Hi there! Did anyone experience that backlinks suddenly disappeared?

I am maintaining a new website that already had 400 backlinks, but just yesterday when i checked with SEO quake (usual tool that i use), it went down to 103 but it still maintains its page1 position.

What seems to happen and will i ever get back those missing backlinks?

Thanks! :-)

    Yes, this happened a few days ago. This may be due to Yahoo getting it's search information from Bing now.

    Don't worry the backlinks haven't disappeared, this has happened across the board to all my sites and its becuase of the data supplied by Yahoo.

    This happens periodically and then the data returns back to normal. However, with the new Yahoo/Bing changes recently, who knows if the data source has changed..

    To get better backlink data, I recommend you check out "Majestic SEO". It has a small monthly charge to use it, but for any serious SEO its dynamite...
