Google backlinks update

[roksolana]

I don't see Google backlinks update. Should it take place before PR update?

In January the number of my backlinks droped with about 8% during the second wave of the update. Recently I recognised the same phenomena so I think PR export is in the air

Why would backlinks drop? Is it the way Google work?

Hi

The backlink update has already been done as far as I know. It was done a few weeks ago. The backlink update is done before the PR update.

If you want to check your google backlinks. Type the following into Google search.

link: www.yourdomain.com

This will not show all of your backlinks but if you login to your Google Webmaster account you should see them all.

It's not a general true. One of my buddies recognised that the inlinks increased in the previous days.

I think google create a snapshot about the linkinkg structure and exports the links. Before the PR epxort it compares the exported links with a newer snapshot and correct it according to the changes.

You should remove the empty space after the link operator since in this way it will show different result.

I use link: command, also I use "domainname.com" command in Google search that gives much more links. It is not clear for me what kind of links google accepts when it counts my backlinks.
