Google: More Downtimes Soon!

Every once in a while, Google cooks system maintenances in order to verify the solutions it owns and if everything works by the plan. However, the search giant announces this period with one week before because some of the functions implemented into certain products might become unavailable. This time, the shut down periods concern AdWords, the advertising platform and the famous tracking system Analytics.

According to a blog post published on the Inside AdWords page, on Saturday July 14th, AdWords will be closed for approximately 4 hours.

"While you won't be able to log into your accounts during this time, your campaigns will continue to run as usual. AdWords system maintenance typically occurs on the second Saturday of each month during the above times. We'll continue to update you here as we always have, but you may want to take note of our intended dates and times to help you plan for any scheduled downtimes further down the road," it is mentioned in the notification.

If the advertising platform is scheduled to be closed on Saturday, the maintenance period of Analytics might take a little bit longer as the Mountain View giant says the weekend might bring some trouble for the product's fans.

"This weekend, many of you had trouble creating and logging into your new Google Analytics Account. This was due to a temporary server outage which has now been resolved. If your account was successfully created, you will be able to log in now. If you are still unable to log in you will need to create the account again," the official announcement reads.

Google knows it is very important to keep the solutions up and without glitches because the consumers are always looking for the most stable solution that can satisfy their needs. However, the search giant is somehow forced to prepare those maintenance periods in order to check if something goes wrong and, if the answer is yes, to repair the problems before they have a big impact over the users.
