    Backlinks reverted back - Is it me or has the last backlink update been reverted back

    All my sites have gone back to what they were before the last update

    I never saw the 'update' everyone reported a week or two ago. This weekend all my backlinks and PR updated. Some good, some bad.

    Yesterday, I had over 400 backlinks on Google. Today it shows 0. Any ideas how this could happen?

    Thanks,

    Roger

    I assume that this has nothing to do with participating in the ad network. Is there anyone else that went back to 0 links in Google?

    Thanks,

    Roger

    Being in the ad network wouldn't have anything to do with it.

    I reverted too. Considering I'd lost some backlinks, I can't say I mind so much.

    Nobody lost ANY backlinks.

    You just lost what Google CHOSE to display to you.

    It doesn't make any difference to your ranking at all whether or not your displayed backlinks have gone down in Google or not!

    Sorry for the rant, but I just don't understand why people care about this.

    I think most people are saying that their backlinks reverted to what they were before the update. I know that is what happened to me.

    LOL - I was away most of the weekend and only had the chance to go into the KW Tracker and update every day without looking at the figures.

    Now, come Monday afternoon, I see the figures and see those blips - I'm tracking BLs in a score of sites and Big G gave some links then took them away AND took away some links then handed them back.

    It's like a bank error when you get an unexpected credit, wander where it came from, then before you know it, the bank realises and takes it back.

    As for reverting to what they were before the update - that was the update - a corrected update. Here's the BLs for mantaworld.com...

    we went from 72 backlinks to 650, then back to 72. as others have said, didn't make a difference in our rankings.

    That was the weirdest thing.

    I have 2 sites at the moment which pretty much have the same backlinks, the jewellery design 1 and the present 1. The jewellery 1 actually has more recipricol links and it had the present 1 going up more backlinks before it reverted back. Maybe they made a dogs dinner of it?

    It was strange that the backlinks were almost the same as yahoo for me

    But the number of backlinks on google showing is just a bit of fun :p

    Althought Im seeing big spidering by google in the last 12 hrs , might be something going on in the next few days . Who knows

    I think they tried a new backlink selection algorithm. It didn't work so they switched back.
