Google Adsense Website is temporarily unavailable -“http://www.google.com/errors/asfe/system_down.html”

It’s Good Friday, April 10, 2008, 2:00 PM here in the Philippines. I checked out Google adsense to view my report on how my blog is doing on pay-per-click as I have not login to it for three days now. However I noticed that the Google adsense site it down. When you go to their site, you will be directed to this URL:

“http://www.google.com/errors/asfe/system_down.html”

And the homepage says that:

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

Actually I have also experienced this kind of Google adsense site down before, but after a few hours it had resumed back to normal. I Google this issued and realized that several people also experienced this situation. Some of them said that this maintenance is regularly done by Google team on weekends. Other adsense users are worried that their PPC stats will be affected by these series of maintenance. But Google team stated that this maintenance will not affect the PPC stats of their clients, although maintenance is currently done.

And oh, I just realized to go to the Google Adsense blog. So I went there and here is their post with regard to this issue…

Apr 9, 10:55pm PDT: We’re currently experiencing an issue with our ad system, and so publishers will be unable to log in to their AdSense or Google Ad Manager accounts. Ad serving has not been affected, and our engineers are working to resolve the issue. We’ll update you when this has been resolved, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

I have stumbled on the web and find out that Google adsense was also down last February 21, 2009. I hope that Google adsense team will put a clear reason on the page error and not just a message that says “our site is temporarily unavailable” or perhaps they can put a link to their advisory post on their blog since not all publishers know this.

BTW, readers can visit Adsense blog at www.adsense.blogspot.com
