My pleasure! 
Exactly - as Keri explained, they try to crawl the most valuable links.
By linking to the correct pinterest page, you will signal to MOZ (and google) that your Pinterest profile is worth crawling/indexing, and it will gain more page authority as well.
It is because the MOZ crawl didn't pick up that pinterest page.
One thing I would recommend - on http://www.chicfamilytravels.com/: Your link to "follow me on Pinterest" which goes to http://www.pinterest.com/ChicFamily+/ is a dead link. Update it to the correct link http://www.pinterest.com/ChicFamily/
Hope that helps.
"E) Adwords is a battle of quality score. If you start out trying to get cheap clicks your quality score is going to suck. I go in bidding crazy high to help the quality score and then back off."
Can you explain this a little further? How does your high orignial bid increase the quality score?
Thanks!
Agreed - that is an excellent post, with many useful tools and info.
I would add - for the google suggest part of the post - an excellent tool is Uber Suggest. http://ubersuggest.org/
Make sure to 301 the current page to the new one - as well as the old archived posts to the new post pages (assuming you are keeping the archived content.
Let us know how the switch goes!
Wow - I have received an email like that recently, and was surprised that the person emailing me would want to take his link down - but now it all makes sense. It was a competitor all along!
Talk about Negative/black-hat tactics!
I have seen proof that white hat SEO leads to rankings.
I have not seen proof that Social Signals alone will lead to rankings. I agree with EGOL - you should focus your attention on the quality of the content, and possibly more white-hat link building, rather than going ALL-IN on social.
Wow - PDF Branded Reports! Can't wait to see those!
I'm not sure what happened, but usually for authorship to work, there needs to be a place on the page where it says "By: Your Name", and your G+ profile needs to have that site included as a place where you contribute.
I couldn't find the "By: Your Name" anywhere on this page http://www.davescomputersinc.com/ipad-repair-bridgewater-nj/
I would add that text to the pages you would like authorship to appear on, and make sure your G+ profile is synced.
Good luck!
I would focus on the Page Title, and Duplicate Content stuff first.
The description tag won't hurt or help your ranking, it will just have an effect on your CTR.
Once you go through the Title & Content, start remedying the # of links.
Hope that helps.
From John Mueller
It's good to double-check these things, and it appears I was wrong there -- we do treat 410s slightly differently than 404s. In particular, we'll sometimes want to confirm a 404 before removing a URL from the index, and we tend to do that faster with a 410 HTTP result code. In practice, the difference is very small, and it's not critical to use a 410 if a URL is permanently removed. If you want to speed up the removal (and don't want to use a noindex meta tag or the urgent URL removal tools), then a 410 might have a small time-advantage over a 404.

Look in OSE: Showing only _rel=nofollow _links from external pages to pages on this root domain:
It shows only 17 no-follow external links to pages on your site.
Agree with Lynn and KempRuge. Hard to give feedback without more info.
I would add text based content to give your readers, and google, more info about the landing page.
Many webmasters, such as yourself are cautious and hesitant to use the disavow tool.
I would document that you contacted the webmaster and they required a payment of $.30 per links to have them removed, and send that info over to google after you use the disavow and put in a reconsideration request.

I would stick to the hyphens, and vertical bars. Google recognizes those two as separators.
While tildes, apersats, and slashes could hypothetically work as well - there will certainly not be any gained SEO advantage.
I agree with Jesse - this would cause major red flags to go up at google.
