Decrease of links in Google webmaster tools

[sravanty]

I have been working on a real estate site from past 3 months. The links have increased gradually from 19 to 3450. There were 3450 links on friday i.e., on 8 Feb 2013 as well. But(11 feb 2013) today I found 19 links in webmaster tools for my website. Could any one please explain me the reason behind the decrease of links in Google webmaster tools with in 2 days of time. What could be done to get back the original links.

One possible case can be that on 8th Feb you had saw the number of pages in your website submitted by sitemap.xml and on 11th you just saw the number of backlinks.

There was and is a thread 2 or 3 down, in the same category you posted this in that answered your question.
If you were too lazy to look, I'm too lazy to offer you a link to it.

Yes there is decrease in number of links to your site section.I think their is a glitch and John Mueller of Google said they are working on it and ask us to be patient.
And one more thing i want to tell you that in index status they have removed the not index functionality because they think its confusing for the webmasters.
