Google Links

A couple of weeks ago we reported that there was a bug with the Google Search Console link report. Google's John Mueller eventually confirmed the issue and said a fix will come out soon. This morning (I checked several times per day since then) I am seeing a small increase in the number of links being reported by the link report.

So maybe, just maybe, a fix is rolling out for the Google Search Console links report...

Here is what I see this morning, about 250,000 links, which is up from 214,000 links from before:
