Losing number of indexed pages fast

    Hello,
    I've been seeing some strange behaviour in Google for the last month or so.
    I have a large website (no spam, no duplicate content etc)
    For the last year Google indexed it very well, and number of inexed pages raised to over 4 mln.

    Recently (for the last month) the number of indexed pages dropped to nearly 2 mln (and is still dropping every day) and what's worst - it's affecting number of visits.

    I checked sitemap stats at the webmasters console and the numbers are almost the same (google is showing the same number with site: and with indexed pages in the console)

    Has anyone been seeing the same situation with your websites?
    I've seen some other websites losing pages but I haven't found any discussion on it.

    I'm wondering if this is "normal" and have to wait or should i start thinking of doing something with it so I don't end up with my site deindexed..

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    you will not get fully deindexed. probably google are cleaning there indexes and keeping the most relevant pages.

    Hello,
    Check out your indexed pages in different Google Servers, sometime they show you a number in one server and another number in other server. Try to get more incoming links to your inner pages or subcategories pages..

    My 2 cents,
