This is very wrong.
40 minutes, and still 404.
A good "how to degrade your brand value".

Here's the thing: those links work well if you're in the US, but not outside US. Unfortunately, the homepage promo is not geo-restricted to the US.

Try a proxy like hidemyass.com/ .

Good catch..

But as explained above, it would not come to people who are outside U.S.

(Added an update.)

same here... form Switzerland but with google.com as default :-) kind off funny

(Working now... I added an update.)

Promotion is shown here in Finland too and link works,
points to picasa.google.com/learn_more.h ...

But only if using Google.com or google.com/ncr

and there are no localized campaign pages, it appears

Has this been the first ever 404 on Goog homepage. Their QA might be slipping I think and it is a classical case of right hand not talking to the left.

At least it has been fixed very fast.. Good on ya, Google.

A while ago Google was pushing this ad to me about buying Google cycling jersey. Since I bike a lot, I was thinking about getting it, but the website was consistently saying that the item does not exists. At some point I even called big G and ask what is going on.

LegoAndy:

2 questions:
First, where did Google push you the ad?
And second, you called Google, and then what? What did they say?

Oh and BTW, Google doesn't like to be called " The Big G " anymore.. :P
