        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.

          You don't have any links from high authority sites. Focus on getting good links, and your PageRank will go up.

            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:

            http://gyazo.com/11563b72dfe2acc0133b6053cbe36fa4.png?1366837791

            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.)

              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?
