Could ranking drops & loss of GWT link information be related?

[martinacastro]

My site drop some positions for none competitive kws, and more than 150 positions for more compettive kws.

I visited GWM and saw that my links information is not avaiable. Perhaps is a problem with the index?

Seems that my site is for some of these kws in positions that was 6 or 8 months ago...

Thanks for comments or recommendations

Anything is possible but GTW is very buggy so I would not connect the two. What have you done to reverse engineer your drop in rankings?

Have you documented all of the backlinks you have recently lost?
Have you analyzed the backlinks of your competition?
Have you checked out what new content the competition added to their site?
Have you checked your log files to make sure you did not have any errors when the googlebot ip visited?
Have you analyzed the google serps to see if they tweaked the algo & its now impacting your industry?

Thanks goodroi

Can you explain me "Have you checked your log files to make sure you did not have any errors when the googlebot ip visited?" How can I do that?

Open up your log files and query them for googlebot entries. Then look at the status codes.

I actually use that every day to see what /how many pages Gbot got. Excellent advice. I use textpad and search for Googlebot2. whatever it is
