Hi Ian,
First of all, please try to post underneath the part you are replying to.
I did see a lot of directory's and linklists go supplemental in the
results. It is a process that has started a while ago now.
Google doesn't like directory's that sell links, or exist merely on
reciprocal links.
So, if you have build your ranking upon those directory's and lists for
a great deal, you will for certainly drop in the rankings now.
Just a mere 400+ links i saw when searchin for your domain and a lot of
them marked with supplemental.
Make sure you get links from good directory's and authoritative pages
that do get the credit they deserve
