Yesterday morning I went to sign in to my AdWords account and couldn’t. It was down. I hadn’t heard the news that all accounts would be shut down temporarily for maintenance. I guess that happens from time to time. Evidently, once a month:
“AdWords system maintenance typically occurs on the second Saturday of each month during the above times – although in May it is planned to occur one week later than usual, on May 17th, due to Mother’s Day,” he wrote.
That makes sense. Why should we expect Google AdWords not to need maintenance. Every now and then, if it involves computers at all, it should break or need repairs. Preventive maintenance is better than no maintenance at all. It looks like I’ll have to mark May 17th on my calendar for Google AdWords maintenance.
