It happens every once in awhile... where a certain site looses or gains 1 back link between a "normal" update. It's happened a couple times to me before, and no idea why.
I also have seen this happen to my sites. I also have no explanation. It does not herald the coming of an update.
I have been slowly increasing my backlinks over the past few months. But I was disappointed to see that my backlinks have suddenly disappeared? What was cause this?
Yea, me too. The numbers haven't changed for me for any of my sites for months. I just wish the numbers would switch to black from green or red so it would be easy to know if the numbers have really changed.
Mid June, Google went nuts with regard backlinks. Not sure why, but they are showing hundreds of links, but hiding some that are really relevant. All you can do now is keep on getting the links, and forget about the reporting of them. As google picks up the links it should move you up the SERps.
Now a days google is updating on daily basis. Only the page rank is changing once in a 3 weeks of so.
Sorry I was not being as detailed in my post that I wanted to be. My backlinks were increasing but then all of a sudden my INTERNAL backlinks fell off the fact of the earth. I guess that I what I am trying to figure out.
The number of backlinks reported is not 100% accurate. For example search for this... "link:www.amazingdentalplans.com". It currently says the number is 24 but the number of links is really 23.
