Only negatively evaluated in search results. We've seen a definite flattening of some terms, and we are trying to figure out why - speed seems to be the only thing that would/could have changed.

I guess my concern is not the number - I'm MORE concerned with our site being negatively evaluated because of it. Any thoughts here?

It says "highly accurate", with thousands of data points. Is that how it works - off the Google Toolbar?

The problem is that we're a flash site, in order to play audio, and we have ads. There's just nothing we can do to get around that.

We're constantly on the lookout for site speed, and Google's Webmaster tools are saying that we're really really slow (on the order of 5-15 seconds per page). But the site NEVER feels that slow, and lots of other tools say we're in the 3-5 second range. Further, we've implemented literally 100% of Google's suggestions, and all we have are ad units that now render using Googles Async ad loader, further reducing time to interactivity.

Could Google be dinging us in search results for this? Here's an example page that they said loaded in 200+ seconds (!?!)

Thanks!

I think you may still be misunderstanding. I went to the page tab you showed, and here were the results:

| Internal Followed Links | 242 |
| Internal Nofollow Links | 2 |
| External Followed Links | 4 |
| External Nofollow Links | 1 |

However, that's obviously measuring links on this page to other pages. I'm looking for links TO this page, to measure the success of this page, and it's all zeros. However, this is plainly not the case - there's a link from the home page to this page. That's the bug I'm talking about.
