Maybe someone here can answer this.

I recently did a backlink check on a site of mine. A press release I had put out appeared on several sites. The press release originally had several links back to my site. When I visited the site holding my press release I noticed my links had been disabled.

I am wondering if those links were active at the time google went through or can the url be crawled with out a hyperlink? Should I be upset with this and contact the site owner? Has anyone encountered this before?

Google still shows a backward link, but for how long?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
