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?

[riplash]

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.
