F rated page appearing higher than A rated page

Hi,
We have a page that we have optimised in the MOZ system and got a grade A for the term "Dental Implants Wolverhampton"
The page that has been optimised isn't being indexed in google
http://www.perfectdental.eu.com/treatments-implants.php
However, this page
http://www.perfectdental.eu.com/uk-clinics-dental-team.php
Which hasn't been optimised is indexed 11. If i run this page through the MOZ "on-page checker" it receives a quality score of F. Its very confusing, would be great to hear from anyone with any ideas?
Thanks

Yes be careful with back links Adrian.
If you employ a company with a good reputation, they'll make sure the building blocks for your company link strategy is authoritative, as well as informative for the targeted audience.
Google algorithms will penalise poor links for sure.
In the last 3 years, Social Media has had a massive impact on link development. Social Media is the future for "authentic" link development.
Regards, Gary

I'm afraid you're going to have to overcome that shyness a bit. Links can be dangerous, of course, but they're vital. And if you avoid the less-reputable methods, there's not a whole lot to fear.
Jon Cooper of Point Blank SEO has made a great resource for link building ideas: Link Building Strategies – The Complete List. I highly recommend it.
Incidentally, the link from yell.com is no-follow, so it won't be terribly beneficial from a ranking perspective.
The other link is a followed link, but I didn't look into their authority.

Brilliant, thanks for that Justin. Just checking a couple of things though. The site does seem to have some back links:
http://www.yell.com/biz/perfect-profiles-limited-wolverhampton-901442204/
http://www.cosmeticdentistryguide.co.uk/cosmeticdentistryabroad/profile/perfect-profiles.htmlDo you have any suggestions for the types of sites we need links from? (local directories etc) I shy away from back links in general.

The on page grade helps you ensure you've done everything on that page to help it rank. We have some F grades ranking well, too. But that's mainly because competition is low. There's a lot more to take into consideration, however.
Just a cursory look suggests you should focus on links. When I looked, neither Google nor Bing were showing external links pointing to the domain or the two pages in question. Some work there would pay off tremendously.
Also, you should create a Google Webmasters account and submit a xml-sitemap. When I've done that with a new site in the past, nearly all my pages received an initial crawl very soon after.
Along with the sitemap, you'll want to evaluate your internal linking. You're using navigation to link to your pages internally, but you may also benefit from linking to important pages within the actual content, as well.
One thing the on-page grader does not measure is semantic page structure. You have H2s above H1s. That probably won't hurt you a ton, but my eye kinda starts twitching.

Is my 404 page set up correctly?
HI there! In using a few different tools, and I have received varied result concerning my 404 page. In WebSite Auditor from Link Assistant, it says my page is set up incorrectly. My webmaster has told me that it is set up correctly, but at this point I'm not entirely sure what's what. Is there another way to test it? I guess i'm not quite sure about the jargon and what "return 404 response code" actually means. Thanks for your help!

SeoMoz keyword page grader report card
Hi Ive recently 301 redirected old pages/urls to new pages/urls due to a site redesign. The seomoz kw report card is still reporting the old urls though with a significantly reduced score for most pages (i.e. from A's to now C's, from B to now D's etc). Does this mean mozbot is following the 301's & its actually the new urls being graded as such or is it referring to the old pages ? I will be adding the new urls to report card shortly but just interested in clarifying the above since i would have thought, if it is the old pages, they would not be reporting any score for those, or its scoring the new pages ? Many Thanks Dan

Duplicate page reported in Wordpress site, but I can't find it in All Pages list
In a crawl report a duplicate page content warning has been displayed. The two urls are 1. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop
Moz Pro | | Andyfools
and
2. http://www.superheroes.com.au/shop/category/catalog/ It's a WordPress site and I cannot find the second page anywhere in the list of All Pages in the Admin (I want to add canonicalisation code) When I view the 2nd page and click Edit Page, it redirects to the 1st page. Any ideas where SEOMoz would be finding this 2nd page or how it might be being generated? (btw I didn't build this site) Thanks Simon0 -

Why are my sub-domains ranking higher than my Root Domains?
I have just noticed that my sub-domains are ranking higher in Mozrank and Moztrust than the root domain - that seems nuts. Am I doing something wrong?

Find pages containing broken links.
hi everyone, for each internal broken links I need to find all the pages that contain it. In the Seomoz report there is only a refferer link for each broken link, but google webmaster tools indicates that the dead link is present in many pages of the site. there is a way to have these data with SEOmoz or other software, in a csv report ? thanks

Too many links on a page - pull-down menus
SEOMoz is showing too many links on the page (www.ankinlaw.com). There clearly aren't 100 visible links on the page. Is it counting each page found on the (extensive) pull-down menu as a link? If not, where do all the links come from?
