The last 2-4 month have been up and down for OSE. My homepage is getting new links almost daily, clean white hat links but my have not increased, it actually drops while my rankings increase. Webmaster tools counts over 4000 linking domains while OSE counts 41..
Pretty nice answear, there Gay! I got a few pointers my self. U can make or brake these infographics very easy if you dont get it right.
I really agree with you here. I'v seen a big increase in number of people that clicks on ads.
Try [exact match] KW with relevant landing page and appealing adtext.
Is the whole site based on crawling and xml submission? i have seen a similar effect when alot of content was feeded in. the relevance drops since it looks like copied content can you twist of add content to your feed? That might help and try to get more unique content. There must be loads of cuponers that have cupons or know about cupons and would like too submit, exchange, or even trade cupons with others? Am I right?
Shema.org is great for rich serps. But I have seen this before even for my own site without using shema.org.
I guess its relevance and how your site is built. For instanse if your site (lets say yoursite.com/music) is a feed witch displays new elements all the time its not unusual to se results with some text and then +15 elements showing titles and ratings if that is a part of your content. Remember shema.org is pretty fresh and we have seen rish serps before that 
Itunes is a BIG brand so for google to manually build this is a great reward for googlers.
So basicly my answear is build your site so that its easy for google to crawl AND include shema.org to be on the safe side and get it as you want it.
I'm with you on that! Great content and well presented content will give you links.
In fact it is as simple as that, as long as you have the best content, product, presentation or navigation. Look at your competition and make sure that your site, content, product is 10% better than theirs.
I would agree on guestblogging, great content and PR in a good mix. If you do that well links will keep rolling in by the time you get good positions in the SERP.
Look at you competition, what do they do? Are your content better then theirs? Or could you present it better?
It's pretty simple to get links as long as your content, brand, presentation is the best out there.
Great idea, that karma is gonna get you paid in the long run. The future is helping people and the philosophy "earn little by many"
That will confuse the engine if you ask me. Even if the engines crawl your page and put into index doesnt mean it's a good way to approach SEO.
I say get rid of the meta title and stick with just the
make it look like this<a href="" rel="nofollow"></a>

Dont delete your fanpage if you havent already snatched an alias!
Its a better way to do it:
That should do it for you, it might take an hour or two before the name is available for you.
I would say the more the marier all though PR 6 is stronger. Do both but if you have to choose go for the domain that is similar to your content that has given me the best result so far.
Also remember that traffic with high quality has a great impact on rankings. Rand about user metrics.
Basicly if you write for a blog that has similar content and the traffic brings visitors with low bounce rate and so on you should keep blogging.
mynewsdesk.com is a site witch you should consider for PR. Doesnt answear your question but is a great tool
Is it ranking for some keywords or did you simply search for you sitemap? In that case I really dont see the problem. Then I rather google indexed my sitemap.
It would be easier if i knew more about your brand, product, service.
Reasons for someone to follow you: - Quality content
If you have traffic to your homapage:
And I guess, just take it from there 
I'v had real time for a couple of weeks now, its fun to follow instant and see how the user navigates througt your site but more then that??... I cant see it.
I haven't seen any drops in google organic yet and I still get data for all my keywords, I wonder how this will turn out.
I target my keyword in the alt tag and give the title an informative and userfriendly description with the keyword in it.
I'm with you on that one! But I can really see why they doesnt, like you say the serp changes every day but it's really the big picture you should keep track on. if your site drops one day and you make changes based on that you might get bad results since that could just be a short drop only to rank higher the next day.
By following the big picture you will have better grounds for making changes. I mean you have to sleep aswell?
"Ensure your 404 page is helpful. It should contain your site's normal navigation bar along with a search box."
good point, there is nothing worse than a 404 with no information. Something to consider is the amount of fun you can do with the 404 landing page.
I have had good social reactions from this.
