AWA's Alerts

[AdWordsAdvisor]

Hi all,

My apologies for the late breaking alert. However, I trust that a late alert is at least marginally better than no alert at all. ;)

That said, please note the following, from our tech team.

The pages under the 'My Account' tab will be unavailable tonight, Friday March 17th, from 7:00 to 10:00 pm PST for system maintenance. You'll still be able to log into your accounts during this time, but you won't be able to view invoices, change your billing address, or update your credit card during this maintenance period. Rest assured, however, that your campaigns will continue to run normally.

As always, we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I do wish I could link to the online resource where such alerts are published as a matter of routine, but I may not do so within WebmasterWorld guidelines.

No doubt you all have seen this message at the top of your Campaign Summary page - but in case you haven't it's worth posting here, as a heads-up:

On March 24, 2006, AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM Pacific Time due to system maintenance. Please note that your campaigns will continue to run normally during this short downtime. We apologize for any inconvenience.

There was something wrong with this maintance. After this maintainance , when you update your credit card in your campaign the payment server is not sycronizing with the adwords server and thus even after you paid off your balance and it ends up being 0, you still get a message saying that campaign is paused because it was not able to process last payment. Furthermore, if your credit card went declined during this period your ads would still be running instead of being paused due for non - payment. I wish there was a way to contact google during weekends for this type of situation like overture
