A drop in backlinks?

No change for me..everything is rock still
 
same here, lost about 50%

hope that y site expl just changed its algo
 
Came down from 1060 to 161 backlinks !

What the hell is going on!!!

Actually, one strange thing.. backlink count decreased and I now rank #1 for the targeted keyword.

Earlier I was at page 2 and now #1.
 
UPDATE:

After losing over 70,000+ backlinks, my site is now first page for ALL of my keywords (5-7 keywords).
 
You guys are not "losing" backlinks they are just not all showing in Yahoo explorer. They may be updating their code right now or there could be a glitch.

Either way it won't effect your Google rankings.
 
Yeah i think it is just yahoo explorer that has gone wrong

Lost 50% backlinks in all sites
 
Same with all my sites too..All backlinks are drop maybe around 30%-40%.. Very sad lol..
 
I know why this happened, and I'll make a blog post about that today or tomorrow on my blog.
In short this is because of duplicate content on the backlinks source page... ;)

Roughly 50-60% backlinks lost... some site had more then 12-15k back links... Nothing seems to change with ranking... Lets see how it goes...
 
I too lost ~50% of my Backlinks or say Yahoo SiteExplorer is showing just ~50% of my backlinks. Maybe they are updating their DB or Code. Rank in SERPs is same yet. Even I was depressed at the lower count of backlinks but lol, it happened with everyone.
 
It's not that you actually lost 50% of your backlinks.
It's that in general, YSE is showing about 50% less backlinks.

Remember that Yahoo and Bing merged so there is probably some changes going on.
Better you keep track of actual backlinks indexed in the Search Engine you target on your own.

And, as already said, do not worry as long as your SERPs do not decrease or even improve!

Lost another 15 percent this morning and dropped from number 1 to number 2 in Google results for my keywords. I've lost 60% of my links with Yahoo.
 
I also had a lost in regards of indexed pages. I had 280 indexed pages and I have now only 91...
 
This has nothing to do with Scrapebox.

I went through this twice the last year. Yahoo site explorer shows about 50% less backlinks for a day or two, and then they all come back. It has never affected rankings.

I don't know why, was thinking it had to do with the merger of Bing and Yahoo and them updating their databases, but may be not.
 
all of my sites dropped too. I imagine this is part of the service being phased out as part of the bing takeover?

First page in Yahoo or Google? This are the same crappy answers as: Yes, i lost also 100 backlinks...... <--- 100 from a total of??????????? O MY!!!!

The drop is not even 24hours old so you think you already see the results for your droped backlinks? I'dont think so :p
