Site maintenance on June 7 at 10am PDT

Labels: Other
By now, our longtime publishers are likely well-versed in our regular maintenance -- so sing along if you know the words: Our engineers will be performing routine site maintenance tomorrow, June 7th, from 10am to 2pm PDT. During these four hours, you won't be able to log in to your account. However, ad serving will not be affected, and your reports will continue to track your earnings as usual.
We've noticed from past comments that many of you are concerned about public service ads (PSAs) or no ads appearing on your sites during the maintenance period. Please be assured that the maintenance does not affect the targeting or delivery of your ads. If you're experiencing difficulty with your ads, we recommend reviewing our Help Center for more information about PSAs, ad relevancy, and why ads may not appear.
If you're not located in the PDT time zone, here's the maintenance start time for a few other cities:
London - 6pm Saturday
Bucharest - 8pm Saturday
New Delhi - 10:30pm Saturday
Manila - 1am Sunday
Sydney - 3am Sunday
Have a great weekend :)

I'm UK-based and my ads stopped showing about four or five hours ago and still aren't working. Looking round the web, I can't see working Adsense adverts *anywhere* - just lots of blank spaces.
Has something gone horribly wrong?
Thanks,

Reports are showing visitors in the thousands and adsense is showing I had 250 or so impressions today and only $1.81. Are you sure it didn't affect the ads?
Thanks

I am also seeing low numbers... the reports are working but the numbers are off... are the reports slightly behind?

My numbers are much lower than they usually are by this time (3pm). Is Google just behind in reporting, or are we screwed for today?

I average 50,000 page impressions a day and 2500 clicks. Today I've had 3,500 page impressions and 449 clicks.
I was the same data it had 5 hours ago.
I'm not sure it didn't affect the ads.
Thanks

I believe it is indeed simply showing delayed data - which has happened before.
Thank you, Google guys, for the advance warning!

Hi! Same thing here: my reports are showing thousands of visitors, as expected, but Adsense is showing just hundreds of impressions... and obviously, earnings are very very low.
Hope they fix it.
Thanks for the warning anyway ;)

I've just woken up here in S.E. Asia to see that my page impressions and earnings are way way down on their normal sort of level, but my own separate site stats show an actual slight increase in visits and page views over the same 24 hour period last week. I hope it's the AdSense reporting that's lagging, and not a real drop. It would be helpful if someone from Google gave some feedback at this point.....

I know this may not be the correct place for this , but I would like to thank Google for the donorschoose.org gift last year which I put towards an inner city school project in my area.
I know it is a while ago but I have just recieved a thank you note from the teacher as the project is in place and feel it was a great way for me through your generosity to make a small diference

Will understand if this does not get posted as off topic but just wanted to say thanks please pass it on to whoever had the idea

I'm having only 15% of my usual earnings.
I am making around 10$ a day, and on 7/6/08 I made only 1.5$.
No change in page impressions.
sad...

Not sure if the maintenance is completely done now, but I can tell that my ad serving and reporting was affected.
I experienced 1/2 of my normal impressions and clicks yesterday and today looks the same.
Is anyone else still experiencing trouble today (Sunday 6/8)?
The maintenance has never been a problem before, but this time it looks like it has really affected my sites. Hopefully it will be over by Monday.

I have had PSA ads for 9 days now. I have not changed my script in anyway, PSA only shows on index page, and no otherchild pages. What can I do. I don't see any keyword issues.

Hi,
I didn't notice anything wrong at all, likely because I am new to this.
It appears many of the posters here commented on their numbers not being what they should. Is there some kind of targeting scheme or secret that a newbie should know to optimize my effectiveness on this?
Sound's like there could be substantial value I'm missing out on being new.
Any comment or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
