New Google backlinks - where did they go?

February 6th, 2007 by Marc

Just announced yesterday, it is now no longer to be found in the webmaster tools. Well, it was great as long as it lasted ;-)

No, seriously, it’s gone again. But from what I’ve read, the new feature received a warm welcome by many and that may have triggered a backlink mania that could have overloaded that particular service. Let’s hope it’ll be back soon.

Update: Apparently the reason for Google pulling the feature was a security hole allowing to see other sites’ backlinks aswell. Google knows about it now and will probably put the tool back online soon.

Update: They’re back!
