Have I done something wrong?

[Pinkpoker]

I use google webmaster tools and noticed yesterday that all the links that were listed to the main page of my site have vanished. I always anoticed a few come and go but the whole lot has gone ( over 250) . If I check sites i know are linking to my main page the links are still there. So have I done something wrong to warrent the whole lot going?

That's what happened to me just after the link selling penalties were announced.

[Pinkpoker]

Did they come back? I am hoping its just a google glitch as I havent sold or bought any links so not thinking it can be that

[LadyHoldem]

No they didn't come back. But it doesn't sound like the same thing then. GL GL

Have your rankings changed?

[Pinkpoker]

no none of my rankings are affected so far. Probably just jinxed it now and they fall through the ground tonight.

I don't worry too much about what google decides to show me. Just like what they show for PR. It isn't up to date. If your rankings haven't changed then more than likely your links that they recognize haven't changed.

Google Webmaster Tools is an unreliable source of information, full of glitches and bugs. However, there is a speculative rumor sweeping the SEO community that Google may have done a rollback over the past few days.

Essentially, a rollback is where the search engine reinstates an older software set and/or database while it fixes a problem in a new software set and/or database. It takes a while to confirm that a rollback has occurred.

I am pretty certain "something" has changed... For a month or two, I suspected links originating from facebook were getting a ridiculous amount of "authority," which now the search results I suspected of being inflated by the facebook effect have dropped off the face of the Earth.

It is all strange especially when my poker site looses all its links but a non gambling website I have suddenly is showing more links on a daily bases and I havent even started to try and get link backs for it.
