Starting about a week ago, my site:www.widgets.com totals started dropping in Google. I started out with over 1500 pages and now I'm down to just over 300.

The only change that I've made recently was to switch a 302 redirect to a 301 on a page that isn't linked anywhere in my site and only showed up once in Google's listings.

I'm getting really worried. Should I be? Or is this just something that will correct itself?

Ah, thank you.

For some reason, I think I'd feel better if it'd been something I'd done wrong. Now there's nothing to do but sit back and watch my bottom line get eaten away by something I have no control over.
