My pages are slowly being deindexed from google. No warnings from webmaster tools... Is there any way I can find out what pages were deindexed? Traffic significantly dropped because of this.

Site is around 6 months old. I update content everyday. Backlinks are mostly from services here at BHW.

hmmm
did you buy a white hat services? or black hat?
which one did you buy? bulk backlinks?

there is always reason why it dropped,
 
26000 indexed

well, I am more interested what black hat techniques u are using...
 
Which services have you used, would be first place to start.
 
How many pages have you had indexed in total, and how many have been dropped from index so far?

Mostly black hat. Mix of diversity links and PBN. I've spread out the purchases until now.

Are your pages thin-content?

It's a tube website. Most videos have a custom description. All titles are unique and all videos are unique

26000 indexed

Mostly PBN links, diversity, and web 2.0

See the image. Peak index was 49 000 I think, now around 26 000
 
If I had to guess I'd probably say google thinks they are thin or have too much internal duplicate content. I'm actually in the middle of mass page website myself so wouldn't mind taking a look if you want to pm me :)

That's a good guess. I think I am having errors with canonical urls. Would this be a problem? I'll have to PM you after the day job.
 
OP, how do you handle such large volume pages?! I guess you are not using Wordpress?

I am very interested what this website is about... because if you hire writer to write content for u, okay, apparently it is not this case...

It is an adult tube website. I am thinking there are a lot of pages because of the tags used for each video. I do not use WordPress.

So its a "tube" site, must be thin content or at least intend to get "thin" attack from Google.
 
I think it's normal to have those - it depends on your content actually. A good piece of content with 1000+ words and has good amount of engagement with the reader would rank indefinitely, while a thin content may get deindexed once other key algorithm takes effect.
Otherwise, a good amount of contextual links (even from automated link building tools), would get a moderate piece of content indexed for a fair amount of time no doubt.
 
Any messages in WMT? Especially manual penalties.

Looks like Panda is after you.

That's way too many pages for 6 months old site btw imo.
