    Mine gained first for a week or so and then lost back to the orginal amount for a couple of days and then went down by more than 150. I also dropped like 31,000 some odd pages from the index.

    Funny thing is I finally go to the point to where I was ranking very high on almost all of my keywords (still am at the moment) and this shit happened.

    What the hell is wrong with google?

    In the past week my BLs have gone from 222 to 235, then back to 222, then to 209 yesterday, and now Google Search shows 209, whereas the API is showing 222.

    I wonder if they're dropping pages and reindexing, or what.

    Well .. my google BL did went up a bit from 2500 to 2900 for the last few days .. and i think it was 200-ish before the update.

    Checked marketleap, an interesting observation is that for all other URLs the BL reported in google and hotbot are the same .. except mine .. which is 2900 for google and 1800 for hotbot .

    well ... although the BL i've got ... my 14 months old site is still yet to come out from sandbox

    Do you guys feel at this point paid backlinks still work and are not getting sorted out by google, since cutts seemed to be able to prove they can pick them out?

    Don't know about paid links but I am seeing forum signature links show up when I use the link: command. How much weight do you think they give to forum signature links?

    I don't think we can make a judgement at this time, as this backlink update has not yet propogated across all datacenters... and pre-jagger backlinks are still out there. This may just be more jagger BS. Usually the backlinks propogate quite quickly.
    The one site-wide I purchased is still bringing me what I wanted from the deal - regular, steady, daily, deep visits from Googlebot. If they discount these links, it will probably be at the point of calculating serps and PR, while still crawling them.
    I noticed that too, and wondered if that was somehow a trade-off. But I also noticed some appearing from low (<3) pr pages, and that makes me doubt any conclusions. Google is just not acting normally.

    I think that we cannot draw any conclusions from this update due to the vast changes that Google made during jagger. If the next backlink update looks similar, then we may be able to judge better.

    I am beginning to wonder if Google intends on keeping up 3 sets of backlinks, multiple PR, and different serps dependent upon datacenter. :rolleyes:

    who cares the backlink don't mean anything, its not a complete list, its pretty much useless

    at least when there is a pr change it actually means something

    That's true. I have observed that alot of backlinks (acquired through those *old* means) are being discounted by GG. Anyway, I would much rather give it a while before reaching at a conclusion. Let us see what GG has got in their wallet this time. :D
