Google Webmaster Tools - Links To Site Updated Without Disavowed Links

Discussion in 'Google' started by thefizboshow, Feb 5, 2013.

    I noticed with the PR that the links in webmaster tools have updated and I found interesting that the links disavowed for some sites were no longer appearing in the list of links.

    I have not heard of anything relating to this and thought I would ask if anyone else has come across this as well.

    Please share!

    The fact the links that are disavowed no longer appear in the list of links to your site shown in GWT. Yes they are no longer considered in your rankings, I did not realize that they would not longer show those links though.

    If they left them there would be no confirmation that they were disavowed and people would keep trying to submit the same links over and over again. Not that I know that for fact but makes sense to me.

    I did some research and many are suggesting that the missing links is simply the result of a glitch.

    I guess it is just a waiting game now

    Indeed there is currently a problem with 'Links to your site' in Google Webmaster Tools. I had a really significant number there before, but now it only shows 124 domains pointing to my site. Was wondering what's the problem with that.
