14 DAY TRIAL // The advertising platform provided by Google, AdWords, is now offering to its users a brand new... bug! Yes, you've read it correctly, AdWords contains a bug that affects the MCC (My Client Center) containing valuable information about your campaigns and accounts. As it is reported in a WebmasterWorld thread, the issue appeared one week ago and although the search giant's representatives said the engineers were working on it, other users still reported the problem.
"I just logged into my client center and my adwords accounts are not showing. I tried to add them back and the system seems to know that they are linked to it, but they aren't listed. My API is still functioning and the individual accounts are all working, but no client center to jump between them. Annoying... Is anyone else seeing this?" the first post of the topic said.
"This is a known issue effecting some advertisers, and engineering is presently at work on a resolution - as a priority. They tell me that you may rest easy that your accounts are still linked, by the way. I certainly apologize for the inconvenience, to those who are effected," the AdWordsAdvisor reported after almost one day.
As you know, AdWords is quite important for many Internet users because it allows them to advertise on the net using the powerful tools provided by Google. However, the Mountain View company wants even more and tries to expand its offering by including the tool in the offline media.
Some time ago, it signed a deal with several newspapers to expand AdWords and include the adverts of a selected number of advertisers into their pages. After a short period of time, Google partnered with multiple US radio stations to create audio ads and play them for numerous US listeners. Recently, the search giant said that it wants to take the advertising straight on the street by placing adverts on the billboards.
