When I checked my Google :links yesterday they went up from 41 to 358 and now this morning down to 5. I also noticed SERP re-adjustment and PageRank shift on pages. Did any one else notice this on sites?
Rather than categorizing these changes as the major one, I would attribute the same to some residual changes after a major update..particularly since we had a major update, just 10 days back! Regards, RightMan
I was wondering. there is so much going on at Google it seams the harder you work at doing it their way only makes it harder. It was a big hit to me loosing 35 Google backlinks in one hit. I hope they come back. Last night when I checked it said I went from 41 to 378. I thought this is to good to be true. We will see, I have gained Google Backlinks every month may be in a few weeks we will be even higher.
I doubt that you really "lost" any backlinks. Google only shows a portion of the links and doesn't seem to do so any predictable manner. Unless the pages on which your backlinks appear were all de-indexed by Google (extremely unlikely if your backlinks appear on a variety of websites), then the links are still there, Google is just not showing them to you.
I also lost some backlinks to my website according to google. Few days ago I had 9 backlinks but now I have only 4.
a week or so ago, the number of links showing at link:domainname.com for me went up quite a bit, then down, then up again a few days ago, and down tonight. whhhhheeeeeeee!! i figure it's just the normal google thing. links in google webmaster are pretty stable.
I believe this just a minor update of fluctuating backlinks on Google. I just notice my earning went down, really for this month.
