steveb certainly has a point, but he pushes it too hard.

something is going on with some pages called /links.* , but that is only one part of the equation.

If you look at the pages that do not show up as backlinks, you will notice that they are are simply a big long list of links. There is very little additional content there. The ones that do show up all seem to have additional information about those links.

None of them seem to be list of *only* reciprocal links. There are links to other sites, and seem to be set up as a true resource for users.

Now, you can just go ahead and change the name, but if google decides that they keep wanting to go in this direction, don't you think that they will expand it beyond /links.* out to look at all pages that appear to display this behavior?

Instead of just renaming your page, why not fix your page so it will survive in the future too?
