Moz tool bar showing less links

[heatherrobinson]

Just checked our links for a couple of our sites and noticed that the number of inbound links has dropped from around 55,000 to 13,000 on one and from 6000 to 700 on the other.

GWMT still showing the previous amounts.

Anyone else experienced this over the last few days?

I have not experienced this , do you still have the CSV for all of those inbound links? have you tried researching the missing links (such as which domain is the missing links coming from) ?

The latest linkscape update was done on the 27th of July so this was probably the updated where you saw the drop in the links being counted.

Our domain has experienced a drop in links but not as dramatic as the falls you're experiencing. Are the drops in links mirrored by a similar loss in linking root domains? i.e. how many actual sites have stopped linking (or possibly stopped being picked up by moz bar) ?

[heatherrobinson]

linking root domains have only dropped slightly (around 15%), but I'll take a look into which root domains are now missing from the reports

Thanks Yumi, I'll take a look at the CSV files so see if I notice any patterns.
