I was so surprise to check my webmaster, i saw that i got 379 backlinks from one website. I have never linked to that the website. Is it that webmaster stat is not correct or does anyone know how i manage to get the backlinks?

    It is likely that you have a site-wide backlink from this site, probably found in its footer or side bar. If this was a paid link, you may be on its "blog roll." If it was not a site-wide link, you may have the most recent comment, or something similar. As long as you didn't do anything too dark, I wouldn't sweat it.

      I didn't pay for the links and i build my links manually. So i have very sure i didn't do anything..

        Do you do blog commenting for links? Add your site to directories?

        Either of those things can temporarily trigger something like that if the site has a "recent comments" type of plugin running in the sidebar or "newly added sites" in the case of a directory. Google just happened to crawl the site when your link was showing in the sidebar.

        It will correct itself the next time Google visits the site.

    Like Mike said, recent comments on a sidebar. No big deal, the links will fade away as other people make new comments & bump you off the latest comments list.
