---- Sudden drop in traffic - but still in first position

Last Sunday was a stellar day but every day since then traffic has dropped off gradually to the tune of 50% in 7 days. I just came to the forums to look this up too. No changes made to the site though I did notice one of the primary keywords now displays over 121 million results pages when it was only 68 million last week... my position didn't move (from my locations anyway).

edit: I should add that it's Google traffic only that is changed on my site and it's apparently the long tail keywords that I've lost, not the primary keywords. Makes sense given the doubling of serps for that particular keyword.
