If you log into your Webmaster Central account today, you’ll noticed updated backlink figures. What the figures mean is up to interpretation, but at least you’ll get a look at how many links each page in your domain has.

I noticed a few technical issues when I clicked on the links to bring up more details. I’m sure they’re working on it.

I wouldn’t read too much into these link details. Even though Google says they pay attention to the nofollow rule, they still show the links in the backend. Now whether these links are “counted” or not is a whole nother debate. But for now, at least you can see a lot more of the links to your website.
