Welcome to the Q&A Forum

You can block them as of 16th of October (In google atleast), i see you might have wanted the same for Bing search?): http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.no/2012/10/a-new-tool-to-disavow-links.html

There is no "best way" to get leads, but i'll give you some basic tips that i have found to work fine:

1: Affiliates. Give 10-15% of the income from clients they send to old clients/partners/whatever.
2: Word by mouth (By far the most efficient way in my experience). Make sure all your existing customers are happy, and that you have a nice landing page they can refer new clients to.
3: Hang around in forums/websites related to what you want to sell. There is usually always some business to be had if you spend some time on this. However you should make sure that you ALWAYS follow the rules of the forums/websites when it comes to posting sales-offers/pm'ing people to sell your work. If you don't you might be banned, or just get a bad reputation as a spammer.
4: In your field: Make sure to have a good portfolio. If you are doing guest blogging future clients really do need to see that you do good work before they will buy anything. Same goes for anything else really. A good portfolio might close a lot of deals.

Well, based on the following post it seems like that is correct:

When you look at Google's cache of a page (for instance, by using the cache: operator or clicking the Cached link under a URL in the search results), you can see the date that Googlebot retrieved that page. Previously, the date we listed for the page's cache was the date that we last successfully fetched the content of the page. This meant that even if we visited a page very recently, the cache date might be quite a bit older if the page hadn't changed since the previous visit. This made it difficult for webmasters to use the cache date we display to determine Googlebot's most recent visit. Consider the following example:

1. Googlebot crawls a page on April 12, 2006.
2. Our cached version of that page notes that "This is G o o g l e's cache of http://www.example.com/ as retrieved on April 12, 2006 20:02:06 GMT."
3. Periodically, Googlebot checks to see if that page has changed, and each time, receives a Not-Modified response. For instance, on August 27, 2006, Googlebot checks the page, receives a Not-Modified response, and therefore, doesn't download the contents of the page.
4. On August 28, 2006, our cached version of the page still shows the April 12, 2006 date -- the date we last downloaded the page's contents, even though Googlebot last visited the day before.

Extremely easy.

I would just check http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/content-sharing/mailing-a-distribution-lists for a list of extensions that may help you do the job.

Based on personal experience: Try to submit, then just move on.  I've had a submission waiting for a couple of years as there seem to be no active editors left in that category. Doesn't help when they won't notify you if you are declined/approved either.

1: Browse to http://www.slashdot.org

2: Press "Join"

3: Submit a link to a GOOD (This is very important to actually be able to get something out of this) article/post. Hope for the best.

It would definately be a good idea to do a 301-redirect from the low-traffic site. You would want to keep all incoming links while redirecting your customers to the "main" site without them noticing any difference. If you have the same name on the subsites/products i would recommend that you do a 301-redirect from avengers-example.com/subsite1 to spiderman-example/subsite1.

I quote:

Googlebot can index almost any text a user can see as they interact with any Flash SWF file on your site, and can use that text to generate a snippet or match query terms in Google searches. Additionally, Googlebot can also discover URLs in SWF files (for example, links to other pages on your site) and follow those links.

We'll crawl and index this content in the same way that we crawl and index other content on your site—you don't need to take any special action. However, we don't guarantee that we'll crawl or index all the content, Flash or otherwise.

Google indexed around 20k useless URL's due to mediawiki's insane amounts of URL's that is generated by not using "Short URL's".

It was resolved when we moved the wiki to another location, added the short URL's.

We have just redirected everything. (301).

No problem at all, had a wiki up and running without the "short URL's". So Google had ~19k errors on this one because of too long/complicated URL's. Removed it, problem solved and all errors resolved.

In google webmasters tools you have the feature "Crawl Errors". This one displays the top 1000 crawl errors google have on your site.

I have around 16k crawl errors at the moment, which all are fixed. But i can only mark 1000 of them as fixed each day/each time google crawls the site.  (This as it only displays top 1000 errors. When i have marked those as fixed it won't show other errors for a while.)

Does anyone know if it's possible to mark ALL errors as fixed in one operation?

Google the entire URL of the site/page. If it doesn't show up in your google-search it's most likely blacklisted.

Have you added keywords to the Rank Tracker? Took a week or so for the first ranks to pop up when i was on my 30 day trial-period.

Just checked the Keyword Analysis-tool. Same problem here, haven't used it before though. So i can't answer for that feature.

Anyway, i'd email SEOMOZ and explain the problems you have been having, the SEOMOZ-staff usually is very helpful if you have issues.

I'm not 100% sure how google treats subdomains these days, but normally i would think it would be best to use a folder within existing site to be able to profit from existing SERP.

Yes, this is seen as black hat by google and will be penalized.

Haven't experienced this myself, but the natural response is to send a mail to the author of the article where you ask politely if the author could add a link to the article. Pretty much all you can do.

I can't say if this will work (hopefully someone else can), but i guess you could try blocking ALL requests coming from those malicious links (even google). Hopefully google would pick up on this.

Hi. You can't change the domain, you have to create a new campaign:

From the FAQ: https://seomoz.zendesk.com/entries/20027997-lesson-1-campaign-set-up

Q.  Can I change the domain later? A.  You cannot change the domain of a campaign once it is created. If you need to track content, rankings, etc. on a new subdomain or domain, you must create a new campaign.  Don’t panic – archiving and adding campaigns is easy.

Just give it some time, if you use a 301 from the old url to the new one and report the changes via google webmasters tools it should update fairly quick. Should be no need to fix the links.

Edit (Fixing link instead of text):
