Canonical Tag
Pages that should contain the canonical tag aren't nescessarily 'offending' anything. They are just pages containing the same information as another page, where usually the only difference is a (non-significant) URL parameter.

Is it a bad idea to build unique sites to build credibility for your main site?
The general response you'll see in the SEOmoz Q&A is towards spending your time on your main site rather than creating lots of micro sites. Arguments for one site include only having to update/maintain one site instead of five the next time there's an update to the software you're using, and not having to do all of your link building times five (if you have four micro sites and your main site). With microsites, you're often splitting up the value of your sites into pieces, rather than having all of the value go to your one main site.

Switching to another CMS with different permalink structure, how not to lose organic traffic and Google rankings? Urgent Please!
100% agree on the 301 redirect strategy. The best execution is to 301 redirect each page to the new page on the new site. If you have a TON of pages and can not create a 301 redirection rule for every single page you should at least 301 redirect the proper directories to each other. One thought is...since you will be doing this 301 redirect why not make the NEW urls user/keyword friendly? Also maybe build some directory structure to the site. Hopefully you will be doing his but just thought I should mention it.

LinksManager
I believe they are basically ways of automating link exchange between sites and a network of partners who are willing to exchange. There is a review here: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/review-linksmanager-links-exchange-toolbar/5440/ It may have grown since that review, and it may have a little, tiny, bit of merit, but I would not make it a large part of your strategy in any way, shape or form. The good links are always the ones that are hard to get.

Outranking a competitor when their domain name is the keyword
Perhaps not THE deciding factor - and yes I agree that the backlinks are perhaps of a higher strength/quality - but surely the domain name still plays SOME part in the overall ranking of the site? Or is this something that used to be effective and that's why people bought up domain names that matched their highest traffic keywords?
