      Hi, i am just wondering if anyone has noticed a drop in their links. I have just looked at one site in webmaster tools and noticed i have lost a lot of links which is very strange.

        There has been quite a lot of talk about it on http://www.seroundtable.com/google-links-homepage-bug-16322.html looks like a bug in webmaster tools

            Hi Diane,

            Don't worry.  This is a known issue, and Google is working on it: http://webmaster-forum-announcements.blogspot.com/2013/02/known-issue-links-to-your-site-data.html

            Matt Cutts also said the same thing today on Twitter: https://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/301021126673440768

              • So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
