Google WMT/search console: Thousands of "Links to your site" even only one back-link from a website.

Hi,

I can see in my search console that a website giving thousands of links to my site where hardly only one back-link from one of their page to our page. Why this is happening?

You can click on the domain and see the full list of links. If you've done this and confirmed the links really are dead, it's likely that they used to exist and Google is yet to re-crawl them and notice they've been removed.

Search Console does tend to be quite laggy (ie data you see in there is quite a bit behind) so don't put too much emphasis on what you see there. If the links are gone then that will be noted soon and ultimately there's nothing you can do to speed that up unfortunately.

Actual scenario here is, we been looking the same statistics for almost an year. As I shown in above screenshot, only one link been listing when we click on the domain but number of "Total links" are in thousands. We have many domains link this. What we do to get updated with accurate linking ?
