Drop in Backlinks

    As of late my mains site has been dropping in backlinks, pretty rapidly. Any reasons for this? Apart from the obvious link partners stop linking back. I heard someone say before a pr update this happened. Any truth in that.

    That can only mean that those links are being removed to my knowledge.

    If your link is on a website that doesnt have a NOFOLLOW it will count as a backlink and wont be removed.

    A possible scenario could be that pages that have your link on them are becoming de-indexed so that link will no longer count.

    Guess there is a few things that could be the cause but I can tell you it definetly has nothing to do with a PR update.

    Its also hurting your ranking? :rolleyes:

    If not then there is no need to worry ...

    I think iwebtool uses Google.

    You should use MSN {Live}, Yahoo! Site Explorer or Backlinkwatch {mine} for comprehensive backlinks report ;)

    sometimes big search engine does do that every now and then.
