    Hi Guys,
    I would need some advice on my directory at www.nznp.com
    It used to have a PR of 4 and had over 600k pages indexed with Google. Now after the recent PR update it dropped to PR0 and has currently just over 3k pages indexed.
    The only big change I had was a complete re-design of the site a few months ago. Googlebot is spidering daily and webmaster tools on Google sitemap doesn't show any major problems apart from a handful missing pages. I have no idea what's gone wrong on this one.
    Thanks for your help!

    Yes, I imported many of dmoz health related sites when I started. The directory has nearly 6k categories and each sites listing has 3 seperate pages.

    Sounds like google spotted your dmoz clone and nuked it. Don't think you can do anything.
