I launched a site about a month ago and had done a press release. As of last Friday, Google was showing over 25K links coming to my site. All of a sudden that has dropped to Google now showing less than 800 links coming to my site. Not sure if it is becuase of this but SEO traffic from Google to my site plummeted as soon as Google started showing only 800 links coming in.
Is this normal? What causes this? Is there a way to get Google to recognize those links again?

This is very normal for new sites. You might want to do a search on this forum for "aging delay".

The Google "link:" operator only shows a selection of the links they know about. Google Webmaster Tools is more complete, but still doesn't show everything.
There is no way in Google to know for sure all the links they "count" in your favor.
In other words, fluctuations in the reported number of links in Google mean nothing except that they've decided to show you a different sample of your links than they did before.

Press release links are generally low quality (anyone can get a press release approved) and they can give you a temporary popularity boost, but as news scrolls away and is replaced by new news, your links go with it.

So where did the thousands of links come from in the first place?

A lot of websites display newsfeeds- but only the current newsfeed. So, as soon as your release was no longer at the top of the list, all those temporary newsfeed links disappeared.
