Hi vmotuz,
Typically folks here are already working. Calls out like this may not be the best way to offer a legitimate job opportunity, especially when noting that recommended firms here are not what you're looking for.
I suggest just posting your issues here and get the help of the community for free! Give you a fish, eat for a day. Teach you to fish and eat for life. Something like that. Be happy to point you in the right direction for your key words and landing pages.
Uh, I can't think of a reason to do that really, especially for internal links. I can't imagine those are paid links, so I'd remove the nofollow. And I'd take out that link to the developer's blog, too. Bring out the axe!
Without knowing what sites, I'm guessing these pages or the indexes have been cached. That data refresh will depend on how long it takes to recrawl all those sites. Just a hunch.
Since your using Volusion, you'll need to check their documentation and contact their support to see what can be done. You can certainly add parameters and tell GWT how to handle these search and sort URLs, and you can edit your robots.txt to block search engines from indexing those overly dynamic pages.
Maybe you can turn off the sorting, pagination, and search features if you don't need them, but do it to improve the visitor experience, not for the search engines.
But I doubt those pages get indexed by Google now anyway, so don't worry too much. These aren't going to hurt your rank for the majority of your key words and target pages (unless of course your key word is "searching").
I still have problems connecting G+ to my campaigns here. There some tips that work for some but not for me and I really don't know why.
Nice question. Stumped me and I had to go find the answer because I typically add two or three links with different anchor text on my home page to one or two important pages on the site, i.e. the action pages like contact us or order forms.
Anyway, I found this video and think it probably not worth the time to go through a vast number of pages to change anchor text. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYWlEItizjI
This may not answer your question but make your question seem like a relatively less urgent matter.
Just answered this question here other day: http://moz.com/community/q/crawl-diagnostics-7
Hi Andy,
Interesting project. So you want a Wordpress multisite or do you want to move all your content to a single domain? It would help if we could get your URL to see what's going on. Moving sites is painful, especially because you will undoubtedly take a hit in the rankings for awhile.
After thinking about this for just a few minutes, I wonder why you need to put all the content from each site under blog. Why not keep products, directory and blog? And just after writing that question, now I know I need more details in order to give you sound advice. Post back with specific domains if you still need help.
Cheers!
Hum, this question has been asked five times in two days. Maybe I should write a post?

Coinidentally, I just touched on that today here http://moz.com/community/q/duplicate-title-tags-how-to-solve-that
I would go the way of subfolder over subdomain. There is a lot of info out there, but the crux of it comes down to all traffic improving domain rank for a single TLD. If you go the route of ccTLDs instead of subfolders, then you're spitting that rank among those domains. What circumstances would prevent you from concentrate all link juice to one domain? Then that duplicate content issue you're fearing becomes a nonissue.
I feel your pain on this one. But really you don't have to worry much about two or three URLs pointing to the same pages, especially if they are from the same domain and you declare the page language in HTML http://www.w3.org/International/geo/html-tech/tech-lang.html#ri20050208.095812479
Where you might get in trouble is having too many indexed pages with the same content hosted on many different domains. So if domain1.com, domain23.net, etc. all host the same content, or if many domains point to the same IP, then Google might have something to say about that. That kind of stuff raises a red flag. But what your doing shouldn't hurt you.
Contraire mon frere! You can have the content appear to visitors above the fold but have the content of the code appear far down the page using CSS content folding. That's definitely worth a read! Search for articles on that and you'll see what I mean.

Well after taking a quick peek, it seems you are a directory. You should really read up on how Google treats directories, especially when it comes to SEO. I say this because after 10 random clicks on your site, I never got to a page with any content. All links, so that is very likely hurting you. Something else is the ads on your site above the fold without any content. There was big news about that late last year.
Looks like you could add quite a bit on the structure data side of things, like for people, events, companies, etc. Also, take your text out of your images and publish it in HTML so Google can read it.
Looks like you're using mcroformat, opengraph, and microdata. Google promotes Schema.org so you should use that.
Also, get a Google+ account and establish authorship, then include that, too.
I don't remember the exact wording but I have seen errors on some of my pages in the past that the rich snippets won't show because the content in the snippet is not relevant to the content on the page. Something like that.
What should be showing that's not there?
Use the Google Rich Snippet Testing tool http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets
Your snippets are showing fine, but you should mark up your reviews section. Also best not to mix schemas.
The word your looking for is content personalization. It's the new thing with CMS providers, especially e-commerce sites. Most platforms with this feature are commercial, but there options like http://wordpress.org/plugins/siteapps/. I haven't used that plugin but it looks promising.
An addition to your latest post.
Question is why you want to add so much content for search engines on YouTube? You want people to find your results on YouTube or you own site? Maybe explain what your doing in more detail so I don't assume the worst here. I'll surely try to help.
Interesting that many folks still think hosting videos on YouTube help with ranking. Sure, keep your visitors on your site, but more often than not, visitors prefer to watch a larger video on YouTube. They leave your site, possibly break your analytics funnels, maybe increase bounce rate, and you even have distracting ads on the videos.
I'd try something like Vzaar or host on your own server. Calculate if your bandwidth would cost anything and get all that traffic, especially if the video URL is your own domain. Add that to a video sitemap, mark it up with schema.org, and then you have something that would help you much more than pushing your video out to sites that want to earn money from people watching your branded content.
But if you still wanna do that, of course all the social media sites like Google+, Facebook, etc, then there is this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_hosting_services
