Judging by peoples views, the sites that have dropped to #6 seem to be mature sites (in my case anyway), the sort of 'old man' resting at #1 with backlinks that are 3 or 4 years old....

Perhaps it could be that newer sites are gaining 'fresher' backlinks through reciprocal linking and that the 'age' or 'trust' of a link is being given less weighting?
