Seeing some of the same symptoms that many have described already.

Basically, traffic started to fall off slowly starting in April, and then a major drop on April 25/26 which lasted a week. Saw a recovery of the major drop on May 1/2, and then another major drop about 12 hours ago.

I monitor all top keywords rankings and there has been very little movement, and if any, mostly positive changes. A sample check of the less popular keywords also reveal the same thing. Looking at the top search queries section of Webmaster Tools, I can't see much change comparing

However, and this is for a forum, the number of indexed pages has been continuing to drop. It is now only half of the figure that Google Webmaster Tools reports (120,000 in Webmaster Tools, versus 60,000 that site:forum.domain.com shows. In fact, I lost another 10,000 today compared to yesterday, which I guess would account for the drop in traffic coming from Google.

What's going on?
