All of the pages above you contain the words "Developing Linkbait for a Non-Technical Audience" in some manner or another in their titles. Your page title for that post is "SEO « MicroISV on a Shoestring". Seems to me you could do yourself a huge SEO-favor by putting the title of the post in the title of the page? Could that be one of the factors that give you the lower ranking? Patrick, Your post appears in the SERPS directly below the last post of the screenshot above (currently).

What I don't get is why I am so high up in the list (made-of-stone) - as I'm a total web-nobody compared to the others. I remember seeing you do the search in my referrer logs.

It is a set of filters that tries to limit the number of exact copies of an article returned in the SERPs. It is PageRank driven, and you often see old and trusted sites that discuss another site outranking the site that they are discussing. With Duplicate Content, it’s not a penalty as such.
