Hi William,
This is Charbel over at Wikio, the number 1 European news aggregator and blog-indexing website, indexing nearly 200,000 English-language sites. I'm contacting you because I sent you an e-mail last Tuesday and I was wondering if you received it? It was about your blog entering our Literature ranking at number 328. This ranking is one of the new rankings we launched last month.
To those who appear in the rankings we offer a badge that displays your blog's position, which is automatically updated each month. You can go to realclimate.org or baselinescenario.com to see what it looks like. The rankings themselves are calculated using links that appear in blog posts on other sites towards your blog. You can check out the rankings and how they work in full at http://www.wikio.com/blogs/top.
If you want to add this badge, just follow this link http://www.wikio.com/tools/top-blog if you'd prefer, I could just send you the code directly.
I am grateful for this, although clearly my rank is going to suck as it does above since nobody can even FIND my blog now since GOOGLE continues to keep me banned from their listings even though I am clearly a LITERARY/ARTS site and not a porn site. This was due to their bots misinterpreting my sense of play on this site and some conceptualist pranks I pulled here!
Anyone who can help me get reinstated to Google? I would be greatly appreciated.
This really is the worst sort of CENSORSHIP, because it is CENSORSHIP BASED ON BOT MISDETERMINATION OF BLOG/SITE PURPOSE!
ugh!
But I'm happy to be noticed and appreciate the ranking!

I don't think there is anything anyone can do to reinstate your blog to Google. The only thing you can do is wait until the Google Czars review your blog and determine if it's spam or not and then they will add you back to their listings. This happened to another blogger I know and his blog was about spam. Since I write spamoetry, I am thinking about switching to WordPress, too. I don't care about Google indexing me, but I don't want my blog to be taken down.
Hi Angela,
In Google correspondence no one can hear you scream.
I have much worse problems in my life so am using Google in a Kafkaesque gesture of futility substitution.
I think it's a religious impulse Torquemada'ed and snafued.
