Hello friend, I am really confused few days before I checked my sites Google webmaster tools I had near about 200 backlinks and today when I logged in the Google webmaster tool suddenly I saw 1000 backlinks..I was really surprise to see increase in the backlinks..I Just wanted to know that when I checked it is showing only 574 backlinks in table and the message is coming that This table lists a sample of 574 external pages that link to the site (name). And the second line says total links = 1017. How to see all the backlinks in Google webmaster tools... Please help..
same for me i had 200 backlinks and now its show 5k+ "This table lists a sample of 202 external pages that link to http://www. Total links: 5,811."
So, is this some sort of odd glitch, or are your back-links really growing exponentially through no action or knowledge on your part? If you find out any further information, please update this thread!
As i have repeated it for many webmasters, it a problem that is happened since some days a go and causes webmasters to see a large change in number of their backlinks. Some ones has lost a lot of their backlinks and some ones got a lot of backlink. But if you didn't make this amount of backlinks, this number is wrong and ignore it. This will be solved some days later by Google.
I don't think it is a glitch, it may just be that google is changing how it displays backlinks.... but of course I may be wrong.
Google webmaster tools doesn't update constantly so that's probably the biggest reason for the huge jump in backlinks. Also, even Google doesn't seem to find every single link as some pages aren't indexed as often as you would like due to lack of content, or updates that you have no control over. Best thing to do from a backlink perspective is build as many links as possible (don't worry about pinging them) and move on to the next method.
Yeah thats also possible, they seems to check more detailed than Yahoo, my site has 2.2million backlinks. Nice
ITS OFFICIAL that google have tweaked their algorithms, seems everyones backlinks total is now higher
