Webmaster Tools – Links to your site
I just logged into my Google Webmaster Tools account and got a surprise, which I am sure is some mistake From Google
The first site I checked had 250 back links few days ago, now it is having 3067 !!
The second site had about 2000 back links, now it has 54443 backlinks.
These figures are mentioned at the top of the “links to your site” page. Below it is a list with links to all the different pages of the site. Added all together I get a much lower figure, a bit higher then a few days ago, but nothing near the total Google says I have.
But when I Downloaded the table and its only showed 648. When I actually went through the table within WMT, I counted 609.
I wonder if I am the only one with these strange results, or are more people seeing this in their webmaster account?
[...] has now corrected the problem of showing huge number of links for any website by separating the total number of links and sample of total incoming links [...]
