This has been a Big PITA... We have lost over a million links in one forum thanks to the "Big Daddy" update Google had a few months back. We went from about 1,100,000 links/refs in Google down to about 19,000 right now!

That really stinks... Fortunately, we still have over 1/2 a million in Yahoo but traffic has definitely taken a hit.

Has anyone else lost links in their forums in Google?

If you don't already know how to check you probably won't know unless you have just seen a decrease in traffic. You can enter the following in Google to find out how many links you have:

"site:yoursite.com"

Hope we were the only one!

After digging in for information about this sudden hike, came across to certain webmaster talks, they had same PR boosts from G.

Still these sites show up 3 and 4.. not sure how long.

The big daddy update wasnt an update really. Bigdaddy involves new infrastructure and is not just a data push or algorithm update.

The big daddy 'update' actually occurred over about 3 months and was done datacenter by datacenter.

Google is in alot of flux due to this infrastructure change. Pagerank updates have been strange and incomplete. Search engine ranking positions have also been affected, although most has calmed down now. I alsoknow there was a glitch at one point that caused many forums to have most of their indexed pages dropped, only to be reindexed a few weeks later.

Been a busy year at google.

My rankings have not changed substantially, but my number of indexed pages has skyrocketed.

Well, they have thus far neglected to re-index much of my over a million previous links.. So, thumbs down to their update thus far lol

There is a difference between Indexed pages and Links..

The site command gives you indexed pages.

Ok, indexed pages then in my case.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
