Inbound Links Skyrocket - WTH?

Okay, so I know that inbound links are a GOOD thing, but all of a sudden today, I notice (on SEO Quake) that I have over 2000 links in Site Explorer. I checked it out and 1800 of those are inbound. For some reason, I'm getting an error when I try to go to the next page, but the whole first page is one domain. But, when I look for my links on that page, I see nothing. I'm very confused. I'm wondering why these are showing up and if the sudden onslaught of backlinks is part of my Google problem (dropping off the face of the earth). Can someone take a look and see if they can explain what's going on? The domain is in my siggy. Thanks a million!

    Oh. I just had a thought. I took some advice and searched for sites with "recent comments" in the sidebar. I can't remember specifically if I added one to this site, but that might be it? Is this a good/bad thing? I WAS pretty excited to see that my wiki link got into site explorer with a PR of 6. That should be good, eh? Just need some general direction on all of this - I'm looking for reasons Google might have tanked me with this update. Is there something wrong with my site?

    Okay, found out part of my problem for getting tanked on Google. Apparently, most of my backlinks come from nofollow comments like the one I posted about above. Also, Sitemap Generator was indexing my tags and categories which shows up as duplicate content. I turned that off, but now I'm wondering if the articles I already have a screwed because their tags HAVE been indexed. And if I use the same tags for other articles, will they be indexed too, simply because the tags have been indexed? Ugh, this sucks.

    Happy birthday to me...

    More likely - it's cash problem. SeoQuake cashing data before browser reboot, to services don't ban for continius requests. It updated after system reboot, or clean cash with the key in settings. We don't recommend you to deactivate cahing, to avoid ban.
