You are building links through blog commenting I would bet.

Thanks

I've had the same issue with one of my sites. I'm sure this is to do with the Google PR update going on today. Just wait awhile, see if the links come back.

Also seeing lower link counts. It's probably a bug, or they are doing some type of update or upgrade to WMT.

Don't worry about it.

Thanks

Same here. From 30k plus to 21.

But what's left are from social bookmarking sites.

Probably there's an update happening.

Yeah, from over 12k links to 30 links

rankings are the same tho

they were not spammy, not blog comments, not wikis etc. and this is coming straight from webmaster tools

good links.

Ok then, it's definitely an update because my rankings are the same. They actually improved some.

A heads up from Google would be cool. Why not just send a message to everyone in GWT.
"We are updating your backlinks. Until the update is complete you might not see all of your backlinks."

Cmon Goog, this is Product Management 101 stuff.

Exactly the same here, it's weird, one site went from over 1,000 links to 0. I presume there's some kind of update their end as so far there's been no negative change to my rankings.

In case anyone is still wondering I found this article about what's going on with the links vanishing in GWT. It seems they're only to the homepage and it may be a bug according to Google: Did Google Lose All Your Links To Your Home Page?

Thanks

It happened to me as well, my SEO specialist said maybe I stop making backlinks for some time and I did. Did you stop making backlinks?

Thanks

It's nothing to do with that, please read the article I posted above, it's a Google bug that they're looking into.

Yes, this is true. The Google webmaster tool not showing all links to your site but no worry this is just data display problem. See the post below

GWT is the last place you want to check your backlinks with.

ok thanks GOD this is a bug of some kind...i was starting to panic. Same deal here, I'm on page 1, GWT showed 5k links the other day (and ahrefs shows 10k), and now i literally have 0 backlinks. but ahrefs still shows 10k.
