No, you're confused, it's "Say Thorin, open window - say Thorin, carry
me, say Thorin, go East" and presto! You're out of the Google Sandbox!
Oh no, sorry, that was the Goblin's Dungeon. Easy mistake,  though!

I can't be bothered to look either.

They may well count for nothing anyway if Google has identified the
sites you purchased the links from as being a link sales site, and
nulled them accordingly.

Or it could just be a glitch. See how it is in three months.

Yahoo, etc? Actually, thinking about it, it wouldn't be a bad thing if
you told us where (generally) you bought the links from, sites or
directories. Some directories are said by some to be ok, and others
have their doubts, if you look at my page you'll see links to lists of
directories that I think are ok, www.kruse.co.uk/linkpop.htm and if
you look here
http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/article.php/2160301

one of those same lists gets kind of damned by faint praise. So you
gotta decide for yourself what it is you gotta do, as they say.
