Just lost 300 links?

Hello

Quite frequently I check out our sites with Yahoo site explorer.

Yesterday I found that our home page has lost 300 back links and all the other pages I was watching have lost serious numbers of links as well.

Is this a temporary glitch with Yahoo?

Many of my backlinks have come from articles, if that is of any significance.

Thank you for your input.

I think I saw a very similiar thread on the backlinks forum. As long as your backlink building strategies are completely whitehat then you do not have to worry at all.

Its rankings you should be watching. If the backlinks you build are from articles then I definitely would not worry. I have seen some stuff like this with my sites but I decided a while ago to stop checking my backlinks as my rankings were not decreasing but actually increasing. It sounds weird but hey search engine tools are like that I guess.:confused:

  I was unaware back-linking your own sites was considered 'completely whitehat'?
  
  A necessary 'evil' maybe... but 'whitehat'?

Have just noticed the same thing - one of my sites has dropped from 1,191 backlinks to 347.
No idea why.

It's happening to quite a few people, but doesn't seem to be affecting ranking. I'm personally not really worrying about it as long as my ranking is not affected.

I noticed that the other day. Not sure how it works. I'm not sure if some of them have a time stamp or what. I just keep plodding away.

  I've experienced this since yesterday.. I just hope that this is just a temporary glitch.. Or maybe they're just doing some tweaking on their SE algo..
  
  Thanks
