First off, both of these websites have only been live for a couple of months. So you shouldn't even be worrying about search engine positions yet. Google only updates PageRank about once every quarter.

From what I can see, it looks like you bought backlinks, which is a bad idea after the Panda update. Links from low-quality sites get you ranked down, and you're lucky you're not in the sandbox already for doing that. That's probably why your PageRank is the same as his, even though you have over 2,000 backlinks. Also, I noticed you were commenting on blogs with no-follow links so you're not getting any benefit from Google by doing that.
Here's why I think he's ahead of you, based off what I see at a quick glance:
- His homepage has way more textual content than yours and it's obviously a lot more fresh because he's stealing content and reposting it.
- Your link structure is horrible, you need to remove the date, month and year from you urls. His links to blog posts are coming straight from his root domain.
- His homepage HTML is clean with a high percentage of textual content, yours is filled with links to other pages, which gives search engine crawlers a hard time.
- You have way more ads above the fold than he does, which hurts you because of the Panda update.
