First links for a new site?
I started with guest blogging. It worked great to get some nice targeted back links but also kept you in the practice of writing. Another not well known trick that i found is that scribd.com still offers followed backlinks if your documents reach a certain number of views. Cheers - Kyle

Ecommerce affiliate marketing comparison engine
I don't think you understood my question. I know I can join multiple affiliate networks, my question is more getting at whether there is an ecommerce platform, that you can put on a website, that would compare products across different networks (for the user).

Call extension only showing with some keywords/ads?
found the answer, in case anyone else is wondering "Keep in mind that your ad group will have to receive a minimum number of clicks to be able to show call extensions. In case your traffic is unable to meet that minimum requirement the ad will display w/o the call extensions." -source: https://www.en.adwords-community.com/t5/Manage-ads/Call-Extensions-Not-Appearing/m-p/44248/highlight/true#M4032

Title changed in local pack, unchanged in local plus?!
Interesting suggestion from SEOSHARK regarding citations, but, basically, Google does the choosing when it comes to what they display about your business. Is the title you don't like actually incorrect (such as incorrectly listing your business name)? If so, you could try reporting this as a problem to the Google and Your Business forum, but if there isn't actually anything incorrect in it, you're pretty much stuck with what Google considers to be most relevant. Sorry not to have a happy solution on this one.

Affiliate code in urls? affiliate link landing pages?
Interesting question there Mozzin, I think it depends on how you are tracking the urls. I think it will also come down to the number of affiliate urls that you have coming in and also whether they are followed or no followed. We tried to change some of these affiliate urls to no-follow and saw a bit of change in rankings following one of the Google updates to do with links. (correlation does not mean causation). As for using iframes maybe you can take a look at this post here on Moz, http://www.seomoz.org/q/using-iframes-for-affiliate-ads

Call-to-action is literally a call/dialing a number...
Ring Central has forwarding numbers that you can use. Place the forwarding number on your landing page and Ring Central generates real-time call log reports for your forwarding number.

Is there a PPC basics guide?
David's recommendation is good. I am not aware of any simple, quality AdWords guide like the Beginner's Guide to SEO. A few other great resources: -http://www.google.com/ads/agency/toolkit.html official adwords blog not a beginner's book but still awesome: Brad Geddes Advanced Google AdWords Google Engage Basic Training (AdWords for agencies) Free AdWords book from O'Reilly Probably the best way to go is download the free book and go from there.
