Alan, please add your response on to the duplicate thread that has correct line breaks. http://www.seomoz.org/q/how-hard-could-it-be-to-outrank-a-huffington-post-article-with-pa-0-2
I'll come back and delete this thread in the morning (Seattle time) after you've had a chance to copy and paste your response so we can keep everything in just one thread.

You probably need to edit that and put it in a code block so it is readable

Forget page rank on a page - it tells you nothing.
The page is on Huffington Post - It has AOL propping it up and lots of other heavy domains linking to it.
If the page is old and is no longer linked from the front page or immediate sub-pages, it may be possible to beat it. It depends how far down you are and many more things.
It depends what keywords you are going after, so you could use the keyword analysis tool in the Research Tools section. That will give you an idea of how difficult it could be.
You can also use the SEOMoz toolbar and that will tell you how many domains and links are pointing to that page.

How on Earth are These Sites Outranking Us?
Hello all, My colleague and I have been doing a lot of work to optimise our companies site (www.allseasonshire.eu/). The project is still massively work in progress. While we've been analysing the SERPs for KW's we're trying to rank for we've noticed two sites that are outranking us and we can't work out why. The sites in question are www(dot)nationwide-boilerhire(dot)co(dot)uk & and www(dot)nationwideboilerhire(dot)com. They're both very small sites, with hardly any content and basically zero external links pointing to them. When we compare the root domains in OSE our site comes out on top on every single competitive metric as well, most of them by a long shot. I'm just wondering if anyone can help shed some light on why these two sites would be appearing so high in SERPs and why they would be outranking us? Any input anyone has is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ryan Edit: Keyword in question is 'boiler hire'. Thanks for your answer Nishadha, would that alone really be enough though?

Content: How to top the top article in my niche
Hello, The top article in my niche is http://www.webmd.com/diet/default.htm I want to write a better article on the same topic, but on a low budget. The article would be a combination of tools, top 10 diet reviews, and what I already have here. I'm a pretty good authority on the topics.

My (properly optimised) webpage outscores page#1 ranked competitors on page/domain authority ... but I'm only on page#2\. Huh?
I'm puzzled. I've optimised a particular page for a particular search term, and the SEOMoz tool gives me an A for on-page optimisation. So no problem there. I can understand why my webpage/site is being outranked by pages from (for example) the Guardian and Oxford University, but there are several sites that Google is ranking on page #1 though their page and domain scores are well below ours. Specifically: my page/domain authority scores are 46/52, compared with 22/46 for the competitor that Google is ranking #5 - yet we only rank a lowly #12. And it's not as though the particular page in question isn't an obvious and appropriate part of our site. We work with new writers and the page in question offers a selection of creative writing courses. It's not like we're a writing-related site that suddenly has a page advertising fake rolexes. It's not a timing issue either, as most of our links have been in place for a couple of years at least. So I'm puzzled. And concerned. This page of ours was a reliable revenue generator for us and it's dying out there on the page#2 wilderness. If anyone can help, I'd be massively grateful. I don't know if this is helpful, but the page in question is http://www.writersworkshop.co.uk/Creative-Writing-Courses.html and the search term is ... well, heck, you take a wild guess. We're a British firm, so the only search engine that really matters to us is google.co.uk

Blog post ideas!
Greetings, I have started up a team of web designers. But we are located in a very competitive market and having a fairly new domain our chances are narrow standing out in the seo for a while. But to my notice most of the top search results for website design related terms don't use rich snippet or don't even have quality links from high end websites. So we believe we stand a chance with content marketing. As the competition is nowhere in social signals we plan on using content marketing by adding a blog. Now I am short on content/blog ideas. So any help in it would be a great help. Our focus is primarily on website design and search engine optimization. Thanks

Few backlinks, no social signals and PR of 1 in the #1 SERP. How is this possible?
Hello everyone, I've been busting my head now for a bit and for the life of me I can't understand how this website is ranked #1 or #2 for a moderately competitive keyword (45% According to the Keyword Difficulty Report). Anyone has any idea how is this possible or how are they doing it? Please note page and domain authority as well... Included: reports from SEOmoz and ahrefs Thank you in advance! With the purpose of protecting mi client's identity, I've hidden keywords and domains. Keyword Difficulty Report ahrefs_comp.png SEOmoz_comp.PNG

What Pa and Da to Target ?
Hi, So when building links what PA and DA do you like to follow. I was thinking of building links with anything more then a PA of 10 and da of 30 should be fine. Cheers, Vishal

Can anyone suggest how they're #1
Hi, I'm really struggling to see how these guys are number one on google (from the UK) when searching for "picture framers york" Their SEOMOZ on page grading for the term is an F, so on site SEO is minimal if any. Their backlinks are almost nonexistant, take a look at the competition report (attached) through market samurai. Everything I thought I understand about SEO is currently being turned on its head because with the information available, they shouldn't be there. I thought maybe its the proximity to 'York' center, but they aren't that close to be honest. So any advice greatly appreciated as to why they are #1 so I know what it is I can do as an SEO. Thanks, Dave samurai.png
