Webmaster Tools (Urgent)

[Asher]

So yesterday google webmaster tools has over 5,000 links linking to my site.  I get in this morniing and now i have 16 links linking to my site and no rankings minus brand terms.  I do not believe that I have been penalized but I might have been.

After digging further into this it seems that my www.domain.com and domain.com are separated and webmaster tools is tracking www.domain.com and majority of links are to domain.com.  Is this possible or am I wishing to see something that is not there.

Any help and recommendations would be absolutely appreciated.

Hi Jason,

I have a site in GWT where it was wrongly setup minus the www and it was showing no links, adding the www version solved the problem. So in that regard it is possible, although it is very odd that it would change from one day to the next. By all means add the non www domain to GWT to see what data you get, but the switch from yesterday and the loss of rankings is worrying and you should definitely dig deeper... any chance there was a server setup change recently that might have thrown a spanner in the works?
