A Lot Of Backlinks Suddenly Disappeared From Google Webmaster Tools

Published by: Alex George on February 12, 2013
Have you checked the backlink count of your website reported in webmaster tools? If not, I recommend you to log in and make sure there is no big difference in the number of external links pointing to your websites. Right now in my webmaster tools account, most of the backlinks to my blog are not appearing. You can understand the sudden shock it can give to a blogger. However, I recovered from the shock very soon because this issue happened for many website owners.

Many webmasters are reporting the same issue in the Google product forum, blogs, and other webmaster forums. So my guess is Google may be changing the way to display external links pointing in webmaster tools or it might be a bug in their system.

Update: Google seems fixed the issue. Now I can see the backlinks again in Webmaster Tools.
