Why Does Google Adwords Shut Down For Maintenance?
Posted by Al Scillitani on March 7, 2008 – 9:57 amIn my Adwords account I see a message, “On March 8, 2008, AdWords system will be unavailable from approximately 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM Eastern Time due to system maintenance. Please note that your campaigns will continue to run normally during this short downtime. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
I wrote about this before, but have never resceived a clear answer. I do not understand why, with Googles technology, employees, and $$, that they cant complete maintenance/updates without becoming “unavailable.” I also do not know why they need to complete the update in the middle of the day on Saturdays. Why not at 1am to 5am EST?
Can anyone give some insite?

They can’t get people to come in at that time because the cafeterias are not open.
People come into work on Sat and Sun to feed their brood at the awesome google cafeterias.
seriously….

Actually, it has something to do with the adserving system
