Google updating backlinks in Webmaster tools!

Discussion in 'Google' started by Negotiator74, Aug 25, 2008.

    As of today I noticed that Google has updated my Webmaster Tools account to show more links for all of my pages.

    Anyone else notice a change in their link numbers??

    I thought this normally happened just before a PR change but the last PR change was only recently completed.

    I noticed an increase in sitelinks for one of my domains.
    From 6 to 7, not that it means anything in ways of traffic.

    No backlink update for me yet.

    Backlinks in webmaster tools update much often then PR update. If you see a backlink update in webmaster tools, then it does not mean that there will be a PR update too.

    My backlinks have changed too. Up for some pages, down for other pages.

    WAAAY down for some pages, which really confused me.
    Then, I read the text at the top of the page. It says, "This table provides a list of pages on http://www.xqzyz.com/ that have links pointing to them from other sites. Click the number in the External links column to see a sample list of links to the page."
    It says "a list of pages". It does NOT say, a list of ALL the pages!

    I was graphing the changes in number of backlinks, but not any more.
    It is A SAMPLING only! We do not know the criteria for the sample, and we CERTAINLY don't know how this criteria changes. So why bother?

    This certainly explains how the number of backlinks can change RADICALLY, when in actuality, there has been little change at all.

    In conclusion, we get to see a SELECTED sample, of UNKNOWN determination. I am done with looking at this. It is just "some data", which CANNOT be quantified and compared over time. I have better things to look at, than spending time trying to figure out if my backlinks REALLY went down (or up).

    Seemed like this case is growing, some people seen changes on their backlinks and PR on last days/week. Sad but most cases, they are suffering PR drop.
