Maintenance this Saturday, May 27

10:00am -- approx. 3:00p.m. PDT

[AdSenseAdvisor]

We'll be performing routine AdSense maintenance on Saturday, May 27, at 10:00am PDT. The maintenance is expected to last for several hours.

As you know, during this time you may not be able to access your account. However, your Google ads will continue to display, and stats and earnings will continue to accrue in your account.

If you're in the U.S., try to enjoy the 3-day weekend!

Thaks AdSenseAdvisor,
Hope this maintenance is easier on us than Rodeo was..
Will it be Twister this time?

[OptiRex]

Good grief, it's only two weeks since Rodeo...are they going to try and make amends to all those who suffered so badly?

[mvander]

Yep, I'll be enjoying the weekend, won't even notice the down time :) (Poor adsense guys have to work.)

[walrus]

Thanks for the heads up!

[Bddmed]

I really hope Twister is 1/Rodeo for me.

[elsewhen]

just bumping this post to the top so everyone is aware that Adsense Maintenance is starting now, for approx 5 hours.

[Green_Grass]

Oh H*ll.. I had just recovered from the last one.. I hope this one is not a bomb....

[Nawaralsaadi]

Oh No!...NOT AGAIN!..we just started getting back to our usual stats..i really hope this time we wont have to go through the pain again!..

[HuhuFruFru]

Hey AdsenseAdvisor,

I really hope that Twister will be like Rodeo. I have no idea what you did at the Rodeo-time, but my eCPM increased massively since that maintenance two weeks ago, in fact the best day I have EVER had on Adsense was May 14th.

Good luck!

[Hobbs]

Now the stats are down,
I guess it is time to concentrate on some production without distractions.
Another difference will be monitoring the site statistics the normal way not through AdSense.

monitoring the site statistics the normal way not through AdSense.

Using Adsense isn't the "normal" way? :)

[alephh]

Huh, again. :-o

I have had strange numbers (*place panic here*) since last update. If this is another ""whats-happening-mess"", it's really starting to take it's toll mentally.

Last time there was maintenance I had couple of extreme low days. Then clicks started to rise but impressions never sort of recovered from that "maintenance". And ads looked couple of days like they were randomly selected for my sites.

Couple of more of these so called ""maintenances"" and I'll be sending google "Internet for Beginners" (anyone want to participate that project) ;-D

[mattg3]

Yapp Rodeo was great :)

[Hobbs]

>it's really starting to take it's toll mentally

Just wait and see..
It could be a change in the interface, a switching to new servers hardware, a server OS update, applying patches, re-installing windows ;-) ... Or Twister!

Let's call it after we see it, no use worrying now.

[dcheney]

Watch out ... if we continue to speculate in the absense of any hard facts we will cease to be webmasters and become ... (gasp) ... reporters ;-)

[Hobbs]

reporters

LOL you will be hearing from my lawyer for spilling a drink on my laptop!

[MediaSpree]

Interesting to note Adwords is down for maintainence as well. Could they be linking the two together to allow us to transfer adsense earnings into our adwords account? (YPN has this feature with overture)

[BillyS]

Bump - just a reminder

[exseo]

The little adsense notifier thingy has disappeared from my firefox status bar.

I'm "Absolut" ly horrified at not being able to check my stats. ;-)

[wmuser]

Does anyone else see it?
[google.com...]

The Google AdSense website is temporarily unavailable. Please try back later.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

[peewhy]

UK - been down about one hour ... as far as I know.

and I was just about to think this is the first time a maintenance notice succeeds.

I should cocoa...or something like that:-)

[wmuser]

Good that its something announced,i though it could be unexpected stuff

[21_blue]

According to the BBC [thespoof.com] the Google Adsense site is down because Google have gone bust. All the click-fraud litigation has finally taken its toll. However, as the aforementioned article suggests, Google are recruiting more employees to manage their outplacement programme. Kenneth Lay is the first appointee, and he'll be overseeing things from his new office (apparently, he says things are looking up and he has a nice view over the courtyard).

Nope. Not a change. Nobody has started a Twister thread yet ;)

[MarkJH]

It's working for me!

Nah, just kidding.

[HowYesNo]

hmm i see only blank page ;)
