Maybe they're launching today... AdWords appears to be down at the moment. It's redirecting to this page when you try and sign in:
http://www.google.com/errors/awfe/system_down.html |
AdSense is down too:
http://www.google.com/errors/asfe/system_down.html
No warnings regarding scheduled maintenance on the Inside AdWords or Inside AdSense blogs either...
[Edit – AdSense *was* down – it's back now though.] |
Google AdWords Editorial Guidelines for Audio Ads:
Ad Length and Time Use
* Ad length cannot exceed 30 seconds.
* Ad cannot contain lengths of silence. The ad content must take up the full length of the ad.
* One company may promote multiple products during an ad spot, but multiple businesses can not advertise within the same ad spot (i.e. no time segmentation).
Sound Volume and Quality
* Audio must be encoded at volume less than or equal to +4 dB.
* Your sound quality must be clear and words must be understandable

After login into audio ads I got the default construction page. I went back and checked my Google account page I now have the link for Audio Ads added |
<<No Non-Commercial Ads
* Ads must advertise a product or service. We do not allow ads that are not commercial in nature.>>
Is that more restrictive than Google AdSense? |
"Stay tuned, we'll be right back!"is the last Adword post for service interruption.
I think the use of "tuned" is intentionnal here... |
xsoft2006, and your source is... |
And today (2nd Dec.) http://audioads.google.com/ is "Under Construction" again. |
