Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Ray, Have you attended one of our Weekly Webinars on Fridays? It's an introduction to SEOmoz Pro, with a person from the help team leading the webinar and answering your questions. There are details at http://www.seomoz.org/dp/welcome-webinars For future reference you can crawl up to 3,000 pages on demand with our Crawl Test tool at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test, which can help you out between regularly scheduled crawls. Here's a thread from people asking if SEOmoz Pro is worth the money. It may give you some insight as to what other people find useful. http://www.seomoz.org/q/do-you-think-seomoz-work-the-monthly-fee-if-you-re-not-a-professional-seo I hope this helps, and let me know if I can offer any other advice.

mind is blown at people moaning about weekly on page factors. I think it's great, made a lot of changes ( can only be positive! ) but ye, maybe more updates on link building etc would be cool!

Yes that will work.

You seem to have evaluated things well, i will give you one reason why yopu should not, links pointing to the non indexed pages will be pouring their link juice away. , you are better off using a no-index,follow meta tag, at least then the link juice will flow back out of the links when followed. Robots text is a nasty tool to use, you need a more surgical approch
