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.

Outranked for own content
One of my clients has a travel site and is syndicating apartment listings to the likes of tripadvisor and flipkey. I've just done an SEO audit for them and noticed that when searching for snippets of text from within an apartment listing, these aggregator sites outrank my client by miles (which is the original creator of the content). How would you suggest tackling this issue? We can't give up the aggregator sites as they're bringing in sales. The first solution that comes to mind is send different descriptions to aggregator sites than the content on our site, however this would mean rewriting a ton of content. Any other suggestions on how to treat aggregator/comparison shopping sites?

How can Floost outrank us?
I did a search for "Bella Thorne Jimmy Choo Maylen" and the first result that comes up is "http://floost.com/yournextshoes-post-bella-thorne-in-jimmy-choo-maylen-booties-hot-or-not-2680653". Basically they just have our site in some sort of frame, and I can't even see our site among the other search results. How do they manage to outrank us? I never submitted our site to Floost, but normally I don't think they should hurt our SEO as it's just a content aggregator. What do you think? aO6bBSU

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

Moz Rank Moz Trust and Authority higher than my competitor but still getting outranked
Hi There, I'm new to SeoMoz but ive been using it for the past month and I've been using the tools to try to optimize my site but for some reason even though my metrics are showing that my rank and authority are rising past my competitor they still rank higher in the searches. my website is the site on the far left with the domain authority @27. the competitor that keeps outranking me is the third from the left with a domain authority of 12. If anyone can advise as to why I'm being outranked that would be very helpful. I'm stumped here. Thanks guys! eYtMRr9.png

SEO's done, 301s in place, old site STILL outranks new site. What to do?
Since Sep 2010 I have had a site up with minimal SEO optimization (www.chrisbrushmusic.com). Oct 29, 2012, I launched a new site on a new domain (www.chrisbrushdrums.com) with more content and tons of SEO work behind it. The content of the new site is significantly different from the old site, and I wish to keep the old site around. I have 301's in place for specific URLs on the old site that point to the new site. I have submitted xml sitemaps for the new site. As of now, the old site still outranks the new site (i.e. Google search for "nashville session drummer" and my old site is #9 - my new site is nowhere). What should I do? Thanks.

Spam affiliate outranking quality site?
I purchased a site hotkeyit.com which was making decent revenue without much work (all via PPC or CPM) but then afterwards started looking at the SERPs and realized I was being outranked for the main term, 'starcraft 2 guide/s' by crappy ClickBank sites like starcraft2guide.com and many others. Researching starcraft2guide.com specifically in SEOMoz/Rush/Majestic shows hotkeyit.com as being quite superior in everyway, not to mention it has quite a social following for a small gaming site, yet Google seems to care not. Can someone please explain what's going on here? It seems like the site was penalized, but there was never any link building done for it aside from word of mouth on forums (this was mentioned beforehand). Thank you everyone.

PA v PR
Hi All, I operate a weather website, and our link building strategy has been to offer weather services to domains with high ranking homepages in return for links from those homepages. The researching of 'high ranking pages' is obviously a big part of the link building process, and up until now we have been using Google's PageRank (PR), in the form of a Chrome extension to determine a pages authority. Now that there is an SEOMoz Chrome extension with Page Authority (PA)...and mozRank/mozTrust, should we switch to PA instead of PR when determining which pages to link from? Thanks.
