Google not working?

I get no serps very odd

[r3ved]

I am getting no listings. It shows a return of 10000 results and I can change between pages, but nothing comes up. Very strange.

I just get an error when I try to log in to google.com in Canada?

[berli]

Logging in from the East Coast of the USA, Google is working fine for me, and has been all morning.

[affiliateguy]

Murphy's Law .... I wait and wait and google won't work, then as soon as I post something it's back working again?

[jatar_k]

google.com in Canada works for me.

The no listings is an interesting glitch though.

This too shall pass. ;)

[Hawkgirl]

I had that exact same problem this morning, while someone else in my office on the same search terms did not.

A minute later the problem went away for me and I've had fine results since.

We chalked it up to "weirdo glitch."

[WebGuerrilla]

We had a similar report last night from a member in Japan. Adwords showing up but no SERPS.

I think they are just testing a new AdWords strategy.

[r3ved]

If that was a new ad words campaign it worked well. I actually clicked an ad word because of it. I also took a screen shot just to prove I wasn't insane.

[Chris_R]

I had several porblems earlier in the day with the page not loading all the way.

[drewls]

The whole www-fi datacenter doesn't appear to be working at all from here. Just server errors.

<edit> not entirely, just more often than not </edit>

Google is now in serious trouble, the results are very slow to show, aka... av/msn days.

Not my pc, msn are now quicker for results, hope it's a blip, but who know's?

[Total Paranoia]

Yup - been seeing slow results for the best part of the day here in the UK. Glad to see others are getting the same, I was just gonna check out my connection and machine.

[tedster]

Don't know if this is related, but I've been noticing an incomplete page load for over a week - the last call to the server on the Google results page doesn't get answered over half the time. This is East Coast US, broadband connection.

I still get all the results, so I never bothered to track it down more exactly.

[steve128]

I think.. aimho, google can get away with showing old data for quite a while, but they will not last long at all if results do not show quickly for joe surfer.

I am now getting to the point of thinking google is completely busted, in the UK you could say they are now taking the P.ss

It won't take long for "joe surfer" to realise

[GoogleGuy]

Hmm, I haven't heard any reports about this. Have any other users seen this happening? Is this on www or www2/www3?

[steve128]

I have a broadband connection, somtimes I've had to hit the stop button, then I get half page results...dunno if its what you meant?

[steve128]

GG, on all,
but I see www the most problamatic

[GoogleGuy]

Interesting, I'll ask around about this. I haven't heard anyone mention problems about this. If anyone wants to mentions specifics about their connection, let me know.

[steve128]

Right now, no bother very fast...but it was earlier

[steve128]

Hey GG, the worst case scenario is google being slow, -;

A blip I hope... for a moment I thought I was at msn...the wait...and then the results -;

[GodLikeLotus]

No problem here in the UK and I have not seen anything wrong all day. All 9 datacenters seem fine.

[GoogleGuy]

Stuff like this is really tough, because the majority of the time the problem is upstream (slow ISP, slow connections on the internet in general, problems with the user's machine, ...). However, I'll ask folks to be sensitive to this just in case. We'll keep our eyes peeled on our end. :)

[affiliateguy]

I pretty sure I was getting a 501 error message when trying to visit the regular google home page at google.com

[r3ved]

It is fixed now, but this is what I was seeing http ://216.55.144.26/google.jpg (sorry for the url if that is not allowed please let me know)

[cindysunc]

saw a little of the same thing this morning

[shaadi]

I don't know about www but surely I see every now-and-then Google switches to that old directory (Feb-March data) and after few minutes back to its not-so-old-but-still-very-old directory (March-April data).

I am in India and browse the directory at [directory.google.com...]

This is happening since yesterday night, I posted about it in Google News Forum [webmasterworld.com], you guys kept my post on a hold and never posted it - mods what's wrong with you guys?

[cindysunc]

"This is happening since yesterday night, I posted about it in Google News Forum, you guys kept my post on a hold and never posted it - mods what's wrong with you guys?"

shaaid having same problems with something else that is happening right now, for me all the pages that were lost are now back in, not freshbot tho, seems like they added the c rawl back in.

[drewls]

Google has been acting VERY strangely for the past few days (even compared to Dominic standards). The mods here don't seem to want people to talk about that, which I think is a shame, because I'd really like the insight of certain members into what's going on here. I know what I think, based on my experience, but I'd sure like to hear what others have to say.

Google has been acting VERY strangely with me too, here is my story [webmasterworld.com]:

What would you do if because of some bug in Google’s search software you were loosing all your business? While some one else just for doing nothing enjoying it?

What will you do if Google shows our content in title & description of it listings, while load some other page and not yours?

What will you do if Google gives all your back links, PageRank to some other domain?

In any way you put it - Google is misleading people searching for our services, showing our company’s listings while loading a third party URL. It had replaced our listings with other site URL.

My listings are changed to some other URLs. What can I do - it’s totally out of my hands if Google carries out such manipulation? Is there anyway I can stop this?

shaadi, I already posted in your thread. :)

r3ved, that screenshot turned out to be really helpful. From knowing that you got a results estimate and ads, plus the approximate time you did the query, the production folks were able to narrow it down to one machine which wasn't getting all the data pushed to it that it should have gotten. That little CPU has been herded safely back into the fold. And now we'll be able to write a new test to make sure that machines don't stray from the fold in that way again. So thanks for the report. :)
