I have just checked my backlinks and they have changed (went from 4 to 3) However, on webmaster tools, they have increase (2,000 - 2,500) Anyone else?
Don't let this stuff worry you. Search engines inability to show accurate ammount of backlinks is well known and often fluctuates.
i too have not noticed any change but this morning i had read similar type of question in some other forum.
One of my sites jumped from 25,000 backlinks to 39,000 in webmaster tools but got dropped ~50 positions in search for almost all search terms. 90% Google traffic gone overnight.
my google traffic recently got taken from me to even though my backlinks went up... but my yahoo traffic is still staying strong
the link: command has not changed at al for my 5 sites.....I have seen changes in webmaster central though...
