OK

I tried it. The counter in the database is incrementing (I think it's the 
counter). There's only one entry in the table for my system.

I used the backlinks on each of the two pages above - the backlink on 
mythosweb.gr I used twice.

So, whatever behaviour you're seeing is not what I'm seeing.
