This has happened before (here and here) since Google took over Feedburner and still Google didn’t learn anything of this? Just check the images below.

Lets see if this comes back up tomorrow.

This isn’t the first time when  Feedburner has  provided wrong stats for my feeds. Last time many big bloggers were hit when Google acquired feedburner and the RSS feed stats for most of them changed to zero!

Later on again the problem came up when many bloggers complained that their Google Reader stats were not being counted and this resulted in their feed stats falling down but luckily I was on the safer side in that second glitch.

Now it looks like Google had remembered that they had spared me the last time and so this time my feed burner stats have gone down by over a 100 just because my email subscribers aren’t being counted. Irritating and true!

Any of you face the same problem or is it just me?

I don’t know if this happened to everyone but yes it has happened to many and I am also the victim! I was shocked today to see that my Google Feedburner count is ZERO?

I have personally also registered to my feeds just to keep a check daily if the feeds are working and the feed seemed to work currently too. But I do not know what on earth Google has done that killed all my readers? Give me my readers back…please!

My current readers are ZERO and readers for comments are also ZERO. Yesterday they were 81 and 1 respectively!

It has been few days when I shifted to wordpress from blogger and I had the fear that I might loose my feedburner readers but thanks to labnol feedburner faq I did not loose even one of my readers!

But poof Google wont let me sleep tonight I guess! I hope they work on this very soon.

Did you also loose your readers? Do reply in comments.

UPDATE: 3 hours have passed since I wrote this article and Google seemed to have fixed the bug. I have my readers back. Living secondlife

Tired searching for your search queries in Google.com? No I wont ask you to start using another search engine, just use another domain “XXXDISC.NET“. SearchEngineJournal has a mention of this website xxxdisc.net which takes you to the Google homepage and you can easily do the normal searches as you perform in Google.

The search results are same and the page also looks to be almost same. The author doest not seems to run any malicious script with this page. It just seems that he used some tricky programming to get data out of Google pages and let users do Google search from his website until he actually comes up with real content for the site. And you can understand what the real content will be with that name xxxdisc.net! Even the same Google Ads are being displayed in this website as displayed in Google.com.

The only thing which makes me curious is how come Google left a hole that anyone can easily create mirrors of there search engine in any domain. I would love to hear the explanations.

With the increase in size of any organization the number of bugs creeping into it also increases. Bugs are not part of Microsoft only, recently softpedia came up with an article that states how few Adword clients of Google faced an unusual situation where there Adwords account was deleted without any prior notice.

“Thank you for your email. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve had trouble with your AdWords account. We’ve identified a known technical issue affecting a limited number of accounts. Our engineers are currently working to solve the problem and hope to reach a resolution shortly. Also know that I have reactivated your account,” it was mentioned in the email notification according to Search Engine Roundtable.

A few AdWords members said they were not even notified about the problems and, after several days of unavailability, the advertising platform returned to the past settings. “My account is live again. i never received any notice of what happened or even that it happened. Just logged in and the red box was gone,” Powdork, a senior member of WebmasterWorld, wrote.

This is not the first time when the search giant encounters serious glitches with the users’ accounts and accidentally removes some of them. In the past, it was reported that a lot of Gmail accounts became inaccessible as the Mountain View company disabled them due to some problems with the technology.

However, AdWords is a little bit more important for most of the customers because it works with money and some of them might be really affected by the unavailability period caused by the service’s issues.
