Where do i begin?

I have just set up a campaign - what is the best way to dig into this and start making a difference in my SEO?
-
Mmm... not really.
For instance, if a blog site is linking to a competitor site, study why and how it did it. Maybe it is citing the competitor site in a more generic post related to the industry you and your competitor are part of. Or maybe it is reviewing one of its services/products.
In both cases you are legitimate to contact that blog and try to earn a link from it.

Apart what said by Highland, start checking the crawling information. The campaign will show at first just 250 pages crawl, in order to give you a first glimpse of the on site issues your site may have. After few day you will have all the pages of your site crawled.
Use the keyword tracker and connect your Google Analytics account to the campaign. After few days the crossed data will start showing you potential low hanging fruits.
Said that, I suggest you to attend the free webinar SEOmoz weekly does for all those ones starting using the campaign tools as you: http://www.seomoz.org/webinars

is it poor etiquette to request links from those sites that are linking to the competitor? what is the best way of going about getting links?
-
Start with Open Site Explorer (doesn't require any time for spidering, etc). Compare your sites to your competitors. Start building links as best as you can.
Once your campaign is done with the initial crawl, analyze your competitors. What are they doing right and where are they weak?

Is This a Misuse of Structured Data (JSON Recipe Tag on Collection Pages)?
I've noticed that many food blogs use the "recipe" tag to rank collection pages in carousels. For example, for the search term "Zucchini Recipe," Gaumenfreundin is in the first position in the carousel with a page that contains multiple recipes. This makes sense if the user intent is plural (e.g., "recipes") - but in the singular? According to Google's guidelines, the recipe tag is intended for individual recipes. Google even states that it is a misuse if only the ingredients are listed without the steps. So, isn't it against the guidelines to tag a collection page (even additionally) with the recipe tag? This practice is already common in the US market. Is Google aware of this and possibly tolerating it because it sometimes makes sense to present multiple recipes to the user? For example, "Zucchini Recipe" - the user might not yet know exactly what they want to cook with zucchini. Or do you think Google will take action against this practice in the future?

On-page SEO
This is a question for the organic SEO experts, once you added the main keyword that you want to rank for in the homepage title, meta title plus meta description, perhaps once or twice in the text on the homepage. How often do you then write it in the content marketing, say blog posts, we want to rank higher on Google for "SEO agencies Cardiff" however if you mention this in the blog posts too much say once a week, this could lead to over optimisation issues?

Downsides on shortening article title?
Hi there, I'm new to Moz: great tool so far! I just tried the page optimization feature and see that (for instance for this article) page titles are often too long. Now it's tempting to just shorten the title straight away, but I have a memory of someone once telling me changing the title will change the URL. And changing the URL is something not appreciated by Google. Could someone please explain if and why this is/isn't the case? And if there are any downsides/things to consider before changing the article's title? Thank you in advance!

Meta descriptions
Whats the deal with the date at the start of the meta descriptions? I have not really looked into this but I'm guessing its a blog thing? Take this search http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=6packproject#hl=en&xhr=t&q=interview+with+paul+knight&cp=26&pf=p&sclient=psy&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=interview+with+paul+knight&pbx=1&fp=835cd241c8d51fff The beautifully crafted meta description is now being cut short even though its within the character limit and is now only showing 36 characters! Is there a way to remove this? Thanks in advance
