For sites that can obtain this pace of growth, the reputation must be high
(e.g. Slashdot, Plone). If the site is obscure and does not have a high
PageRank, this can easily be spotted/flagged by a machine as blackhat SEO
and then passed on to an engineer to ban.

Needless to say, it is unethical, illegal and abhorrent, beyond being just
"a waste of time". (no criticism of you, Carol, whatsoever; Just a
clarification)

There are sites that receive many links quite naturally because they provide
a 'stamped' tool, e.g. LaTeX2HTML, phpBB and Mambo. The links are quite
necessary for attracting future supporters who follow these links. The
PageRank and effect on SERP's is probably less important.

What is the nature of the inbound links that the OP had created? I think
therein lies the answer, unless something else that's questionable
occurred, either knowingly or unknowingly.
