"Various sporadic reports from both DigitalPoint Forums and WebmasterWorld that Google's Webmaster Central Link Tool is temporarily offline.I tried it myself, just now and it seems to be offline for me as well.  I am told \"Our system is currently busy. Please try again in a few minutes.\"  Here is a screen capture:I believe Google is doing an update of your links in that tool.  When I logged in yesterday, it was up, even though some reported it as down.  And I noticed my link count went up about 70,000 links or so.  But I have yet to analyze the data and bring it to you.  I will.As of right now, the tool is still down.Forum discussion at DigitalPoint Forums and WebmasterWorld.Update 8:15am: Now it is back up but shows me zero links.Update: 8:50am: Also the top anchor text report is down, probably related..."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
