Garbled URL's in Private Messages.
-
Every time I try to put a url in a Private message it gets garbled up with extra chars and then won't go to the right place.

Becomes:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mariah58973jhsdfui-Carle%8594743Photography
Ok after that test I deliberately garbled a url and it STILL work in the open forums....
-
http://www.facebook.com/MariahCarlePhotography
That might be part of the problem...

Very strange indeed...
I'd submit a ticket to SEOMoz tech support or shoot a quick email to help@seomoz.org. They usually get back to you and resolve issues very quickly. I haven't personally experienced this, so I've got nothing.
Blessing in disguise though...
I did notice you haven't set up your Facebook page username yet, and you've got waaay more than the 25 fans you need to set one up.
Just click Edit Page under the Manage menu at the top right of your FB page, and then click Basic Information in the left menu. You should see Username near the top. I'm sure you can take it from there.
You'll be able to link to facebook.com/MariahCarlePhotography rather than www.facebook.com/pages/Mariah-Carle-Photography/162925300446877
... so at least the garbled up URLs will be shorter

Why Doesn't Open Site Explorer show Domain Links from Twitter, WordPress or Feedburner?
I commented on a few blog posts and wanted to see the domain authority of those sites. When I look at our domain links, I notice the links are not there from the blogs (which I now know I have to give it time to show up). But I also noticed that domains with links to our website (regularly) were not showing up either. i .e Twitter, WordPress and Feedburner. I know we have links in these locations, especially Twitter. Why would these domains not show up? Much thanks!

Can overly dynamic URLs be overcome with canonical meta tags?
I tried searching for questions regarding dynamic URLs and canonical tags, but I couldn't find anything s hopefully this hasn't been covered. There are a large number of overly dynamic URLs reported in our site crawl (>7,000). I haven't looked at each of these, but most of these either have a canonical meta tag or have are indicated as FOLLOW, NO INDEX pages. Will these be enough to overcome any negative SEO impact that may come from overly dynamic URLs? We are down to almost 0 critical errors and this is now the biggest problem reported by the site crawl after too many on page links.
