Pages in index slashed

any idea?

[flex55]

Last month, I've had my site on the index with many pages, traffic was great, and life were good.
To make things even nicer, April's deep crawl seemed to take twice the pages I had in the index (all new and uniqe pages). At that time, the yet-unborn "dominic" was supposed to be a good surprise for me...

Then comes dominic.
PR stayed the same. Backlinks dropped, but based on GG's comments, I wasn't alarmed by that.
However, pages in the index were slashed- I have now 1/10 of the number of pages I had in the index on April.
That led to cutting the traffic down as well.
And all that, even though google's April deep-crawled was 2x than the pages i had in the index on April.

No spam whatsoever that I'm aware of. None. All is legit.

Can anyone toss an explenation or so?

Do some searches on the latest threads here, and also look at the Dominic summary on the front page. Lets put it this way...this has been a topic of much discussion in the past 3 weeks.

flex55,

If you read through the many "Dominic update" threads, you'll find that many others (myself included) are in the same situation as yourself, ie, some or all pages from their site have gone missing.

My opinion is that when this process is complete, the missing pages will be back in the index.
