    I usually don't check how many links Google has using link: command to my site, but for some reason I did and I used to have thousands of good links but now I have 19???!!! Yes, nineteen links.

    Anybody else seen that?:eek:

    I was actually not talking about the sites in my signature. I have another site, usually among the top 10 sites in Google in it's category.
    I know I have lots of links from likeminded linking to me but they are nowhere to be found in Google anymore, or at least not today. I also checked one of my competitor and they used to have lots of links too but not anymore.
    It seems, at least for me, that google have done some changes or maybe it is just the link: command that doesn't work....?

    I think it's too soon to worry you should wait a few days and see if your links return
    google may be making some type of algorithmic change.

    Like I said, I usually don't check the links in Google, so I don't know how long it's been like that.
    Yahoo says I have 25,000+ inlinks.....

    I never really understood the criteria for a linked page to show up when searching for link:domain.com. Anyone know?

    use backlinkwatch because they are more reliable.

    Maybe the webmasters are deleting some threads.
