ive gotten thru many updates with lil changes, and all of the sudden yesterday, a good quality site of mine, lose 50% of its backlinks when u type link: www.###.com that cant be good anyone else experience this? \ u think its temporary update by google?
Google sometimes has old backlink/pagerank data on some of its datacenters. Its probably just a switch to a datacenter that has old data. It should correct itself.
My backlinks suddenly drop from 920 to 540 from Saturday to this Monday, and now it slowly comes back.
Use this http://www.marketleap.com/publinkpop/default.htm Did your SERP rankings drop as well? Hopefully you're seeing different data center also. Did you stop building links in the last few weeks/months?
now mine have dropped a little more since yesterday again....the last few days its been a constant 10 blacklinks dropping dialy
google is terrible for checking backlinks because it only shows you a small portion. use yahoo linkdomain:www.yoursite.com. it will tell you all links coming into your site
like oseymour said google is terrible at showing you the backlinks for a site. Use yahoos link:www.example.com it shows a much more accurate, up to date selection of links compared to google.
