Last month one of our web site having 1000 back links and , now it reduced to 500 or some closer to that. Why is that happening .. What should i do to increase this status.
this happens to me sometimes, i think it is just the search engines updating their database. maybe sometimes they just clean up old pages that are duplicates or something...
then what will happen back link that all ready pointed , if they are cleaning there databases , will they update again ?
Which tool are you using? Yahoo Site Explorer? This happens sometimes. I noticed it recently as well. Sometimes they don't show all the sitewide links so the link count is heavily reduced.
yeah ! I'm using yahoo site explorer , & i need the real meaning why this happen and how does it affect to our site rank ...
What about your backlink count shown in Google webmaster tools ? Is there any difference shown there ?
Google/Yahoo have always shown different link profiles, although recently G has shown more detailed link data.
Yea you are right. If some is targeting good SERP in Google, He should more worry about the link count shown in Google webmastertools than in Yahoo site explorer.
It usually happens when the backlink sources have been down for some time or didn't exist anymore during the latest google index update. So try trace them back through your own BL checkers and see if your past sources are no longer live.
I think not all your backlink will listed there, for example if you submit your article, your article not stay forever at those place or search engine hardly search your link because that place may get update again and again..
keep submitting your site on online directory, because directory keeps link for long time. its help you to stable your backlinks on search engine. their are many free directory available for submit.
