My Site PR5 lost to PR4 ! I worked as per SEOmoz Suggestion - No Traffic Drop, Organic Search is good and higher than referral or Direct Traffic !

What might be the problem ? Nov 29-2012 my site was hacked very badly and google Blacklisted me for the first time and if you see now " it says, Past 90 days nearly 19 times my site was acted as medium to spread virus"

Even thought we checked our FTP, Cpanel or Home Directory - Everything seems good.

My domain which was hosted - has other domains in the same network and some are porn - those sites are injecting malicious code !

May be that's the reason or please give me some idea how to improve it !

Does it matter?

If you're ranking better and getting better traffic then why worry about your PR?

Unless you're selling links, in which case you've maybe found your problem.

TBPR is not important on its own for ranking. Don't worry about it and focus on getting more traffic instead.

Thank you ! I am Not selling links ! i can say the traffic to my blog is steady ! only thing i think so is my site Google Blacklisted sometimes !

I would start by getting myself onto a new host for starters! But as Barry said, don't worry about PR as this means absolutely nothing in terms of where you get found in the SERPs.

You know what, I tell people to ignore PR so often, I completely glossed over the server issues!

Yes, should definitely change host, though any shared hosting runs the risk of having less than desirable neighbours.

Esaky, can you be sure your site is clean?

Site is not currently listed as dodgy - http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=www.animhut.com%2F - which is good.

Worth checking for exploits anyway. Some advice here (pdf) - http://docs.apwg.org/reports/APWG_WTD_HackedWebsite.pdf

My Site is Clean for now !, but thinking to use the Seccuri !

Which Host i can Prefer ! Right now using WpWebHost !

Anyone big enough is generally fine. I've nothing against hostgator, rackspace, ukfast, etc. I'd only really stay away from GoDaddy hosting.

I use - http://www.5quidhost.co.uk/ - for a lot of sites.

I believe these guys are pretty good and run by a bunch of goons from the SA forums - http://www.lithiumhosting.com/
