Google.com showing as backlink provider in Webmaster Tools?
-
Hi Everyone
Looking in the 'Links to your site' section of webmaster tools today and my top backlinking domain is google.com which is apparently giving me 113 links.
The second top referring site is googleapis.com which apparently isn't even a site when I type it into my browser?
Does anyone else get Google.com as a site linking to them? and why would Google be linking to us, where would these links be coming from?
Any info appreciated
Regards

Ahh yes! I've found it now, forgot I could click on the links to get more info, thought it would just take me to the site.
Turns out most of them are coming from Google Plus which kinda makes sense now.
Thanks

I get lots of links from Google sites, orkut, productforums, groups, plus, app
If you drill down you can get the details.

Regarding Google Reconsideration
Hi Webmaster, Our website recent affected after the panda update. We got the mail from Google webmaster tools regarding the unnatural backlinks for our website. Due do this update we have edited most of the backlinks with natural way. Our question is we had submitted more free directories, from free directories we are getting more backlinks, like from a single domain we are getting more than 50+links, those are coming from the tags pages, also those are one way links, so we can’t edit that. Is it good for the website? After that edit we had sent couple of Google reconsideration report. But we got the reply like still you have the bad neighborhood links. Previously it was ranking well before the Google panda update. Could you please help me? Thanks
