What am i missing?
-
I compare my competitors and i am always higher than others (Domain authority, Page authority, Page mozrank, page moztrust, domain mozrank, domain moztrust). But some queries i am under these sites. What is the problem or how can i beat them?
P.S. : I am the newest website among them. (E-commerce and my domain register date: january 2013)

It could be the difference in your on-page optimization. Have you checked competiton vs. your pages with the http://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader yet?

I agree with Arjen and Keri for the most part. However, I have seen the same phenomenon you are describing. While I would definitely take a long hard look at the quality of the content and probably even the technical SEO aspects of your pages, if all other things are equal it's very likely your competitors will still outrank you based on the age of their domains. If they have been established and in business for significantly longer than you, with an online presence for significantly longer than you, it's going to be an uphill climb to outrank them. Hope that helps!

Google, Yahoo, Moz, and a bunch of other sites all have much higher stats than my site. Yet none of them are optimized for or care about scale model battleships, so my little site can outrank them. You do need to look at what is on your site too.

Domain authority, Page authority, Page mozrank, page moztrust, domain mozrank and domain moztrust all are indicators for offsite SEO. If you outperform your competitors on all of these and you do not outrank them in the SERPs, I would suggest you have a closer look at your on site SEO.

Ranking at 2 and 3 for a Desired Keyword - But Missing #1
I have a keyword I usually rank #1 for "Maui Beach Wedding" that I am now ranking 2 and 3 for with two separate pages below: My home page: https://simplemauiwedding.net and the below internal page I am linking from my home page that I really want that term to rank for. https://simplemauiwedding.net/beach-wedding-packages What is the best way to pass the authority from one to another for this particular keyword. I want this URL https://simplemauiwedding.net/beach-wedding-packages to rank for the term, not my home page which has a link pointing to this page from my home page which I was hoping would point the authority to it for the term. What are some other ways to signal which page I prefer Google to pick up for the keyword I want to rank for? Thanks

How Much Does a Missing www. 301 redirect hurt a business?
We're preparing a report for a potential client, and are trying to figure out a way to estimate rankings gains. One of the major issues is a lack of a 301 redirect for non-www. domains to www. domains. We checked and there's no canonicalization, so it's a clear issue. According to Google, the non-www. links from 8 different domains. The www. version of the website has links from 248 different domains. Nearly all anchor text is branded, as they've never had any SEO work done before. Does anyone have a suggestion for approximating benefits of setting up their .htaccess file correctly? Would the benefits even be that great? We're of course advising additional things, but we just want to be more certain about this step's SEO-boost.

My SEO Moz crawl today has highlighted for errors where page titles are empty missing. For example: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-entertainment/wedding-entertainment-kent This page clearly has a title as do the other 3. Is it a bug in the system or am I missing something?

Title tags missing
I have noticed that some of my title tags have been altered (by Google?) on the SERP. I am only showing the keywords on some listings, not the full title tags that I wrote, this is happening to our competitors as well. Any idea what is going on, one of my clients is looking for answers! Thanks

Recreate missing pages or just use 301 redirect?
Hi, on the Competitive Comparison section of the "link analysis" page the top 5 sites are linking to pages on my site that no longer exist. I'm wondering if it is worthwhile to recreate these pages that no longer exist or if I should just use a 301 redirect to some page on my site that has related info. Thanks for your suggestions.
