Nothing Cumbria UK. Why is he Adsense sight down SO often?

Come on guys this was an announced maintenance period.

> Come on guys this was an announced maintenance period.

When/where was it announced? Thanks.

There has been more than a bit of AdSense instability since this past Wednesday.

I would agree with that however what amazes me is their audacity in trying to pretend that nothing is wrong...do they think that we're school children with absolutely no experience nor intelligence?

No offence to kids meant here I can't think of a better description right now for their naivety...I find it frustrating trying to "work" with people who won't tell the truth.

Oh, and down north-east UK.

Hi Guys,

The Adsense site is down ... again. This is getting weird. Adwords maintenance is not the cause I guess because then the Adsense website itself would not be down. I just cannot access the Adsense website which points to a very serious problem with their infrastructure (but hey, if they can run Google, they can certainly run the Adsense site) or to something malicious (DOS attack maybe?)

@david_uk

This has been lasting too long. Please name it. It's your turn ;)

The Saturday maintenence has been routinely announced for many weeks now, I suspect ASA just forgot this time. But other than the lack of an announcement this week is just like all the others.

I don't doubt that this may be true for some, but I've noticed no instability and have been very attentive to my AdSense account this week.

There was a funny outage yesterday morning, followed in my case by a record day :)

Not working in Houston, Texas either.

> The Saturday maintenence has been routinely announced for many weeks now,

Is that what this is? I thought those only happen occasionally and when they do, they start at 10:00AM (PST).

I do wish I had recorded all these maintenence outages in my diary but they seem to have become a Saturday fixture.

'But other than the lack of an announcement this week is just like all the others.'

I've just done a search on WebmasterWorld for 'adsense system maintenance' and they have occurred on 23/09/2006, 26/08/2006, 29/07/2006 and 24/06/2006. So I feel the term 'week' is incorrect.

An official comment from ASA would be nice.

Here you go:

A quick overview and you can see they usually start at 10:00AM - that's not what seems to be happening here.

I don't know what time this outage began but I think it's too soon to panic.

> I don't know what time this outage began but I think it's too soon to panic.

No panic here - just not willing to buy this "outage" as a scheduled event as some are asserting.

It's back again. Can't see any changes at first glance.

Yep it's back. A true stonker of a day too!

Back in uk - average day...

Whenever AdWords goes down for maintenance, AdSense seems to go down too. They're probably too interlinked for changes to one not affect the other. So it might be that they have to take AdSense down even though they weren't making any changes, because they were doing something to AdWords. And vice versa.

Back on for me too. Yeah today's earnings suck! Yesterday was great though... anyone see any correlations with the maintenance outages and a poor earning day?

Today is looking way below average for me as well, I really wonder if there's a correlation.

Back here as well... hopefully we'll see a click/stat dump... seems to be well behind of what would be expected.

40% Down than expected.
Hope it will update soon.

Traffic, clicks, or epc?

Clicks are down, my traffic is normal.

Earnings much lower than normal here also

traffic and clicks lower than normal for some channels.

Earnings are el steeenko here in pennsylvania.

It's possible it's normal fluctuation but I am hoping for a click-dump

Madsense is down.

don't know if it was down the last eight hours in malaysia. was zzzzzzzzz so it didn't make me go maaad!
