Google Webmaster Tools Link Report Bugs Still An Issue

Feb 25, 2009 - 8:27 am 1 by

A week ago today, we reported that some webmasters noticed the link reports in Google Webmaster Tools was not being updated or was not allowing for download.

On the 19th, Google said in a Google Webmaster Help forum thread that they fixed the issue for some sites. Then on the 23rd, they said they fixed it for all sites:

Ok everyone....thanks for responding here. It looks like there was a hiccup over the weekend with this fix getting completely rolled out to everyone.

With some extra legwork this morning the fix should be in place for all. Is anyone still seeing this issue?

But the issue has not been resolved for many. We have many messages both in that same Google Webmaster Help thread and a WebmasterWorld thread that this bug is still an issue today, the 25th.

So I guess Google will keep plugging away at the issue and hopefully resolve it soon.

Forum discussion at Google Webmaster Help and WebmasterWorld.
