Google AdSense problems
A planned update to the Google AdWords/AdSense publishing system did not apparently go to plan, with the AdSense arm of the publishing giant offline an extra 4 hours than expected.
It was reported that Google would be updating it's AdWords interface, as reported at SEW in Google Changing AdWords Interface. It was indicated that Google's AdWords interface would be unavailable until 8am GMT.
However, the AdSense interface - the publishing arm of Google's AdSense - was inaccessible in the UK until almost 12:30pm..
An error page earlier offered the following message in multiple languages:
https://www.google.co.uk/adsense/system_down.html
System Outage
AdSense is temporarily down due to system maintenance until approximately 12 a.m. PST (US) on Feb. 26. We apologize for any inconvenience.
However, this was soon replaced by a plain 404, rather than Google's default 404 page, which simply declared:
Not Found
The requested URL %2Fadsense%2Fsystem_down.html was not found on this server.
Google AdSense is only just accessible again, but it remains to be seen if problems with the changeover persist.
