"Just removed the anchor text on a few links that are pointing to my site that is effected, see how it goes anyway."

Good luck.

However, IMHO I think changes applied to a Web site don't have an immediate effect.

Google should be making quite difficult for Webmasters to notice which changes have a direct impact on the ranking. Otherwise, it'll be pretty easy to figure out how to game Google.
