All of my incoming links to my site are gone in Webmaster Tools!?

[PMC-312087]

I just checked webmaster tools and noticed that all of the links I have acquired over the last few months are gone except for 1 website. Did something change just recently? Is this a glitch?

Not all your inbound links will be listed in webmaster tools.  I find it is somewhat of a random selection of your inbound links.  A little bit of a splash of what google sees.  I've talked to a lot of people about it and nobody really knows exactly what makes google choose the ones that it shows and doesn't show.  One thing i have noticed though, is that the links that do tend to stick in there longer are links that are more credible.  If you go around posting blog spam, and adding your link in shady places, google often picks up on them for a while, and then drops them after a month or two.

Just stick to classic, honest, strong link building.  And don't focus so much on what google "says" is going on inside webmaster tools.  Yahoo's link explorer, or OSE are far better at giving the big picture in that department anyway.

I agree with this post. Google Webmaster Tools seem to have a mind of their own. OSE it!
