Read the Original Post below and you will understand why I am congratulating Google.
Contratulations Google and Thank You, Thank You, Thank You…. for finishing the AdWords maintenance on Saturday!
“On January 13, 2007, AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM Eastern Time due to system maintenance. Please note that your campaigns will continue to run normally during this short downtime. We apologize for any inconvenience”.
Original Post
First, many, many people are reporting fairly severe problems with Google AdWords, AdSense and other mechanisms because of this “emergency” maintenance being performed by Google.
Gotta get on my soap box (being from way back when computers began…lol) and ask the obvious questions…
– 12 hours of maintenance in the middle of the work day?
– Did Google go union on us?
– If it was so critical to do this maintenance, maybe (just maybe) some of the non-union Googlers could have come in and worked during the middle of the night! Hey, we seem to have to work 24 hours a day so why can’t they?
UPDATE: They are doing it again!
On January 13, 2007, AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Pacific Timedue to system maintenance. Please note that your campaigns will continue to run normally during this short downtime. We apologize for any inconvenience.
– I repeat… maybe (just maybe) some of the non-union Googlers could have worked late last night!
