It may sound unbelievable! How could Google FAIL? Well, the fact is that Google has been pathetic during the last few weeks at least in India.

Google Ad servers have crashed causing the otherwise omnipresent Google Ads to disappear from millions of web pages viewed in India. The situation looks critical as on 11.03.2010, with very long breakdown extending several hours.

During the last few weeks, Google the most widely used search engine which makes money by publishing content relevant text and image ads in millions of websites has been very erratic in serving Ads in India. Publishers, find Blank spaces in all websites where Ads should appear. The problem continues for hours before Ads reappear.

Incidentally, the problem do not seem to be due to shortage of Ad inventory. What is happening is total blackout during which time no Google Ad appears in millions of pages viewed in India, across all websites.

Its surprising that Google has not been able to attend to the issue though the problem has been simmering for weeks. For More:
