Why is this site have a PR 0 rank? Anyone can figure this out? LegionSafety.com
-
Our site dropped in PR and we haven't done anything and not sure why the drop. Anyone have any recommendations?
-
Thank you everyone for the suggestions! I will reoptomize the content and start link building. I was looking at the directory list here but most of them are complete garbage! Any recommendations?

These guys are absolutely correct. I will add that a few minor details -
I would venture to guess you saw your SERPs and PR drop sometime around mid-March, correct? This is how I know that:

Look at that spike... about half of your total links were added in a matter of a few days. That's a huge red flag and Penguin will snatch that up like... whatever penguins eat. (?)
That said, you have very few links in the first place coming to your site leaving little to no opportunity to build PR. Start link building! Avoid black hat. Keep reading these forums and the SEO beginners guide here. Optimize your pages. Start a blog. Figure out what penguins eat. Do it up! For whatever reason the links you have all come from just a few select domains. Get more domains with less links from each. When Google sees 600 links coming from the same domain they get all frowny-faced.
These are but a few tips to help you. Good luck, and have fun! SEO is supposed to be fun! (no it isn't, but I think it is.)
-
You don't have any links from high authority sites. Focus on getting good links, and your PageRank will go up.
-
Looking at your profile, looks like you built a bunch of spammy links. If you had PR previously, then you were probably hit with a penalty. Check your GWT for a letter.
I recommend doing some serious link removal.

Moving site to new domain without access to redirect from old to new. How can I do this with as little loss to SERP results as possible?
I've been hired to build a new site for a customer. They were duped by some shady characters at goglupe.com (If you can reach them, tell them they are rats--phone is disconnected, address is a comedy club on Mission in SF). Glupe owns the domain name and would not transfer or give FTP access prior to dropping off the face of the earth. The customer doesn't want to chase after them with lawyers, so we are moving on. New domain, new site with much of the same content as previous site. All that I have access to is the old wordpress site. I plan to build the new site, then remove all pages/posts from the old site. Is there anything I can do to salvage the current page 1 ranking? Obviously, the new domain will take some time to get back there. Just hoping to avoid any pitfalls or penalties if I can. If I had complete access, I would follow all the standard guidelines. But I don't. Any thoughts? Thanks! Chris

Baffled why my site is not improving in rankings.
Site shows up in the Map results when ever Google shows them. But for all other organic terms site ranks way back. Have lots of unique content and one page grade of an A. The site is http://alexpadillabailbonds.com The main page is optimized for "sacramento bail bonds" with a Moz grade of A yet its not included in the search results. It was before. Any insight from any one will greatly help. Thanks.

Site revamp for neglected site - modifying site structure, URLs and content - is there an optimal approach?
A site I'm involved with, www.organicguide.com, was at one stage (long ago) performing reasonably well in the search engines. It was ranking highly for several keywords. The site has been neglected for some considerable period of time. A new group of people are interested in revamping the site, updating content, removing some of the existing content, and generally refreshing the site entirely. In order to go forward with the site, significant changes need to be made. This will likely involve moving the entire site across to wordpress. The directory software (edirectory.com) currently being used has not been designed with SEO in mind and as a result numerous similar pages of directory listings (all with similar titles and descriptions) are in google's results, albeit with very weak PA. After reading many of the articles/blog posts here I realize that a significant revamp and some serious SEO work is needed. So, I've joined this community to learn from those more experienced. Apart from doing 301 redirects for pages that we need to retain, is there any optimal way of removing/repairing the current URL structure as the site gets updated? Also, is it better to make changes all at once or is an iterative approach preferred? Many thanks in advance for any responses/advice offered. Cheers MacRobbo

How can I improve my rankings in Google with help of seomoz
Hey guys, I have joined seomoz today and set up campaigns for my sites. I got reports about keyword rankings, errors, notices etc. But I am still confused about how to use seomoz in order to improve my rankings. My point is does seomoz provides any services for improving position in google or simply seomoz provides only reporting? These reports are good but my ultimate goal to join seomoz is to improve my rankings for my each website and each post. Please help. BJ

Can't find my site on Bing, since ages
Hi Guys, Well, the problem seems normal but I guess it's not. I have tried many things, and nothing changed it, now I give it last try... ask so maybe you will help me. The problem is.. I can't find my site nowhere in Bing, I mean nowhere by not in first 20 pages for my keywords "beauty tips" and the site is: http://www.beauty-tips.net/. In my opinion it should be pretty high... maybe it's too high so I can't see it ;). I never had special problems with Bing, was easier to be there "somewhere" than in google, but with this one is totally opposite. Any ideas? Thanks for your time!
