The values in brackets are the change from the original benchmarks of So? Is it Working 1? Positives are good news and what we are hoping for, negatives are not so good.
This all doesn’t look too bad, but there’s still nothing to get really excited about. As for the 32 dropped external links, they are all due to Yell.com. For some reason we have, for a long time, had 127 links from Yell. Don’t know why! We don’t have that many pages to link to! Anyway, for some reason this has now dropped to 95. I did notice that our data on their site was in need of updating though which may account for a change, or it might just be that they have gotten themselves in better order. A little research seems to suggest that a drop might not actually be a bad thing though, as having a disproportionate number of links from a single site could look spammy to Google. Ever the optimist!
