On the the Stats Page the “Incoming Links” data shows an error message:
“No incoming links have been found”

This has been happening for the last few days.

I thought you may have had a programming glitch so i waited for a correction, but maybe you are not aware of this problem.

Best regards,

We are aware of a problem with that and currently looking into a solution.

The Incoming Links listing gets its results from a Google search, and isn’t always the most up-to-date. If you check the Referrers in your Site Stats section, you will see more real-time results.

Hey Coffeemanmatt,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Re: “Incoming Links listing gets its results from a Google search, and isn’t always the most up-to-date”

That answers a lot of other questions!
Google hasn’t been kind to us (Our Blog) since the end of the 2008 Prez election campaign.
We were sandboxed then and have been fighting since to get our ratings back.

If we had the money we could sue as other Bloggers have, but that’s not an option at this time.

Have you considered using another service? Maybe Yahoo?

It’s too bad that Google is so popular & has a monopoly on searches.

Best Regards,
Ed

Hi, always a good idea as well to search the forums first before posting. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/search.php?q=incoming There are at least two other recent, lengthy threads on this exact same topic. HTH
