Along those lines, I wanted to mention that, today, for a period of three hours or so (most likely between 2:00pm and 5:00pm Pacific Time) you may notice that your stats are not updating. The timing mentioned here is estimated, BTW - so please don't set your watch by it. ;)
Stats will be collected as normal during this time, and will then be updated later in the day.
So, bottom line, no stats will be lost - they will just be delayed beyond the usual three hour time frame.
My apology for any inconvenience this may cause, and I hope the advance notice will help to minimize this.

Sure you're not just trying to pad the post count to pass GG?
Never! (Hey. Wait a minute... Good idea!)
guess ya'll are timing your pitstops to refuel and change tires at the same time...
Haha! Yes, we always consult on this sort of thing beforehand... ;)
Ok, on to more serious business. I love having AdSenseAdvisor as a colleague. I've just returned from a meeting to find that ASA sent me an email letting me know that my earlier alert was not entirely correct.
Quoting ASA in the WebmasterWorld AdSense Forum, from a short time ago.:
Just wanted to let you know that tomorrow, July 22, 2005, between approximately 9 PM – 11 PM Pacific Time we will be conducting scheduled AdSense maintenance. During this time, you may not be able to access the ‘My Accounts’ tab of your account.Your earnings will continue to accrue during this timeframe, and will appear in your reports after the maintenance is complete.

I think I remember him saying he owed you a beer when that happened ;)
Guess there's a new Google Post King around.
Doh - You passed GoogleGuy in total posts
Shhhh. Let's keep this just between us. GG is the original, and my mentor as well. Not sure I want him to notice. It seems sort of not-right somehow...
Guess there's a new Google Post King around.
Maybe so in terms of raw numbers. But in terms of building goodwill and taking care of one's community, well, I've got some serious catching up to do still. I kid you not.

Per the posts farther above, don't forget that you will be unable to login to AdWords from approximately 9:00 to 11:00 (PDT), due to system maintenance.
That's about two hours from now, as I write...

GG may be the original, but you are over here where some serious money is being made. Adwords is a goldmine.

Want to change? AdWordsRunner?
Recently a number of advertisers have had difficulty seeing their ad in the expected position, while searching on their own keywords. We have reviewed several reported cases of this occurrence, and have now further tuned the algo in order to prevent this occurrence in most cases.

Yeah, I've got a little identity crisis going on, from another Forum on which I also post. Believe me, I make the same mistake there too.
AWA, does this mean the ads will now actually *be* in the positions we expect, or only that we, the account owner, will *see* them in those positions when *we* check (i.e., a form of cloaking)?
They'll actually *be* - that is, in so far as this is possible, given that a fixed (or assured) position has never been a part of the AdWords program.
BTW, I am somewhat reluctant to bring this thread to the top of the page again, since I don't have an actual alert to report. And for this reason, in the future, I think that I'd prefer to not answer follow-on questions in this thread. Instead, I'd request that they be asked in other threads.
I'd like to reserve the 'AWA's Alerts' thread for alerts alone, so that when it goes to the top of the page, it will only mean one thing; an alert.
Thanks in advance. ;)
