Strange metrics : Internal Followed Links 0
Hey Laurent, The mozbot is different from the Linkscape Index, so while we are able to crawl a website or domain, it's a different set of sources that comprise the Linkscape Index. Check out that message I wrote above for the reason your site's links might not be indexed yet. Hope this helps explain! Let me know if you have any other questions that aren't addressed in that message I wrote above. Thanks Laurent!

Can I use the same source for two different websites?
If this was a problem then all Word Press websites in the world would be penalised. What you're trying to do is common business sense and it imposes no risk given that your statement about content being unique is true. I say go ahead and make awesome sites now that you have the right technology.

Should a crawl ever take more than 7 days?
I think SEOmoz have disable the intial fast crawl and only the full crawl is available. I think it says the initial crawl can take 4 - 7 days (altho it has not taken this long in my experience) Email help@seomoz.org with your account details and ask them to look for you, they are really good at getting back

Any tools for scraping blogroll URLs from sites?
Not at all. I guess my feeling here is that there is a sort of untapped social graph defined by blogrolls. If it were simple to harvest them upon visiting a blog (e.g. this blogger recommends...) one could do a stumble-on-steroids approach to a niche.

Is it risk to link exchange with this site?
I don't think link exchanges, at least direct link exchanges, are a good tactic unless the business is an association or true business partner. (Like getting a link from the humane association and linking back to them). Generally only link exchange with businesses you know are well respected by Google.

Who Came First, Roger, or Googlebot?
This won't answer your question entirely, but it's kinda fun. The first instance I remember of Rand drawing a robot came from this post. ( I can't believe I still remember it). Roger, obviously, came later. I like to think of them as big brother/little brother. Or maybe distant cousins.

How do I delete a question?
I'm afraid there is no way to delete them. You get to ask a question of SEOMoz staff each month however, so rather than post this, I would ask them the question of if they can add a delete button or delete a question for you.

1st Campaign - Advice please.
Hi Tony, If the "Sign In" form is an element included on the page that you set to rel=canonical, the other instances of the sign in form should be neutralized (in terms of triggering duplicate content errors). Usually, something as small as a sign in form doesn't constitute enough content to trigger the "duplicate" warning. The SE's algo has to account for certain elements that are useful on each page (for example, navigation bars). They are more concerned with people scraping large amounts of written content from other sites or just recycling large portions of their own site for SEO purposes.
