Why do my backlinks increase and decrease?

I am on here a lot reading and making comments of some of the things I know a little bit about because of what I have done but some things happen that just make no sense to me at all. About a month or so ago I stopped writing new articles to post because I am working on adding a 20 page section to my web site. I would still go onto some of the forums I read and comment on and did find one new forum to visit. When I stopped writing I only had about 80 backlinks showing up on the 3 backlink checkers I normally use other than checking on TT. I checked all the time when I was writing to see if i was getting more backlinks and would get a few here and there but for the last month I would only check one time a week then in the last 2 weeks I went from about 80 backlinks to about 180 and I sure don't know why. This happened one other time when I found a new blog to read and comment on and got like 900 back links in 3 days but they were all from the same site and as time went on most of them vanished, I think there was something going on wrong with that site but even at that I haven't made any comments for about a week before all these new links showed up. So here again is something I don't understand. Why and how did this happen. The biggest reason for wanting to know is because if the links all stay I want to do it again and again to get even more links. My original 80 links pretty much came one at a time and all from sites with at least a page rank of 5 or higher but these new ones I haven't had a chance to check out where they are coming from yet. Just a little information for others to ponder as to what happened and why.
