are the 80% links the same anchor text, e.g 80% have anchor "hot babes" and the 20% are something else like "teen porn".
if you have 80% of your links the exact same anchor then that could be your problem. backlink profiles need to look natural, as if people have linked to your site without asking you. having nearly every inbound link exactly the same is very unnatural.
to rule this out, get some generic anchor text like, "more here" and shit like that to the diversify your backlink profile, might help rule out that.
you might find that the reason you have dropped rankings for those pages is because google has now discounted all of those inbound links for being unnatural so it is as if those links do not exist. this is a reason some sites get a sudden drop in ranks.
its really shit with google at the moment because there are soooo many things that can be wrong when you loose rankings that its nearly impossible to know where to start fixing shit.
wehateporn is correct that the best method now is to make super quality sites, best with a community as well, as google is only going to continue shitting on lower quality sites.
