SEOMOZ tools are not helping!
-
So, I have a website www.mobikwik.com which provides mobile phone topup in India. I signed up for SEOMOZ Pro membership a little less than a month ago.
For all our competitors , which rank above us in google as of today , I checked out two things
a) competitive link analysis and
b) on-page optimization.
On b) , our home page had the best optimization for targeted keywords and the best score amongst all competitors who ranked above us.
On a) , linkscape tools showed our moztrust and mozrank to be the best. Except for 2 competitors, our domain authority was also better than the rest.
Inspite of all this, our website is ranked no more than 6 on google for all targeted keywords. We have the best quality links amongst our competitors.
I am at a loss to understand this and how to improve our ranking. I have to make a decision whether to renew my SEOMOZ membership in 2 days time. Please help me decide!

What about the technical, is your site optimized for search engines to crawl, I like the Microsoft SEO Toolkit to find all issues. if you have more technical issues than your compeditors this maybe why.
Does SEOMOZ show any issues.I use the tools to compare my progress against others in a relative way. They will never be completly accurate, but a good indication.

Like has been said, these metrics you have shown, tell use that
A.
You are in a competitive search market
B.
Your probally not the only site that is doing SEO
C.
Check your link's and your competitors link profiles, usually some great juicy links that you can acquire for your site and shift the playing field in your direction

As usual, EGOL is right.
Use OSE to query 10-20 of your competitor domains. Realize that the OSE tool is one of the most accurate juicy link finders, without it you would have to prioritize competitor back links by hand. With it, you are able to target the best links your competitors have with minimal effort. These are the high quality back links.
You are right, your direct competitors have weaker link profiles, so try to run it on some of the non-direct competitors, those ranking well across the board (Google.co.uk, .in, .ca, etc)
URLS to Check out their Back Link Profiles on (in OSE):
www.wirelessguide.org/plan/prepaid.htm
<cite>www.assurancewireless.com</cite>
You may want to brush up on those ranking factors and what is important to the search engines themselves and remember, there is no "code" to back linking, and you find high quality back links in the strangest of places, so just keep looking! It's never done.
Domain age is a big factor, one that Moz might not tell you is the reason you are outranked by domains with less link equity and poorer on-site SEO. Domain age of root-domain links as well. But, heck, even registrar info and terms for domain registration matters to Google. So trying to pinpoint why (beyond a scientific analysis) is overkill, and your time is better spent building links, high quality resources, and partners/friends within your vertical.

SEOMOZ tools are not helping!
They tell me that you are in a close fight!
I am at a loss to understand this....
Google uses lots of factors to rank websites. They say that they use about 200 factors. SEOMoz tools consider many factors but are not exactly the same as google uses.
....and how to improve our ranking.
I think you know... you need more links... and try to improve your site any way that you can to please the visitor... and make it very easy for visitors to share your site with twitter, facebook, etc. I use addthis.com on my site for that.

Thank you for your answer

SEOmoz vs Google Webmaster Tools on incoming links
I'm working on basic SEO for http://queueassoc.com. Google has indexed the non-www verions of the pages and these are what the SERPS return SEOmoz toolbar shows that all of the incoming links juice goes to the www. versions of the pages, none to the non-www version. Yesterday I set up GWMT for the site, submitted a sitemap with the www version of the pages and set the default address to the www version. I had to verify both versions of the site in order to do this and in looking at the non-www version I saw that Google had all the incoming links there and none in the www.version, the opposite of what SEOmoz shows. Is this just because Google only has the non-www versions in its index? Will they show the links to the www version once they get them in the index? I'm worried about losing Google Page Rank value or SEOmoz DA by making this switch.

SEOMOZ Competitive Domain Analysis
Hi, I am just trying to get to the bottom of why I am seeing such wildly different figures in the SEOMOZ link analysis. The SEO company that we use is saying that we have around 331 external links to our website, when I check on Yahoo site explorer, it returns 264 external links, but in my SEOMOZ campaign manager, it says I have 4 external links? I fully appreciate that none of these methods are going to be wholly accurate, and are going to produce different results, but I can't understand why the SEOMOZ results are so vastly different. I also know for a fact there are a number of Followed links that I have added to a couple of websites, that Google has now indexed (as they appear in search results), but don't appear in the campaign manager results. If SEOMOZ use a different method to assess an external link, then no problem - my main concern here is that as a Newbie I am doing something wrong within the SEOMOZ tools, and don't want to take action based on results that may be incorrect because I have set things up incorrectly? Any help is greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Gareth
