I have never seen this before, but google is completely out of action. No adsense ads, no admanager, no home page. All gone. And for the last half hour or so at least. 10:50 GMT+1
It's the commies! I mean, Arabs, I mean Chinese, I mean left wing radicals, I mean.......... who is the bad guy currently?
Or maybe they just went broke?
What will life be like without google? How will I cope?
Good Morning Mark! Better said good day to you, 6:30 Am for me... Google was acting strange last night for me too. (about midnight my time) It was telling me it couldn't open my request because of a possible virus... I was trying to see where my hub on cream cheese making was. I'll check it again. zs
Nothing wrong here, I've been using my igoogle page excessively for the past few hours and had no troubles.
I seriously doubt Google could "be down" with all their data centres etc.
Most likely a country/ISP specific problem.
Is this a War of the Worlds remake Mark?
Hope you have not lost your account!!
It's the cream cheese makers - I knew there would be a new bad guy.
Google seems to be working okay now Mark. The Cream cheese makers? The new bad guys?
That is so sad but if Ewe say so it must be a 'Fetacomplis'
Yes, it is back here also - As Junkster said, perhaps it was just the local data center.
I don't think it was a localised problem, Mark. I had serious problems loading my Google homepage around the time that you were experiencing problems. It lasted for more than half and hour.

Despite the fact that my traffic in that time span is up from 500 views a day to 5400 views a day. Wtf? Apparently hubber score is useless. Oh and my average hub score is up in that same span of time too.

After reading another info packed hub from Mark Knowles I note he recommends not using the revenue sharing feature of sites such as Shetoldme and snipsly as your adsense code will leave a 'footprint' for google to see you are creating your own backlinks.See: ...

What does 'unacceptable content' in reply to a Google AdSense application mean?In reply to my application to Google AdSense, I got an automated reply stating that a partial review was over and I'd be informed later after the full review, whether my HP page was approved or not. Then, I got an email...
