\n Today we’re making a change to the way we categorize link data in
\n Webmaster Tools<\/a>.
\n As you know, Webmaster Tools lists links pointing to your site in two separate categories:
\n links coming from other sites<\/a>,
\n and
\n links from within your site<\/a>.
\n Today’s update won’t change your total number of links, but will hopefully present your backlinks
\n in a way that more closely aligns with your idea of which links are actually from your site vs.
\n from other sites.\n<\/p>\n

\n You can manage many different types of sites in Webmaster Tools: a plain domain name
\n (example.com<\/code>), a subdomain (www.example.com<\/code> v\u0259 ya
\n cats.example.com<\/code>), or a domain with a subfolder path
\n (www.example.com\/cats\/<\/code> v\u0259 ya www.example.com\/users\/catlover\/<\/code>). Previously,
\n only links that started with your site’s exact URL would be categorized as internal links: so if
\n you entered www.example.com\/users\/catlover\/<\/code> as your site, links from
\n www.example.com\/users\/catlover\/profile.html<\/code> would be categorized as internal, but
\n links from www.example.com\/users\/<\/code> v\u0259 ya www.example.com<\/code> would be
\n categorized as external links. This also meant that if you entered www.example.com<\/code>
\n as your site, links from example.com<\/code> would be considered external because they don’t
\n start with the same URL as your site (they don’t contain www<\/code>).\n<\/p>\n

\n Most people think of example.com<\/code> and www.example.com<\/code> as the same site
\n these days, so we’re changing it such that now, if you add either example.com<\/code> v\u0259 ya
\n www.example.com<\/code> as a site, links from both the www and non-www versions of the
\n domain will be categorized as internal links. We’ve also extended this idea to include other
\n subdomains, since many people who own a domain also own its subdomains\u2014so links from
\n cats.example.com<\/code> v\u0259 ya pets.example.com<\/code> will also be categorized as
\n internal links for www.example.com<\/code>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Links for www.google.com<\/code><\/strong><\/td>\nExternal links<\/td>\nInternal links<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Previously categorized as…<\/td>\n\n www.example.com\/<\/code>
\n www.example.org\/stuff.html<\/code>
\n scholar.google.com\/<\/code>
\n sketchup.google.com\/<\/code>
\n google.com\/<\/code>\n <\/td>\n		\n www.google.com\/<\/code>
\n www.google.com\/stuff.html<\/code>
\n www.google.com\/support\/webmasters\/<\/code>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Now categorized as…<\/td>\n\n www.example.com\/<\/code>
\n www.example.org\/stuff.html<\/code>\n <\/td>\n		\n scholar.google.com\/<\/code>
\n sketchup.google.com\/<\/code>
\n google.com\/<\/code>
\n www.google.com\/<\/code>
\n www.google.com\/stuff.html<\/code>
\n www.google.com\/support\/webmasters\/<\/code>\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n If you own a site that’s on a subdomain (such as
\n search.google.com\/<\/code><\/a>) or
\n in a subfolder
\n (www.google.com\/support\/webmasters\/<\/code><\/a>)
\n and don’t own the root domain, you’ll still only see links from URLs starting with that subdomain
\n or subfolder in your internal links, and all others will be categorized as external links.
\n We’ve made a few backend changes so that these numbers should be even more accurate for you.\n<\/p>\n

\n Note that, if you own a root domain like example.com<\/code> v\u0259 ya www.example.com<\/code>,
\n your number of external links may appear to go down with this change; this is because, as
\n described above, some of the URLs we were previously classifying as external links will have moved
\n into the internal links report. Your total number of links (internal + external) should not be
\n affected by this change.\n<\/p>\n

\n As always, join our
\n Webmaster Help Forum<\/a>
\n if you have questions!\n<\/p>\n
