Google AdWords API Breaks Down
Posted by nullbit on September 22, 2005, 6:44 pm
As reported on ThreadWatch, Google's AdWords API -- used by publishers to remotely manage AdWords campaigns -- caused some panic among publishers yesterday:
We had had our Google ad rep team do some bulk uploads on Tuesday morning. The system spat out some gook pulling adgroup numbers and inserting them into the tracking code so that by the time it was set all pages were going to error pages... not to the nice 404s that we have redirected but to ISS problem pages that in essence wasted the day's spend (we did get a prompt refund the next day).
Google have since fixed the problems, and explained the cause of the issue on their AdWords API blog
