 * Wonder if anyone has had this problem.
 * I’ve noticed that my backlinks are missing from my blog at
    [http://www.sustaingreenpower.com](http://www.sustaingreenpower.com)
   I let it go for a while just assuming it was one of the usual quirks with WP.
 * Well today I noticed that my Stats plugin was Inactive.
    Plugins de-activate 
   themselves from time to time, understood. I re-activated the Stats plugin, it
   asked for my WP API. I entered it and WP warns me that that API belongs to me.
   Duh.
 * It asks that I add this blog to my WP.com account _or_ replace
    it in place of
   another blog that is already registered. Strange, this particular blog was already
   registered before.
 * So I click the drop-down menu to see if maybe I want to
    replace another blog.
   WP says the blog in question is not registered, but low and behold, this blog
   _is_ included on the list that shows from the drop-down menu.
 * Supposedly, if I replace a blog this way, the newly added blog
    should inherit
   the stats of the one being replaced. Well, since the blog I’m working with is
   already on the list I figure if I pick that blog to replace it with then my stats
   will be re-instated or whatever. So, I replace my blog with the same one that
   is already in the drop-down list. _I check the stats, and it shows nothing._
 * So now all my Backlinks are mysteriously Gone, and my Stats are
    mysteriously
   gone also. Bad thing is, I paid a reputable company a _Lot_ of money to help 
   me build backlinks through article submission, posting, PR, etc. A HUGE chunk
   of money is now wasted.
 * Of course, I understand that Stuff happens. So, mainly I just
    would like to 
   know if anyone has any suggestions of what may have happened so I will know what
   to do in the future.
 * I can always start building backlinks again, but I would hate
    to have all my
   efforts and money go to waste once again.

 * Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions
    what may have caused
   the problem?
