Hello Christie,
Ok for the layout, but why do you keep the first link nofollowed ?
Studies reveal that only first link attribute and anchor text are taken into account... So it could be fair that the first link be followed also (or remove it and correct CSS layout... with CSS rules!)
Yes here : http://blog.axe-net.fr/ancre-de-lien-nofollow-dofollow-test-seo/ (in french)
if there are two links to the same URL on a give webpage, only the first link is taken into account, so in the moz profile webpage, the first link is nofollowed. And it's really strange to have two links, one nofollow and one follow?
Hello, I think you should focus on authority links form your competitors, top links, opportunities or great source of links from other websites you analyzed link profiles. Drop the odd links, and focus on top ones !
In addition, if links are temporary and on parked domains (so low quality links), they can hurt competitor rankings after next penguin update.
Hello,
I try to help Moz community and hope to get 200 mozpoints a day 
When I analyze a profile from a member with more than 200 mozpoints, I see two links to custom URL link : one is added nofollow on a blank image, and one follow with anchor text.
But it appears that the tests show that in this case the second link is not taken into account... Why not remove the first link so ?
Here is the code:

Hello,
There is no problem to rewrite URLs, but you may have good reason and make sure 301 are ok.
For example on my website about comparative garages, if a garage sells its company to another one, and the name change, we keep the same ID in database but we change the name : from garage-name1-1234.html to garage-name2-1234.html, to keep the history from google because it's the same location, but we change the name to alert Google that there was a big change.
Hello,
You mean add keywords in URL ? It doesn't give you any ranking boost, but can help visitors know what they will find on your webpage without even clicking on it.
Hello,
It's really difficult to answer such a question, because it can be a lack of authority links (check with OpenSiteExplorer and it seems that few links point to your website), a massive competition in this domain, or a website with few competitive advantages, just search widgets from other services/websites. Or all of these.
Hello, I think it's the same issue as this one :

And Rand answers :
Should be all fixed now. Sorry about that - we're launching a new index, and there seems to be some hardware issues. We're trying to reverse engineer the source of the problem. On the plus side, a new index should be out soon.
The new index has been released few days ago so ...
Quora don't seem to have a XML sitemap but a HTML one :
[https://www.quora.com/robots.txt](https://www.quora.com/robots.txt) refers to [https://www.quora.com/sitemap](https://www.quora.com/sitemap)
I think you can do better things before, like try to find opportunities on existing local directories, town halls, local events...
If your shop was in a small city it could be a good idea, but in big one ...
Also some websites may have blocked Moz crawler, with the meta
So all their links won't show in OpenSiteExplorer
Exactly. Some websites add forwarding numbers for advanced call reporting in javascript. It's the best way to avoid problems with NAP inconsistency.
Is there a technical problem with OpenSiteExplorer ? (https://moz.com/researchtools/ose)
Since this morning I'v got many errors like this "There was an error getting your data". Try to refresh but doesn't look to work like before...
Hello,
I think you can do it (get overall and last review) with Yelp API:

And it's ok for SEO
Hello,
Perhaps you could set up 404 for these pages, and then submit all these URLS via a sitemap in Google Search Console ?
I do not agree. All media websites list their sites in their footer and these may be the only authority links they receive.
Hello,
If it's an important information for yours visitors, then there's no problem. You've purchased stores, so you want to show that they be part of a group.
Think about big companies with footer that list all their websites. They want to show that they own many websites and can reach a large audience. It can be useful to their users so no problem.
I think there's no problem if UX is your main goal. It's the same thing if you hide some blocks on mobile vs desktop.
Don't worry and think about user !
Too few links and poor quality ... The website seems good but now you must do some netlinking !
Hello,
According to Wayback machine, you've migrated your website after April,13.

We can see clearly that you have changed everything ! Design, photos... So you've changed the UX ! Text is important but Google takes user engagement into account, and if users are not reassured by your new design, you will never get back your positions ! In old design buttons are clearly identifiable, it's more simple to navigate, some menus are youseful like "Why choose us ?"... I think you'd better improve old design and navigation and forget the new one !
