Google backlinks are updating again...it seems mine are dropping a bit from 285 to 267. As my backlinks increase, the "one's that count" decrease. According to Google webmaster tools, my actual backlinks keep increasing, now over 17,000. Odd isn't it. And NO, I do not participate in link exchanges, etc...never.
I thought there was already a thread on this subject. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1274488
