You're right, of course, that's a sample file, but it seems to work either way - that's Windows for you. :)
There were many sites on our network which had a links page that linked to other sites. These pages I did not know they were online still, but after the last update i saw the downfall of the ranking of many of these sites so i immediately found what i believed was the issue and deleted all the links pages! neat :)This wasn't for all our sites just a handful, but a big handful :) How do I go about doing reinclusion request for a block of IPs or just give a huge list of domains ;)
When I emailed google they said it was not blacklisted or penalized, could it just have been algarythm change?
sorry about the jubulation. it happens during this period.
what you see on -ex is in all likelihood what you will end up seeing this month as the results for google. so congradulations, it looks like you did good work. Google has at least 8 different databases, only 1 of which is the one we actually view on google.com. during the dance, you will most often see google test its new index (database) on one of its databases. What you are seeing on -ex is a SEO's snapshot into what is going to happen to the "live" google database in 2-3 days. these results will remain until we gather again in a month to do it again:)
SJ shows the same number of links as our site had last month.
EX shows 15% fewer links (down about 650)
Luckily my sites still managed to hold on or gain PR though ;)
It seams that the value of a link has increased but it also apears that more than one link from a domain is being ignored.

Im noticing that back link checks are showing a lot of sites with less than pr4? anyone else.

It's still everywhere else, but if the new version begins with -ex, it ate my index.htm page

That makes perfect sense. Mathematically, if you decrease the total number of links (by ignoring multiple links from the same site), then any single link that is counted has more influence than it would have otherwise. Look at it this way: 1 link out of 100 would have a 1% influence, but 1 link out of 10 would have a 10% influence (very crude example).
Good insight, mack.
Has anyone else seen a drastic reduction in the number of back-links showing for a site, without actually losing any sites linking to it?
webmasterworld - 9,060 to 11,300 =p
I've noticed this also over the last few updates. Usually the pages end up with at least a PR4 once the update has settled.
Has to be a good thing. Gone are the days of heavy cross linking.
Meanwhile nothing seems to be changed from here (the west coast). Yahoo backlinks are the usual, no pr or backlink changes on my sites on www. www2 or www3. I feel like I'm in a different universe.
I'm no expert, lawdy, I apparently fed my index page to the fishies, but you want to use allinurl:mydomain.com just the same
