    I still have rankings, (slowly been increasing over the past 3 months).... the site went from PR3 to PR0 and that has me very spooked. Should I be worried?

    you might have been linking to some bad neighborhoods such as link farms etc...

    I think that either you did excessive link building or exchanged links from bad neighbors :(

    Bad luck - you have to let go of the page rank and focus on placements

    this must be due to over optimization like the same anchor text etc ,.

    Glad to know I'm not the only one this happened to. My site went from a PR2 to a PR0 about a month ago. Have no reason why. Still kept the ranks in the seach engines I had before though.
