On the back of other horrific experiences with BlogAds, today I noticed that the management site has completely collapsed. Now, when someone click the advertise here link on my blogs, they are presented with a Bad Gateway error (shown below). I've decided to remove most of my BlogAds widgets and likely FeedBurner as well. Both ad platforms seem to be degrading very quickly.

For the last few days, I've been in a frustrating email exchange with the Google AdSense support team. When I tried to convert my account to Google Accounts, it failed. They told me I had to convert my existing AdWords account to Google Accounts first. I did this, but nothing changed. They then told me I had to remove my AdWords account from my Google Accounts, as this was causing a problem. I told them they were the ones that told me to do this in the first place. They replied again, this time informing me I had two AdWords accounts using my Google Accounts and I had to delete the second one. WTF? I'm beginning to wonder if Google's excessive growth has led them to hiring some real winners. Three emails, three different stories and now I'm having more problems than when I started.
