I exchange links as always, in steady and rational manner, no "million links" added, just joined Dgitalpoint Ad network on August 8.... Can it be a reason?
the ad network certainly *could* be a reason - i'm not a member so I've got no first-hand knowledge there... but in general - if i've learned anything about SEO over the past several years its this: all numbers are relative and approximate at best, and should be viewed over long periods of time. track that on more of a monthly basis and then you can give more confidence to what you are seeing occur. small tweaks and fluctuations in the engine or random other factors can impact things on a daily basis. at a minimum try and look week-to-week.

I saw a drop on one of mine too. This is why I only have sites that are not overly important in the coop.
Do you think thousands of links it is "small tweaks"? And I see that in Yahoo links are also going down
maybe I am too panic but I start thinking of deleting my site from the coop... don't want to risk. and I still see no clicks from the coop, probably 2-3 days is not enough...
