On this site I added a text link to my main site.
Actually I am surprised that this might be the problem. Yes it's a lot of backlinks but they are both huge sites and my link is in the footer of each page.
One of the domains had 494,000 pages when doing site:domain.com in Google, the other 630,000.
Does this mean we should not get backlinks from huge blogs that will add us to every page?

It's probably one of the problems and correct it's better to not have a backlink than have one from 1000's of pages on the same domain. Why would a website link to you 100,000 times ? it's not natural. The link to domain ratio is one of the less subjective things that you can actually control when it comes to Google. Some blogs change their templates so that your link only appears once on the front page and not in the individual posts, look for those.
