Is Google down?

Something wrong at the plex

[henry0]

Are you able to perform anything with G
on both my machines it hangs forever....

[trillianjedi]

Working fine for me in the UK, but I noticed a few adsensers have been complaining in the AS forum about problems with pages loading.

So could be a portion of their network is down or being upgraded.

Something is wrong...some datacenters and tools are showing WILD info...really weird...something is going down in funky Google-town...

[Shadoze]

I can't get to google search, or adsense. I can't see adsense ads on any pages anywhere, nor can I login to adwords. I was able to get to each once this morning about 20 minutes ago after an hour of nothing, now back to being unable to access anything.

It seems to be very sporadic and dependant on location as 2 of our other offices nearby on differnet networks are seeing everything normally.. When I was able to log in to adsense, impressions and CTR's seemed fairly normal for this time of day.

Thanks all!

I needed to perform some searches and access maps

So glad to hear that I am not alone

thanks for the input

Henry

PS: I'm in the USA

Actually this may be, at least partially, a cookie issue on google's end.. if I clear cookies, I can get to google.com but it hangs when performing a search, if I clear cookies again, I can do a search and get results, but can't do another search, if I clear cookies again, I can once again do another search. This seems to be repeatable at least on google search.

I have this problem when I log into Google webmasters - have done for months but assumed it was my PC - though its only Google I have the problem with.

I cleared all cookies and tried again, etc...same thing...very weird stuff going on at Google...funny thing is...both of the sites that I have coming up for a certain keyword are gone ONLY for that keyword though...others see nornmal AND the tools I use show normal...MUST be something either in the toolbar OR cookies the way I am seeing this...

[circusboy]

Everything works fine for me - I'm in Canada, but use google.com. Using FF and do NOT have the G toolbar.

[puchscooter]

In Maine I have search back up only in IE7(within the last hour), not FF or Opera.
mail. and news. and base. are not working in anything. I can get to my gmail login but no further. Will keep you all posted when it comes back...Tried the cookie dump but can't do any searches in FF, though I can get to the front page fine

I can also say that Analytics stats are stuck at 9am this morning for me. They should be at 2pm by now based on the last month of using it.

So I would say something is going on.

I have Analytics stuck at 09:00 UTC - around seven hours late.

Just noticed that my google.com dc has been switched. Also my hits from google are way down. msn is beating them today.

[tarheel2002]

I've been unable to access Google or see AdSense on pages for the past few hours. Coincidentally I can't see any ads served by doubleclick.net either.

On a hunch, I downloaded a trial version of anonymizer and turned it on... I can get Google just fine. Turn it off and can't access the sites anymore. Could the network be blocked for some reason?

here near Boston, I can't get google.com or adwords to load - but I can get google.ca just fine.

Also can't click on any adwords ads in google.ca.

also noticing when I load pages with google analytics on them, they seem noticeably slower, with the browser message bar displaying "waiting for google-analytics.com...".

<online datacenter tool> working fine - no substantial mismatches in the few datacenters I checked out.

With <the online datacenter tool> the results I saw (page count, ranking) are eerily close. Anyone else having a fair size PageRank fluctuation (between 0-5- and 7) too? Even Google's own PR goes between 0 and 8, then 10. Strange goings on I must say. Anyone figure out a workaround to log into Gmail?

Cleared my cookies and I was able to get to the Google homepage (not personalized) but could not log into Gmail, or conduct any searches.

I haven't tried on IE7 yet, only in FF.

[puchscooter]

Back up in Maine, just like it never happened :)

[chewy]

Back happening in Boston too.

Your link is on hold :)

This discussion is temporarily on hold pending administrative review.
This simply means there was something about the post worth reviewing before public viewing.
It could also mean work is being performed on the thread or forum.

[g1smd]

Yeah, but you still read the title?

I was also in Boston area and until 5 PM everything was as reported earlier. However, all is normal now. I couldn't see any ads on any of my websites till 5 PM - but when I check the adsense stats, it is slightly better than most days. So either I am getting big jump in traffic or the problem was very localized to some computers. Weird though!

CT (USA - Eastern time 5.52pm) I am back in business!

And here's some news:

Server Failure Knocks Some Google Users Off Line
Our good buddies at IDG News Service report that the failure of a DNS (domain name system) server at Comcast caused problems for some Web surfers in the northeast section of the U.S. today, making several Web sites, including Google, inaccessible.

The server failure caused connectivity problems for a "few hours," said Jeanne Russo, a Comcast spokeswoman. By late Tuesday, the broadband provider had rerouted traffic to other servers, she said.

Well, one thing I can also note is that I have no Google Analytics stats from 11am to 4pm yesterday. (UK).
