      I compare my competitors and i am always higher than others (Domain authority, Page authority, Page mozrank, page moztrust, domain mozrank, domain moztrust). But some queries i am under these sites. What is the problem or how can i beat them?

      P.S. : I am the newest website among them. (E-commerce and my domain register date: january 2013)

        Domain authority, Page authority, Page mozrank, page moztrust, domain mozrank and domain moztrust all are indicators for offsite SEO. If you outperform your competitors on all of these and you do not outrank them in the SERPs, I would suggest you have a closer look at your on site SEO.

          Google, Yahoo, Moz, and a bunch of other sites all have much higher stats than my site. Yet none of them are optimized for or care about scale model battleships, so my little site can outrank them. You do need to look at what is on your site too.

            I agree with Arjen and Keri for the most part. However, I have seen the same phenomenon you are describing. While I would definitely take a long hard look at the quality of the content and probably even the technical SEO aspects of your pages, if all other things are equal it's very likely your competitors will still outrank you based on the age of their domains. If they have been established and in business for significantly longer than you, with an online presence for significantly longer than you, it's going to be an uphill climb to outrank them. Hope that helps!

              It could be the difference in your on-page optimization.  Have you checked competiton vs. your pages with the http://moz.com/researchtools/on-page-grader yet?
