Yesterday our site had a page rank of 5, today not ranked.

All pages on our site as of today are showing current page is not ranked by google, we have been page rank 5 for about 4 years now, we still seem to be showing in google searches. Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Zack10 are you ranking on other terms still or is it just this kw?

Ignore PR for now...
The important question is; are you still ranking for your keyword terms? Has site visitors gone down today?
Looks like you need to put some of your effort into building some new (quality) links and making your link profile look much more natural.
Sometimes its easy to analyse what went wrong instead of moving forwards and getting back into a position of authority. Focus yourself and think of some ideas for link baiting aswell as creating some great content - get this on your own site as well as looking for relevant sites to host some articles for you (with links back obviously).

Best advice would be to clean up as much bad linking as you possibly can during the next 60 days, then submit a reconsideration request to Google, with as much detail as you can give about what you think you were doing wrong, and the steps you have taken to clean it up.
Hopefully your SERPs stay put, however, with the cleaup you've already been doing and will continue to do, you may well see rankings drop.. they could be propped up on some of this linking which has, as yet, sailed under the Peguin algorithm change radar.
The best way to combat this effect is to get some real quality linking underway, using the some of the content marketing strategies discussed in recent posts on the SEOmoz blogs and elsewhere in the wider SEO community too. It's time for us all to do the things we know we should've been doing all along!
This YouMoz post about content marketing by Toby Murdock from a couple of days ago is a great place to start.

Hi, yes we have been removing bad links for about 3 months now, but seems strange to go from a pr5 to not ranked in 1 day, do you think this is fixable?
-
You lost a whole lot of low quality backlinks through Feb and March, Panda related I assume.
Appears you lost a PR5 sitewide (paid link?) this month too.
You also appear to have a whole lot of exact match footer links on completely unrelated sites, possibly the result of a template sponsorship scheme? A potential banana skin for paid link penalties and/or Penguin.
Your anchor text profile as a whole is a pretty unnatural..
820 links from 273 domains - wholesale
503 links from 156 domains - wholesale clothing
118 links from 94 domains - ebay
...then a bunch more.. then way down..
85 links from 22 domains - http://www.wholesaleclearance.co.uk/
10 links from 9 domains - wholesale clearance
It's probably more likely to be the paid link stuff that's resulted in the loss of toolbar pagerank, but that's a guess. Just wanted to highlight a few key parts of your backlink profile.

Site name in page title - leave it or remove it?
Hi all, Recently came across some authority blog (quicksprout to be precise) which stated that apart from main page, contact page, about us and some other generic pages, site name should be removed as it might produce duplicate content. example "How to blog | Example Site name" This mostly is the issue with tags and categories pages as it shows on Moz issues. Is that really a problem and site name should be taken off them? Thank you.

Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?
I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Competitor Out Ranks My Site
Hi This is my first question on SEOMoz and I am confused how a competitor can out rank me for a local search term SEO Tamworth. I have a higher Page Authority, Domain Authority, Number of links etc.. Would this be down to the quality of the links to my site or could it be down to the structure. I score an A for SEO on the on page analysis. Regards James

Opinions please on Duplicate page titles & too many on-page links warnings.-
Hello folks, I'm a total SEO newbe but totally enjoying
On-Page Optimization | | CSC
using SEOmoz to learn more. We have ecommerce sites and the 1st crawl flags – as appears typical too many on-page links. We display up to 20 products (each with three links!)
and I’m trying to push to have fewer but meeting resistance from colleagues.
We have links duplicated all over the site believing it eases navigation. My question is just how critical is the number of products displayed
and the resulting volume of links to SEO results? Also we currently have collections of products displayed
across several pages which of course have the same page title and this is flagged
as a duplication error. I wonder if product auto-scrolling help as this means only a certain number of products are displayed at one time on one page thus reducing links and the need for duplicate page titles? My superiors are resisting change (perhaps nervous of spoiling
what already works) and I need to know where to direct my persuasive powers! Many thanks in anticipation, Spence0 -
How to fix duplicate page content and page titles?
Apologies in advance if this has already been answered (it probably has) - I'm just not seeing it. Is there a guide on here for how to fix the issues brought up by the crawler - specifically, things like duplicate page content, or duplicate page titles? A lot of these seem to have been created by wordpress.org combos that I didn't anticipate - i.e., category pages, author pages, etc. The crawler brings up the problems, but I don' t know where to start to go about fixing them. Also, any guide on best SEO practices or fixing optimization problems, specifically for wordpress.org blogs, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
