Why is Overture always unavailable?
April 3rd, 2006It’s as if Overture can read my mind! Just as I try to login to reduce my Overture budget due to a lack of positive results, the system is unvailable. Actually I would estimate I see this message about 20% of the time I try to log in and it’s a bit disconcerting.
The other stupid thing is that there is no message on the home page warning you that the system is unavailable - you are only told this once you have successfully logged in. It’s as if they are hiding the fact they are unreliable from potential advertisers who may not yet have an account. Plus it is a little scary since it appears you are logged in with no way to “log out” of your account - you’re only presented with an image telling you in 6 different languages that they are unavailable. I have been trying for the last hour with the same result. WTF? Maybe I should just ratchet my budget down to zero and throw EVERYTHING to Google?
