    My site had around 900 pages indexed by Google according to webmaster tool.
    However, in the past two month, it is slowly decreasing to around 500 pages now.

    Does anyone know why or experience similar situation?

    Thanks for any insight!

    One of mine went from a couple thousands to around 400 recently in the search results not webmaster tools. Not sure if that means they were actually indexed or Google is just messing with me.

    as far as i know that's normal.. but you can help bots to crawl and index your site more often by continues gathering some links..

    Decreasing indexed pages is only natural. I suggest that you should check the number of your backlinks every month and not everyday.
