I have been receiving Google error messages on a number of sites I frequently visit. The link here is for News Busters. Another one is here:

The Muddy Catholic

There have been three or four others.

[mlizzy]

Is anyone else having this problem?

[Dallas59]

The link you provided turns up a 404 page.

[mlizzy]

Yes, and this is a very big site, News Busters. But there have been several I’m receiving this error message on.

[Dallas59]

News Busters is gone too. Interesting.

Also received that kiind of message lately...Must check the concerned websites

[shaft29]

I haven’t been able to connect to News Busters all morning.

Yes, I’ve been getting it for the last couple weeks. I haven’t paid attention to which sites, however (probably not NewsBusters; I don’t go there a lot).

But I’ll start being more observant and will report back here in a few days with my findings.

Yes, the link I left at the top of the post is to News Busters. All the sites I visit are either right wing or Catholic ... and it has been on these type sites that I have received the messages.

Okay, so it's not just me ... I got in touch with one of the sites I visit to let him know (his has had an error message for over a week now). So I am going to start to keep a list and try to get a hold of the folks this is happening to and try to contact Google also. I look forward to hearing your findings!

Okay, News Busters just came up, but my other link listed is still broken. I guess the owner has to get in touch with Google directly.

I have been seeing this more-n-more lately—Ghost Troop Capt May went down months ago w/o explanation and has never returned...

RPWR also mysteriously disappeared a couple months ago only to reappear, mysteriously, a week or so ago...

Cannot recall all right now.

I have trouble posting stuff to furl—seems to be certain key words, etc.

Likely just my paranoia—yeah right!

What does this have to do with Google? You provide a link directly to the site. The site is down. It doesn’t appear to have anything to do with Google, unless I’m missing something.

The traceroute for Muddycatholic.com ends at a Google IP address. Google owns Blogger.com. It's possible that Muddycatholic is a blog at Blogger.com or another Google-owned blog site.
