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.

I have two sitemaps which partly duplicate - one is blocked by robots.txt but can't figure out why!
Hi, I've just found two sitemaps - one of them is .php and represents part of the site structure on the website. The second is a .txt file which lists every page on the website. The .txt file is blocked via robots exclusion protocol (which doesn't appear to be very logical as it's the only full sitemap). Any ideas why a developer might have done that?

After Receiving a "Googlebot can't access your site" would this stop your site from being crawled?
Hi Everyone,
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | AMA-DataSet
A few weeks ago now I received a "Googlebot can't access your site..... connection failure rate is 7.8%" message from the webmaster tools, I have since fixed the majority of these issues but iv noticed that all page except the main home page now have a page rank of N/A while the home page has a page rank of 5 still. Has this connectivity issues reduced the page ranks to N/A? or is it something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance.0 -
My site was a PR 5 and now is unranked?
A site that I do SEO and SMM (www.corporatecomplianceinsights.com) had a PR 5 and now it shows "unranked". I had the #1 position for many core keywords, and now they are all gone. I don't do any black hat at all. Mostly article distribution and onsite content growth. The only logical thing that I can think of is, the server was going down several times a day, for about 3 days, a few weeks ago. But I can imagine that would cause me to lose all my rankings, and a PR 5. But then again, this has never happened to me before. I am trying to find out what caused this, how to fix the problem, and how long it will take to recover. Any suggestions or help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to pay for good advice on this issue if need be. JT
