| Massive Drops In 'Links to Your Site' Within Google Webmaster Tools | Cody Miller | 2/4/13 9:45 PM | Hi, I have seen huge drops in total links to my site within Google Webmaster Tools. Traffic > Links to Your Site. This is across a portfolio of various different sites. At first I thought it was a result of the disavow tool used for 1 site, but thi |
| Re: Massive Drops In 'Links to Your Site' Within Google Webmaster Tools | StevieD_Web | 2/4/13 9:53 PM | looking like a WMT hiccup as the link drop also affects internal links including links to the home page. |
| Re: Massive Drops In 'Links to Your Site' Within Google Webmaster Tools | Daniel Negari | 2/4/13 11:43 PM | Are you sure? Many links we disavowed; and other links which were removed by webmasters - I was thinking that it finally refreshed today to accurately reflect incoming links not disavowed / actually still actively linking. |

| Re: Massive Drops In 'Links to Your Site' Within Google Webmaster Tools | vw001 | 2/5/13 3:31 AM | Since today, the 'links to your site' have dropped from around 400 to 6 for my site too. I have not added any links, nor used link farming or anything like that. I'm afraid it will affect my rankings if this does not return to normal soon. Could it b |
| Re: Massive Drops In 'Links to Your Site' Within Google Webmaster Tools | Suzanneh | 2/5/13 3:42 AM | I'm seeing a drop, too. Like Stevie_D said, looks more like a hiccup.
