Inbound links

[Partouter]

Hi all,

I was working on some monthly SEO reports and I noticed that the number of inbound links was a lot less compared to last month. I measured these number of inbound links with the mozBar, e.g.

May 2011 - 49.306, June 2011 - 10.659, July 2011 - 1.010

Do you have any idea how this could be possible? I'm really looking forward to your answers!

Thanks all!

Rand mentioned here - http://www.seomoz.org/blog/brand-new-open-site-explorer-is-here - that the link numbers may change.  They've slightly changed the way they crawl sites it says.

How often are the numbers updated on opensitexplorer ???

Ok, but a 'slightly change' is not the explanation for the numbers above, I guess.Is it possible that there's another reason for this?
