I believe you could find your answers in the fact that you are building links artifically and therefore filtered / penalized / sandboxed....whatever you want to call it.

No offense, but you really should do a bit more research before making broad assumptions like that. If you did a little research you could have easily found the topic i am referring to and seen why it would travel so quickly around the net.

In the mid 90s when the net was being built... most websites did not gather 100 links in a year....you managed to grab 100 in one day?

Yes.

1. This is not the 90s. In the 90s blogs and rss were not nearly as popular and tightnit communities who spread the word about new and good content were not as developed. Therefore news did not travel as fast.

2. I guess you are unfamiliar with spyware and how quickly a new one can hit the internet community. A new rogue antispyware app was released...i wrote the first removal guide and let people know about it. The antimalware community is very close knit, and I have a good reputation in it, so now I had hundreds of people who are active on blogs, forums, and security sites posting about my guide.

Thousands of people were already infected, so when my guide cleaned them, they posted about it. When the antimalware community found someone with this infection they referred them to my guide. Therefore, yes, I had 100s of links in a very short time...quite legitimately.

It's a snowball effect and is actually, in my opinion, the most legitimate way a link should get indexed quickly and with high page rank.

Word of mouth due to high demand is unbeatable. That is before BD messed me up.

Next, Google does not update links that often, I found it takes them almost 10 weeks to update link counts due to others building artifical links...viscous cycle ...

Not sure what bearing this has on anything. A link that gets high exposure should get indexed and ranked quickly. It always has in the past.

That's just my opinion thoug

Guess your opinion was wrong in this particular case. As you like to say...I am a bit blunt at times.
