      I have done various link building strategies, and used all white hat seo methods. SEOMoz even shows that my site is better than all my competition, but yet it doesn't rank ANYWHERE on Google. Can someone point me in the right direction as to why this is happening?

      I have attached the opensitexplorer screenshot showing my competition.

        1.) Check out this recent SEOmoz post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/going-beyond-moz-metrics-to-answer-why-is-this-site-outranking-me

        2.) It's very important to note that SEOmoz's tools report SEOmoz-specific metrics (based on SEOmoz's data about other sites).  These metrics are very valuable for analyzing your site (and your competitors); however, they do NOT reflect the actual information that is used internally at the search engines (i.e., they're approximations).

        3.) If your site doesn't appear ANYWHERE in the Google SERPs (including a "site:" query), your site might be de-indexed.

        4.) Without your site's URL, we won't be able to give you specific advice.

          There can be several reasons why your site isn't ranking.  Without knowing what your URL is and which keywords you are wanting to rank for, there is no real reason to even try to answer this question.  Do you have content that is relevant for the search terms you are looking for?  Have you checked to make sure that you don't have garbage links (I know you said that you don't engage in black hat SEO).  Let's start with those and then we can move forward.

            You said "it doesn't rank ANYWHERE on Google" are you sure it's indexed? or is it just not ranking for the keywords you want it to.

            Share the URL and we can help you.
