A couple of questions about Webmaster Tools

[TheShortStack]

I've just been having a look through the Webmaster Tools in my Google account and come across a few things that I don't totally get.

- Firstly, when looking at my inbonund links there are a couple which are listed in an yellow-y font with a line through them. What does that mean?

- Also, Google is listing 9 URL's as "not followed." These are URL's that I changed a few weeks back to hopefully help with SEO. I put a 301 redirect on the old domains to ensure Google found them, and the re-direct seems to be working fine when I visit my site.

Should I be worried that the old URL's are "not followed" or is this just Google's way of noting that they've now been changed?

Cheers,

Did no one contact you? I have never seen inbound links listed the way you describe them.

As for the "not followed" listings, unless they have been that way for more than a month, I would not be too concerned. But you should make sure you update all your internal references to those old URLs, if you can.
