Fetch as Googlebot Submission Error
Google’s diagnostics tool (located under the “Health” tab) in Google’s webmaster tool box titled “Fetch as Googlebot“ is an online tool that lets you see exactly how a page appears to Google’s Googlebot and allows you to submit URLs to Google’s index. But sometimes Fetch as Googlebot shows an upsetting error message when attempting to submit URLs to Google’s index after having successfully fetched the page.
The error message reads: There was an error processing your request (pictured)
1. Fetch as Googlebot will still fetch the specified URL.
2. But will not allow you to manually submit URLs to Google’s index.
Why did this error message happen? Banned by Google?
You are not banned by Google and your URL will still be indexed by Google (in most cases). Your webpage will certainly show up on Google’s SERPS without manually submitting it using the Fetch as Googlebot tool found in Google’s webmaster toolbox.
This error (There was an error processing your request) is tecnically a bug in Google’s manual indexing system (Fecth as Googlebot) and has nothing to do with anyone’s website. This fetch error does not mean your website is banned by Google, nor in harm.
Recommendations:
1. Continue submitting your URL manually using the Fetch as Googlebot tool until your webpage has been approved. No harm, no foul.
2. Stay on track of your website’s SEO so this type of situation doesn’t include you webpage the next time.
thanks for pots..
i got the same problem 🙁
Yesterday it failed to fetch. Today it has fetched, but the error message appears when I try to submit.
There are a few current bugs, that being one of them, though if you click submit again it may possibly index successfully. The other bug being the fetch status process freezes while pending.
Your unique visitor bot worked now my website is ranking even higher im at 55,000 http://www.emeraldmatch.com

Thanks for the update..this has been driving me crazy for days now.
When trying to read this article, the light blue bar containing “LIKE” and “TWEET” etc. is hovering over the left side of the article covering part of it up. I’m using Firefox 10.0.2.
WOW! Thanks, I was quite worried with all this Google stuff going on lately.
Thanks for the update! As of today I am still experiencing the issue but am hoping for a quick resolution.

This is also the same problem we have been experiencing. We’re glad to know that it is simply an issue on Google’s side not to do with the APACMS IT Support site or it’s Services.
Good to know because i too was having similar problem todate.
Well, how about my Blogger custom domain statistics not showing up. I mean the Traffic sources, referring sites and keywords? i can see number of visits but wont see where they come from. Any know how?
Glad to clear things up.
Thanks for that update. I was literally going nuts when I saw that.
