    Looking at it all seems OK, maybe change the metatags in admin, you still have the default ones.

    Have you checked Webmasters Tools for any problems??

    I recently built a template for someone (overce.com) he installed it and he went on holiday, when he came back no PR and no links in Google.
    Seems to me that Google are hitting directories.

    Based on what you've told us, it sounds like you bought high PR links to your directory. It would also appear that Google figured out what you were doing and slapped you for trying to game their system.

    You have 1 link in a directory claiming to have launched in 2009?

    Perhaps you should read some of the stickies in this section of DP and work on all the things you are doing wrong.

    An undeveloped directory is a poor quality website and Google treated you as such. You should have developed your database for a year before going public. That's how quality directories are built.

    Where did you check your back links? Did you use any tool? How old is your directory? Last when your directory PR changed? 2 months, 3 months ago? If your directory pr was changed 3 months ago and it become pr 0 now then there is no problem. Create some new back links.

    The background color! I intended to submit my website but I give up because the bright yellow bg color hurt my eyes. And green text on that?

    What kind of checker you are using perhaps it is not reliable sometimes the results may vary from the software or to the tools that we are using.

    I'd worry less about PR and more about content.

    I don't see any sites listed in your directory.

    You have an empty directory, a standard category structure. No category descriptions, no content. Google is one smart cookie and has allocated "no value" to your site until you put some work into it.

    Its Best to Have Good Contents on your Directory that can get people coming back to it than bothering about getting a pagerank. My Directory Pagerank isn't high but i keep being on Google's first page for some related Keywords even above several high profile website and directories.
