Hi
New to Moz, I'm finding it all very helpful and daunting at the same time. I've read heaps of Seo the Moz content and watched every Video I can find.
It's all going well and I've managed to get A's on some of my pages,
I was hoping some one cold tell me why this site (Link to screan grab http://tinypic.com/r/dnj9di/8 ) is way above me in the Google search results? It appears to be under performing me in Moz but in actual fact it is greatly out performing me in Google.
Any insights are more than gratefully received!
Thanks
Ben

Thanks again

Hi,
This may also be a local search issue? I have just done the same search (based near Leicester) and i get the following results...
So you are coming 3rd in the results... Try clearing your cache etc when doing the search and/or doing it in incognito window in Chrome. See if your results are different.

Hi
looking at their site http://www.funeral-catering-services.co.uk/ they don't even use the key word I used, "funeral caterers" and the word "Funeral" is only in the copy 3 times and "caterer" is not used once, This is so confusing!
Thanks for your reply

Hi,
My suggestion is that it is possibly to do with particular keywords. Someone may put me right on this but you could have higher ranks etc loads of link juice but if there are particular keywords that are well used by the offending site then it might be that.

Do we get "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" when we cross 200 Moz Points? I have not received it yet, anything I can do?
Though I have only recently subscribed to Moz Pro, I have been using Moz Blog for quite some time. I recently crossed 200 Moz Points. As per Moz Points, it says "Removal of "nofollow" from first custom URL on profile" for crossing 200 points. I still dont see any links from Moz when I am using OSE. Can anyone suggest what i need to do?

How To Ques. Getting ranked on page one for a keyword when you compete with bigger websites/companies/stores
Can David Beat Goliath. I work with small businesses with top products that are up against big brands and their online presence. If I am working with them to create content that meets the needs of all their stakeholders/customers/prospects to generate revenue I wonder if keyword targeting with content can really pay off to get them page one, #1 position ranking. So I ask you this question? How do you create a story for a small online store that can get ranked on page one for a keyword when you compete with bigger websites (or sites with higher domain authority)? I don't need all the basics, I'm just looking for a key insight or tip that you have found or heard is working for a David to beat a Goliath (and hold their position rank once they get highly ranked). We are up against sites - for viable keywords -who have higher domain authority and in some cases more content or link backs. Also, I've notice in situations when I do get to page one and I'm in position 7 MOZ analytics show low to no traffic coming from it? Yikes, what do I do to improve that? These are top keywords.

Is there any way to get historical API data?
I'm looking for a way of requesting domain authority and some other stats via the API for several previous months. I noticed on here: http://apiwiki.seomoz.org/what-is-the-mozscape-api
Moz Pro | | ReallyEasyCart
It says "SEOmoz PRO members now have access to historical API linking data - read about this great new feature on our blog!" but i could not find this blog post anywhere and maybe I'm misreading this line anyway.0 -

Do Google's recent changes effect the data SEOmoz delivers
Since Google made privacy changes and certain keyword tools such as MS have had to make drastic changes to continuing to be usefull, has SEOMoz encountered any problems and is your keyword data as reliable and accurate as before the Google change?

How many times to repeat the exact keyword?
I'm curious what the suggested number of times is for including an EXACT keyword in a document, OTHER than in the page title, h1 and alt text? What does SEOMoz advocate for this? Bonus credit: What is the consensus on "stop words"? I've read the the search engines ignore these, yet searching for the same query with or without them produces vastly different results... So should they not always be included in one's keyword optimization, above?
