No difference anymore between 301 and 302
There's a lot of nuance to what is being said there. As others in the community have said, if you were going to test it out yourself on your own site and put your own income and business on the line, would you choose a 302 over a 301 without testing it? We saw what happened to Wired as they were going HTTPS and used 302s - https://www.wired.com/2016/09/wired-completely-encrypted/ Google has also said, and some people have been able to test for different reasons, that if a 302 is left in place long enough then Google may start treating them like 301s and start passing link equity through a 302. But, that's a lot of ifs and uncertainties, at least way too many for me.

Google ignoring the Title Tag?
I've seen the same happening when a title (tag) is too short, as Martijn says, Google provides the user with a more relevant title, in case the original title isn't. In my case the H2 on the page was used as it was probably more relevant than the title tag or H1.

About link building in 2015?
Hi there I would say that most of this list still stands. A couple of things I would point out: Anchor text - Try and steer clear of exact match anchor text. It can trip spam filters if you have too much of that going on in your backlink profile. Try to make more use of branded anchor text. You can read more here. nofollow links - Don't disregard links because they are nofollow. They can be valuable and important, especially if that link is relevant to your business and helps expands your visibility to your audience. There's a great article here about nofollow. PageRank - Google doesn't update this metric anymore. You can read more here. There are metrics elsewhere via OSE and more below that I list that you can find just as useful. All in all - the best way to define a bad link is to use your own intuition and common sense: Does this link help my website? Is this link relevant to my website? Would I trust this site (that's linking to me) if I landed on it? Is the website or content in which I am being linked from topically relevant to my website? If you check metrics - does anything about the metrics (domain authority, page authority, Majestic, SEMRush traffic/ranking data, etc) make me feel uneasy? Truthfully though, if you're asking that many questions about a link and still going, it's probably not a good link. A good link, in my opinion, is one when you see it, you just know that's a link that you want and that you can greatly benefit from with no hidden or false intentions. No need for tools - unless it's citation building like Moz Local or Whitespark. Those can be helpful! This list from Rand is still helpful though and interesting. Hope this helps! Good luck!

Will background images get indexed?
On my site there is a gallery made by images embedded as background images. Google doesn't see them.

Too many onpage links?
As per SEOMOZ 100 links are perfect from one page but most of the big e-commerce brand using more than 100 links in one page and coming in SERP's with good ranking so i think may be it's SEOMOZ personal view. Thanks, Akhilesh

I don't see all my campaigns
S_Curtis is correct in that if you created a campaign in Pro, you'll be able to see it in Pro and Moz Analytics. If you created the campaign in Moz Analytics, you'll only be able to see it in Moz Analytics.

MozCon?
There won't be a MozCon. It's always going to be in Seattle. What can happen is if MozCation comes to you. You can nominate your city for Mozcation.

Rankings in Google.be - 3 languages
Hi Nancy, Thanks for reaching out. When you're in your campaign settings, the order of the engines you select is the order of the rankings that are displayed. So the top engine is the first ranking, the middle engine is the second ranking, and the bottom engine is the third ranking. Hope this helps! Thanks for pointing this out -- it is a bit confusing! I'm forwarding this over to the correct department so we can see if we can get this fixed and explained a bit better. Keri
