How long is AdWords going to be down?

[TexasTwister]

I haven't been able to access my account for over a week. I went to the main Google site and all adwords urls are down. For example go to http://www.google.com/ads/ and click the top AdWords link. It appears anything that starts with https://adwords.google.com is down. Anyone know what is going on?

P.S. The thing that gets me is that I cannot change my ads and yet they still appear.

Well, this is bizarre. I called my main office and they can access the pages, however I tried from 3 difference PCs in my office and all of them get the "page cannot be displayed" message.

It works for me!

I have NEVER seen this before. What would cause us not to be able to access a URL when others can? Is it my ISP? It can't be client software because all 3 of our PCs have different software and antivirus. Router maybe? This is odd, I never had problems accessing adwords in the past.

Works fine for me.

Do all 3 computers have Norton Internet Security or some other version of Norton like the firewall???

For a long time, I couldn't access the Alexa site, although the rest of the world could.

Turns out I was using the site blocking function in Spybot and Alexa is one of the sites they block.

Is it possible that you have some software somehow blocking Adwords? That would be my guess, and something for you to check.

Sounds like this is an issue with the individual machines or the network, if they are networked together, as I can assure you that AdWords is not down. ;)

This sounds a lot like an Internet Security software, or spyware issue to me, as well.

In addition to checking the above, as suggested by others, you may also want to try clearing your cache. And if you've been getting to the login page from a bookmark in the past, then delete that bookmark and try going direct to adwords.google.com.

I hope you are in soon!
