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.

What I feel here is that I would be sacrificing my rank for "Secondary Keyword"

Understanding why our new page doesn't rank. Internal link structure to blame? + understand canonical pages more.
Hi guys. Sorry it's an essay...BUT, i think a lot of you will find this an interesting question. This question is in 2 (related) parts, and I imagine it would be an 'advanced' SEO question. Hoping you guys can help bring some real insight 🙂 Always amazed at the quality for this forum/ community. **Context... ** We had a duplicate content issue caused by this page and it's product permutations, so we placed canonical tags on all the product permutations to solve it. Worked a treat. However, we now have more **product ranges. **We now sell Diaries, Notebooks & Music books, which are clearly different from one another. So...we've placed canonical tags on all the product permutations leading back to the 'parent' theme. In other words, all the diary permutations 'lead back' to the diary page. All the notebooks permutations 'lead back' to the main notebook page. So on and so forth. Make sense so far? Context end..... Issue. Amazingly our Diary page outranks our notebook pagefor the search term 'Design your own Notebook'. The notebook page is well optimised for this search term, and the diary page avoids the word 'notebook' altogether (so no keyword cannibalisation going on). Possible reason? Our Diary page has a vast amount of internal links to it throughout our site. The notebook page has only a few. Could this be the issue? If so, what reading/ blogs/ content/ tools would you recommend to help understand and solve this problem? i.e) Better understanding internal link structure for SEO. 2nd part of the question (in the context of internal linking for SEO). When there are internal links to a page with a conical tag does that 'count' towards the 'parent page', or simply towards that specific page? I really hope that makes sense. If it's clear as mud just shout. Isaac. EDIT: All pages in question have been indexed since we added these changes to the site.

Should we consider redirecting a high ranking subdomain page to our homepage?
My site bluecotton.com sells custom printed t-shirts. Our DA is 46. Our homepage is PA 55. The design studio is where users create their designs. Over the years the design studio has received a lot of fan fair including links from gizmodo and adobe. When I rank against our biggest competitors customink, ooshirts, uberprints.com I find that our domain as a whole doesn't look all that great. However, when I look at the history of our subdomain I see that we are more trusted and credible than all of our competitors. We have 10k links pointing to the design studio. Here is my question. What if I did 301 redirect of bluecotton.com/studio.html to bluecotton.com? Then I created a new url for the DS. This would not cause users any problems. In fact for many they would get more context around what we are trying to do and what we offer. Is this crazy? I never find results in google for the design studio. It always shows our home. That is pretty much what happens to all of our competitors on the higher traffic terms that are driving real sales. So why do i ask? If my subdomain is more valuable becuase of the design studio links then I wonder if I redirected it to the homepage if it would supercharge my homepage and propel is forward in the serps. Thoughts?

Can I have a strong brand category page and a strong product page?
It seems Google base and other Comparison Shopping Engines like to see the brand in the product name. But, on my category page for that brand, website optimizer tells me including the brand name with each product is cannabilizes links. For example; I have a page for jewelerABC with 20 pieces of jewelry listed as well as original content about jewelerABC. I do not currently name these products as xyz by jewelerABC. This page comes up nicely in the serps. But in Google base The top listings for jewelry by jewelerABC seem to have every product named xyz by jewelerABC or JewelerABC xyzs. What is the best way to optimize.for both? Stephen
