Any one notice that there are no adwords results in google right now.  It must be great if you come up in the serps, especially if your on page 1.

I'm seeing figures for page impressions in my AdWords control page. I'm seeing visits coming from the ads too.

Maybe ads are not being served as often as before?

I can't tell you, but I'm definately looking at evidence which points to the contrary of your observations.

According to Google (on my AdWords page):

On January 27, 2006, AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM Pacific Time [?] due to system maintenance. Please note that your campaigns will continue to run normally during this short downtime. We apologize for any inconvenience.

perhaps it's that -- or perhaps something went wrong (oops, wrong cable...)

Yeah, I've seen that message too Softplus, I'm on Pacific time zone, so I should see that tonight.

What keywords were you searching on, gzlatin?

I tried a bunch of keywords, starting with "test" (original, huh) -- now it works again. Adsense was displayed elsewhere without a hitch, oh well - I guess nobody is safe from having to do a quick Friday-evening fixup-job, not even Googles engineers :-)

Seemed fine when I tried it, but maybe they broke something when coding / testing their new ad formats...

Looks like google is going to be offering interstitial ads, pop ups, floating pesky ads and other lovely ads most people detest.
