russell Beattie RETURNS

Russell Beattie is back, with an account of all the hoops he had to jump through after his blog fragged the server he was on. Ouch. He's pretty pissed off at his old ISP now, as they shut him down without a word and barred him from accessing his files, preventing him from doing anything to fix what was wrong.

"I know that Google just changed their algorithms, so Google Bombing doesn't count as much, but I'm hoping that'll still have an effect because CWI Hosting is the worst isp on Earth."
Amusingly enough, a Google search for cwi hosting brings up CWI Hosting - Reviews at Web Hosting Ratings. Maybe it would be more effective to point your links there - that's a page that deserves as much PageRank as it can get ;-)
