Google Webmaster tools is a post from: SEO Blog

The first site I checked had  250 back links few days ago, now it is having 3067 !!
The second site had about 2000 back links, now it has 54443 backlinks.

These figures are mentioned at the top of the “links to your site” page. Below it is a list with links to all the different pages of the site. Added all together I get a much lower figure, a bit higher then a few days ago, but nothing near the total Google says I have.

But when I Downloaded the table and its only showed 648. When I actually went through the table within WMT, I counted 609.

I wonder if I am the only one with these strange results, or are more people seeing this in their webmaster account?

Amit Singhal a Googler says Google ran its own testing on how users respond to page speed, including experiments on Google.com. Singhal and Cutts point to a June 2009 blog post on the Google Research Blog that talked about how Google purposely slowed down its search results to measure the impact on search behavior. Our experiments demonstrate that slowing down the search results page by 100 to 400 milliseconds has a measurable impact on the number of searches per user of -0.2% to -0.6% (averaged over four or six weeks depending on the experiment). That’s 0.2% to 0.6% fewer searches for changes under half a second!

“When we slow our own users down [on Google.com], we see less engagement,” Singhal says. “Users love fast sites. A faster web is a good thing all around.”

How Google Measures Page Speed

Singhal says there are two primary ways Google will measure page speed:

1. How a page responds to Googlebot
2. Load time as measured by the Google Toolbar
In December, Google added a page speed report to Webmasters Tools in the “Labs” section. The report shows how fast your site loads, specifically calls out several pages on your site, and offers suggestions to improve page speed.

“Quality should still be the first and foremost concern [for site owners],” Cutts says. “This change affects outliers; we estimate that fewer than 1% of queries will be impacted. If you’re the best resource, you’ll probably still come up.”

Singhal says the focus remains on improving the user experience on Google.com, and the company can’t do that if it gets the relevance of search results wrong. “We want to return faster sites,” he says, “but not at the expense of relevance.”

Google further says this ranking change has no relation to its upcoming Caffeine rollout, which is about how Google indexes the web, not how it ranks pages.

The DiggBar was launched almost exactly a year ago, and immediately received lots of criticism from publishers who didn’t like their content being framed, and from search marketers who pointed out that it robbed sites of credit for inbound links. Digg later changed how the DiggBar works in response to these criticisms, but in his announcement today, Rose says the framing issue is why the DiggBar is dead.

As we all know framing content with an iFrame is bad for the Internet. It causes confusion when bookmarking, it’s an inconsistent user experience, and I’m happy to say we are killing it when we launch the new Digg.

As for the unbanning of domains, this has affected the search industry for years. Rose’s announcement today makes it clear that all content will be welcome on the new Digg.

For example, below is a search for health care on Google where about midway down on the page, there’s a “Latest results” section that appears with real time results:

real time searches

The results automatically flow with new information — and if that’s annoying, you can use the “Pause” link at the top of the section to stop them. What you can’t do is remove the section entirely, if you don’t like it.

By the way, you won’t always see the results. “If high quality information is coming in, then we will show it,” said Amit Singhal, a Google fellow who heads Google’s ranking systems and oversaw the development of the new real time search system, when I talked with him after the Google press conference.

Click on the Latest results link, and you can drill down into the results:

Here you can sort the results on the basis of categories like if you want latest in health care from Blogs then click on blog link, if you want latest from news then clicking on news will provide news results.
