Hum I was wondering if a menu on 800 pages that appear on the web at the same time would be too fast of a growth and create a little down in rankings for search engines, as for the flat earth...

Interesting.. I find that no pages contained on my main left hand menu bar or my "directory" pages (internal/external link lists) have gone URL only, while sub pages (single topic pages linked from the main pages) have gone. A few were left-over doorway style (but return linked and with nav bar), but most were not.
Perhaps the linking plays a part, but it's still not too clear.
Using the narrowest set of keywords that should logically bring my site in first position, the Google Directory page where my site is listed still comes up first in all three sets.
I'm getting more traffic than usual from the Google Directory page, because people looking for my site can't find it anymore.
QUESTION:
My site isn't completely dropped, it still comes up with "allinachor" - but in checking this I found something bizarre...
Get this.
I googled "allinanchor: helleborine 's free widget plans," and 4 other site come up.
These 4 other sites sell books, electronics and other krapp.
Why do they come up in a search for "allinanchor: helleborine's free widget plans?"
Naturally, I checked the source code.
Here's what I found:
These terms only appear in links pointing to this page: <B>allinanchor helleborine free widget plans </B>
Is this EVIL? What is this? Is it common?
Could this be the cause of my drop in rankings?
HELP!
Sticky me if you must.
