Google Search Engine Sports Broken Link, Few Notice

Few noticed last week that Google seemed to have had a broken link on its homepage. The link "Advertising Programs" was bringing a 404, I believe:

Google had a broken link, but now it's fixed

I, too, didn't notice, but DigitalPoint Forums members were not the only people who noticed it as I recall seeing a mention of it on a social network I was active on the night of the 24th when this was reported.

The link pointed to http://www.google.com/intl/en/ads/ which didn't exist on the day that this problem was reported. Now, however, you'll see what I believe Google wants you to see -- and that's information about the various advertising options you have on Google.

Curious -- does anyone still not see that page linked above?

Forum discussion continues at DigitalPoint Forums.
