google postmaster tools
Looks like GPT is down again — it’s not just you. The user interface for Google Postmaster Tools is showing a spinning wheel and nothing else, as of 9:00 am US central time on Friday, March 3rd. When this happened last time, the API remained up (so if you pull GPT data into a third party tool you are possibly unaffected) and when GPT returned, no data seemed to be lost. Hang in there — I’m sure folks at Google are aware and working on the issue.
Google Postmaster Tools, the very handy domain reputation dashboard provided free of charge from the folks behind Gmail, is having trouble right now. Since at least early afternoon on Thursday, February 9th, users have been greeted with an eternal spinning wheel after logging in. A few folks have suggested that hitting refresh a bunch of times might get you past this, but I wasn’t able to have any luck with that myself. Thus, if you’re experiencing trouble with GPT at the moment, know that it’s not just you, and I’m sure Google is working on getting everything back up and running as soon as possible.
It’s not just you! Many folks are reporting that Google Postmaster Tools is currently showing no data. I’m seeing this as well. In my case, my last data points appear to be from December 29th or so. At least one person suggested the outage goes back further than that, but I wasn’t able to confirm that myself. I am, however, reliably informed that there is indeed a broad issue occurring, that the right people at Google have been made aware of the issue and are working on getting the issue addressed. Stay tuned; I’ll post updates as I learn more.
