Google plus, Twitter and Facebook link - does it help?
Yes, do it. It helps twofold. First: pages linked to in twitter were almost instantly crawled and indexed. Secondly: Twitter / FB Shares and G+ all create links, thus generating a little buzz signaling google that your site is still active. Just ask a few friends to share the links / retweet now and then. Especially FB shares are more valuable then likes. I am pretty sure, that these signals will help a lot in the near future. Esp. Bing uses FB data already.

Competition links make no sense
So sorry you are seeing this. It is a known bug that is being worked on, and a lot of it should be taken care of by the October 18th update. Like Ryan suggested, emailing help is a good step. For more information, see the response from a Linkscape engineer in this thread: http://www.seomoz.org/q/weird-behaviour

What are no followed links?
SEOmoz linkscape presents both, that's why you can filter them to see just external nofollowed links or just internal ones.

Joomla problem, title tag too long
In Joomla you have you can set up page titles in several places. Global configuration includes use Site Title in page title, Most templates (I just looked at one in JSN Epic) have an SEO option - Enable website title, and you have the option for each page to set metadata options (meta description is here and there is a sitewide meta description). So, most likely what is happening is you have your settings where you are picking up the site title on every page and then you have put a title on every page (this is the one where alias is under Title). I would suggest going to Global Configuration and to the right side where it says include site name in page title, mark that as NO. Save and close then look at site (after refreshing). Run SEOmoz page elements before and after and see if there is a change. _If not, you can go back and re check to yes include site title in page titles. (This way you are only changing one thing at a time which is important to track the error and know you are correct). _ If you are still having the problem with meta description, go to Global Config and cut the site meta description out and paste it somewhere else (I am pretty sure you have to be using Explorer for cut and paste in Joomla) or copy it to somewhere so that you do not have to rewrite. Once there is no site meta description, save and close again. Refresh again and run page content from SEOmoz toolbar on a couple of pages. If each page has been given a separate meta desc. then you should be seeing that as opposed to site meta. (Typically the site meta is for the feature page which for our uses is always the home page). Let us know how this works out and we will follow along. Best.

Too many links on my site
Thanks a lot for the help. I realised too that the tag cloud is a real pain because it did compete with great pages if my site for a particular keyword so I put a no follow on these results and think will have to do it for each tag.
