Depending on your particular usage, this can be fine - i.e. jQuery sliders hode the slides that are not shown at the current time. As EGOL has mentioned though, you never know what Google will penalize tomorrow.

RE: Linkbuilding
Reciprocal link exchanges are bad news I'm afraid. Instead, look at writing a blog post, and approach those with blogs in your industry to get them to post them, and then accredit the work to you via a link.

RE: Is anyone familiar with the SEOClarity tool?
No problem Oscar. I'd never suggest using any software that comes from a cold call!

RE: Is anyone familiar with the SEOClarity tool?
I haven't had any experience with it, however seeing as their domain authority is in the twenties, the landing pages aren't exactly wow-worthy, and you're already asking on an alternative PRO Paid forum, I wouldn't move from SEOmoz if I were you!

RE: Landing page for ppc
Nothing at all, one thing though, don't nofollow the link, just use the meta noindex attribute on that individual page.
Spend some money and get an expert involved in creating this page with you, as PPC landing page optimization is an important part of running an online marketing compaign

RE: Linkbuilding
Blogs with dofollow is the easy answer, however you should look towards guest posting and building editorially given links too! Check out SEOmoz PRO Juicy Link Finder tool

Not in Leeds UK yet. I guess it will roll out worldwide over the next week or so?

RE: Wordpress plugin for facilitating adding a post descriptions
Catherine, I see what you're after now, my first answer may not have answered it correctly.
The best route and probably the easiest thing you're after is an SEO plugin - I'd reccommend the 'All in one SEO' plugin. It allows for you to customise title tags and descriptions for individual posts, and add rules for formatting title tags of post types, categories etc.
Just install it from the backend under Plugins > Add New and check out the settings pages to active it. Then, on each individual post, check the bottom of the page - you'll see an additional meta box with additional options which are all self explanatory.
Hope this helps

RE: Link Building Features/Tutorials
Check out the following resources:
Also, set up a campaign and request a custom crawl (just search custom crawl) - this will bring up any issues on your website which may potentially be holding you back.
Check out your competitors on Linkscape/Open Site Explorer - the links are ordered by worth - so the ones at the top are the ones you should be chasing
- http://www.seomoz.org/labs/link-finder/index.php
- http://www.seomoz.org/link-finder
- http://www.seomoz.org/tools
Then read some of the blogs on the Daily Blog to get up to speed with how to use some of the tools to better effect, but as I said, check out the campaign area first..

RE: Combining web pages and it's affects on SEO?
If these pages have inbound links pointing to them, then combining this may give it a little kick up the rankings. Think to yourself why you'd want to include these pages under only one page. Are they not strong enough on their own? Do they have very little content etc.
If so, then it would be an idea to combine them, and the others should be 301 directed (which will preserve 90-99% link juice) - Source: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/About
This will also mean that you have created pages with 3x as much content on them, which will stand up to higher competition and attract more long tail searches if done well.

RE: Where should a knowledge base be hosted for max. SEO benefit?
KB's are great for user generated content (just look at this one). If it was open to all just imagine how many links it would be attracting!!
Obviously your KB would be for SEO benefits, and therefore the best method for gaining from it would be to host it on the clients domain in a sub folder. Most open source CMS's can easily be modified into Knowledge bases with relative little ease - one thing I should recommend is heavy moderation on all posts to ensure that no incorrect answers or spam goes live, as this would make their business look poor.

RE: Backlink booster - boosts and helps to index links?
There are so many site, tools and 'solutions' like this on the web nowadays - and too many people seem to be buying into them.
The only true way to gain good quality links is though EARNING THEM. Instead of spending time indexing poor quality links via RSS feeds and such like, spend your time creating something link worthy - something people will want to link to, such as the Social Media Guide. It ticks all of the boxes, it's from an authorative source, includes badges (for link backs), and it's easy to syndicate.
Whatever your niche is, someone somewhere is looking for a review, a buying guide, or a 101 ways to... list. I know I'd personally spend my time following these methods.
@Shehzad - This isn't meant to be aimed at you in particular! This is just my strong recommendation to all employing these tactics to swap to more natural SEO

RE: Can link juice be passed in an iframe from domain A to domain B
You're correct in thinking no link juice can be passed through an iframe. You could however have a link immediately before or after it in the method you mentioned, and then give your partners the whole HTML including that link.
Hope that helps!

RE: Weird Indexing Question
Yes MonaVie as Steve Ollington has said, once it's realised that the two are one of the same, then there is no risk of penalty!

RE: Convince me to stay! How should I best use SEOMoz tools.
Check out the campaign manager, add some keywords to each and check out the SEO scorecards. The campaign manager is for me, the main reason for having SEOMoz membership. Within in you can get reports on your on page SEO efforts (and advice on how to fix it) as well as monitor your off page SEO/Linkbuilding efforts.
You can also do in depth analysis on your competitors domains, allowing you to see where their best links come from - allowing you to get the same link to propel you to the top!!
The best way of finding out what's on offer is to just have a look around for yourself, you can't go wrong!!

RE: Is this Directory Guide by SEOmoz still accurate?
Maybe it could be a feature where Users could add and then vote up and down the directory to keep it fresh, relevant and up to date. Obviously you'd have to implement something to stop spammers...
That said, I've still got a couple of good niche links from the current list

RE: Incoming Links from mamma.com
Jean,
Although this does sound tempting to get a quick win, I'd advise not to go ahead with a scheme such as this. Focus more on building strong links such as the one from your SEOmoz profile (after 200 points) - and forums and blog commenting.
Getting keyword rich links are obviously the best, but you can compete with that by a number of links from pages with high domain and page authority with less keyword input.
50 Links isn't that many, so don't be put off! It also seems that now the competitor has these links they might be happy to stop link building. Link building is an ongoing process, and sudden peaks and troughs in link numbers might attract the attention of search engines

Let me know if this helps!

RE: One Keyword Rank Inexplicably Blasted Into Oblivion
As Dunamis has said, these things sometimes happen for various reasons (reasons that Google no doubt will never disclose). Keep checking on it manually and keep an eye on it. If the problem doesn't sort itself out within the next couple of days, then go through your recent link acquisitions to try to find the cause!
