Google Webmaster Link drop

[TP_Marketing]

Checking Google Webmaster it looks like my links dropped in half? Yet I have been ranking very well the past 2-3 days? Is there any explanation for this? I have been doing Pr's, Blogs, manual link building, and concentrating on the social side of it as well, facebook, twitter, google+ can that have anything to do with better rankings? or is it still considered a minor part?

Thanks!

You can't really rely on Google Webmaster Tools for accurate incoming link counts.  I would measure against Open Site Explorer.  Have you checked there and they have gone down as well?

Although it’s not pretty common so I guess you should double check this on Open Site explorer or Majestic SEO and if this is really the case you should look deep in to things to find out what really is going on because this can be serious at times.

Although links does not have a direct impact on rankings because if you are building lousy links then rankings might not get a positive spike but if links are good then sure you can. You said you are seeing good rankings from the last 2 to 3 days so I think you should send some more days before come up to the conclusion and in the mean while continue building great links...

I have, for some reason the number in open site explorer has always been low, and much higher in Webmaster? Not sure why

Ive never had an issue (No new messages or recent critical issues.) I take it everythings ok? If there was an issue would Webmaster display the message? Also if there was an issue with links for some reason do i have the ability to remove them if there is a problem?

Thanks

Having a lower number of links in OSE is common to everyone if you go to Majestic SEO you might find the accurate number of links.
