my site had around 2 million site: operator results till 1 week back, my site had seen steady rise in site: operator results for last few months, although we did suffer from May Day..... but for the last 1 week, we are witnessing a steady decline in site:domain results,... as of now site:domain shows only 541,000 results..... my competitors site: declined for few days but now it is stronger than ever.... one of my competition site had only 585,000 pages only a back, now it is showing around 850,000

the other competitive sites are also not showing any sign of decline in site:domain results....

although our site:domain pages declined, we have not witnessed any drastic fall in traffic? could it be the reason that they were all supplementary pages and are now not part of google index?....

is anyone of you also witnessing similar drastic decline in site: operator result?


furthermore,

site:domain with filter for 24 hours is showing around ONLY 25-30 pages being indexed every day although we are a PR6 site and among world's top 60,000 site.

Hello epmaniac, and welcome to the forums.

Over recent months there have been quite a few reports in this forum about seeing site: operator results fall and shift around in ways that are confounding. The important question is whether your Google search traffic is changing - and as you noticed, the most common answer is "no".

So what we are seeing is probably just an artifact of how Google generates those site: numbers. The publicly available reporting functions have never been all that dependable, and since the new Caffeine infrastructure went live, it's been even crazier. See these threads for more:
