I have to disagree with Wesley a little, I don't think nofollow should ever be used on any internal links, as any juice that was going to be passed is then lost (thrown out the window), it is not "saved". Its better just to "noindex" pages you don't want to rank (as Wesley said).
No follow should only be used for external site links that you don't want to "vouch" for. (eg links from comments section etc)
hmm, myblogguest has also been recommended by Rand

thanks for bring it to my attention
check his "Link Anchor Text" via OSE, see how natural the back links are (he might be using a lot of anchor text in these new links)
You could also use "Just-Discovered" in OSE, to see what he is up to.
If hes buying links and breaking penguin rules I wouldn't be that worried, but it is always worrying when you see a competitor start to seo stuff, some day he might start doing it right 
So did you urls change when you upgraded the site? If so did you 301 redirect them correctly? Or are they all 404s now?
I don't think moz tracks Seznam, but it does do google.cz ( if its like google vs bing, then serps would not be a million miles away from each other)
Btw according to wikipedia seznam is number 2, to google (but very close)
I agree with Tom and Lynn. It would be technically possible if you make sure there is no connection with the site, (who is, theme, content, different host/ ip range, etc), there would be no way for google to know one person is behind it.
But the amount of work to do that with white hat methods would be incredibly hard ( even with black hat it would be very hard), for a decent keyword worth ranking for..... I don't think its possible these days.
sounds right, OSE does not get all links, I have found links it has missed a few in the past (normally low DA sites) or it might take 2 crawls before it picks it up. If its still missing after the next crawl or too, might be worth reporting (since it a big PA backlink)
In (very) short, "Seo" does not cover all what Moz now does, it has expanded from that. (+ there are other reasons, see article above)
yes, you can track google.co.uk, bing.co.uk etc in your campaigns
Clearly methods on blackhatworld work, ( or it would not exists), but the questions what type of site does it work for. Some one with multiple disposable domains with affiliate links as the earner that if they lost one of them, it would be annoying but would not be the end of the world, they just start again. Or it it a long term investment brand (e-commerce store? ) if de-listed by google would be the end of the world.
It depends on your position. But I don't think you should do both black and white hat, because once you get hit by google badger update, all that white hat will be wasted, (or you spend a very long time undoing the black hat work, and even then you don't know if its worth it as it might have been only the black hat stuff that was making you rank)
yeah it a more complex system, but I have seen it been used before and seen other offer this type of think before and at some stage it did work, and maybe it still does to a degree.
It basicly their plan is: crap ---> shite ---> balls ---> yourwebsite = win!!
but more importantly its the type of thing google does not want you to do and its some thing that could be spotted and so they will target it in the future (badger update?), so long term its not is a good strategy IMO.
I would rather but the $169 toward getting some real "beautiful" blog post/ info-graphs etc, because you don't have to worry about those links biting you in the ass in a few years.
"creating beautiful web 2.0 posts with well-written unique content on premium web 2.0 hosts"
so submitting blog articles to crappy 2.0 blog networks? This is the type of stuff google is targeting, I would stay away.
$169 for 10 good articles, on 10 actually good blogs you would want a backlink from is too good to be true....
I don't know the company, but that my (cynical) opinion
when did you add <meta name="<a class="attribute-value">robots</a>" content="<a class="attribute-value">noindex,nofollow</a>" />, the page was cached on the 30th of may, maybe google has not crawled the page since it has been added.
I can confirm chris is correct, our crappy CMS does the same thing (for certain pages), and the pages are not indexed
I can't tell you which is the best as I have only used a few (I think most people are the same)
I have used zen-cart alot, and with ceon-seo module (free), I have had very good results seo wise. But I had to do alot of custom work to it (eg rich snips etc), but the good thing about opensource your in complete control, it also has a good community.
But I would guess its not the best option out there, but I would recommend it for small businesses that want to get started on the small budget.
A competitor used x-cart and he does very well seo wise (rich snips and all), but I have no idea if that's out of the box, or they have done alot of custom work on it.
Currently we are on a small closed E-commerce CMS (not zen-cart) which is very frustrating, I so I'm planning to migrate to a different E-commerce. Magento seems to be the top contender, but as someone with experience with it, what's its pros and cons?
that page seem fine, and it also indexed by google, so I'm not sure whats the story with that. Might be best to contact seomoz support (help@moz.com I think)
can you give an example of one of the pages the is "blocked_google"
Btw try screeming frog ( you can do 500 pages for free), it should pick up the same error and might explain why.
OK found one problem
on this page
http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/ReindersICT.aspx
you have a link to
http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/OverOdin/LesscherIT.aspx
which i think should be
ok I did a quick screaming fog and I think I have an idea, you just have to follow the breadcrumbs
You said in you example "In Links 9", you need to find out what those pages are and follow it back to the point of origin As I think its just one bad link that cause this nested link effect.
eg
http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/OverOdin/OverOdin/OverOdin/HeutinkICT.aspx
is being linked from
http://www.odin-groep.nl/Home/ctl/OverOdin/OverOdin/OverOdin/StationtoStation.aspx (as well as others)
You just have to follow that trail till you find the source of the problem
