My Absolute unique visits gone down drastically. My auv few days ago was approx 700 and today its approx 50. Please advice what needs to be done. Further the number of indexed pages were approx 450 and now it is approx 300. I never used any kind of black hat techniques for my website. Please advice what needs to be done to retain the original position.

If they're genuinely not interested...
Improve the quality of your content?
Statistics-collection seems to be fine?
That's about as helpful as we can be. It doesn't seem like your statistics-collection is down, as you're still picking up visitors.
Check your error/access logs for odd/unexpected messages...
You may want to check access logs, and be sure that people aren't being turned away as a result of errors, or missing documents either.

If a single issue dropped your visitors from 700 to 50 in a day, then look for an extremely prevalent item in your log files. You will see a couple funny requests here and there, but those generally aren't something to be worried about. Look for something that shows up frequently.

bhavi, you need to handle these missing url's. Provide a 404 page that asks the user to provide some information, like where they came from, and what they were expecting to see.

"winpossible.com/lessons/%4%" will not get you 404, it's a bad request. So you'll need to handle more than just 404s.

True, o.k.w. Don't limit yourself to 404's.

@bhavi - it doesn't matter if you submit a page for crawling or not, if Google can reach it from a link, Google will crawl it. If it finds a lot of missing pages, you'll lose search ranking. Since it doesn't seem like this is programming related, I'd suggest you start asking on a webmaster site like digitalpoint or sitepoint.

@bhavi - it's also possible that some of your backlinks have been pulled (by blogs, directories, other sites, whatever). You can check this by doing a "site:http://www.winpossible.com/" at Yahoo. Doing the same at Google will tell you the # of high quality backlinks you have, which seem very low.
