getting 30 links per day is spam

well, if that is the scheme, I am doomed! I have set up a huge file sales site, getting around 5-10 new merchants every day (independent musicians, authors, ebay image hosters, etc.)...

so, my site grows with around 1000 pages daily. sometimes good unique stuff, sometimes just a few new songs with 1 line description...

All merchants link to their products, sometimes with 100 or more incoming links per day. I was expecting a jump from PR6 to 8 in the next update.

I have spotted around 500 scraper sites of my content.

Today my site dropped from over 3M pages to below 300.000 pages in the G index.

I understand, that some pages are not worth being listed, especially if it is a photo of the latest biker meeting in montana...

But this drop is connected to some serious changes Google is up to. I am sorry, that I get up to 100 incoming links daily.

P!
