        Anders,

        have you looked at your site's code in Firefox sourceview?

        You have some red lines in code (errors?). Compare your site with your competitor not only in SEOmoz but also use the more intensive tools like comparing source codes, check other parameters. For instance:

        If I search for lamelgardiner and I look at the site of gardinshoppen.dk (in Google.dk on the second position), and i run a page analyses with seoqauke I get these results:

        ===============================================

        <label for="page-url">URL:</label>http://www.gardinshoppen.dk/lamelgardiner.html

        <label for="page-title">Title:</label>Lamelgardiner? Køb billige lamelgardiner her! Lamelgardin efter mål

        <label for="page-meta-keywords">Meta keywords:</label>lamelgardiner, efter mål, billige, online

        <label for="page-meta-description">Meta description:</label>Lamelgardin Køb billige Lamelgardiner online Godkendt af E Mærkefonden Prisgaranti på alle Lamelgardiner Gratis farveprøver på lamelgardin

        <label for="page-links-internal">Internal links:</label>31 (0 nofollow)

        <label for="page-links-external">External links:</label>5 (0 nofollow)

        <label for="page-server">Server:</label>nginx, PHHW-120802: lb01.cluster.magepartner.net, 130.185.133.127, plan = Shared

        Keyword density:

        Lamelgardiner: Found in T (Title), D (Description), K (Keywords), 16 repeats in content with a density of 1,59%

        ==================================================

        Looking at you site I found this:

        Ranking position 4 in Google.dk for the keyword: Lamelgardiner

        SeoQuake:

        ==================================================

        <label for="page-url">URL:</label>http://www.uniggardin.dk/lamelgardiner.php

        <label for="page-title">Title:</label>→ Lamelgardiner ← Danmarks billigste lamelgardiner Uniggardin

        Keyword density:

        Lamelgardiner: Found in T (Title), D (Description), K (Keywords), 19 repeats in content with a density of 2.19%

        ==================================================

        Although keyword density is no longer an official factor in a possitive way it can still impact rankings in a negative way. Looking at your title I would start by removing the arrows so that your primary keywords starts the title of.

        Wait for a week or 4 for the impact on the title change (or use GWT and request a site index for that specific page). If that didn't work I would like to suggest just lowering your keywords density to just below 2%. Again wait some time for impact of Google. In the meantime (while waiting 8 weeks) I would do some link earning like Rand talked about in his Whiteboard Friday Video:

        http://www.seomoz.org/blog/the-death-of-link-building-and-the-rebirth-of-link-earning-whiteboard-friday

        I myself run some websites ranking number 1 for a lot of competitive terms but when i analyse My site to competitors they outscore me according to SEOmoz allthough i still rank above them. So metrics don't tell you everything. Their an indicator about your site.

        By the way: If I run a site:www.uniggardin.dk on google I only get about 270 results so you might have some duplicant content issues or canonicalization issues.

        Hope this helps you along a bit.

        I really suggest using more then only the SEOmoz tools (their great but there is so much more).

        Hope this helps

        Happy holidays

        Regards

        Jarno

          Hello Jarno, thank you for replying.

          What other tools than Seomoz can you recommend to use?

          Also in seomoz im having some errors and some of them shows that my sites have urls linked on my page to non-existing pages. Is there a way to terminate these links/pages? Or even see exactly where on my site these links are placed?

          Best regards.
