Total Links vs Google Webmaster Site Links
-
I am interested why the numbers between SEOmoz and Google are so different.
In SEOmoz we only show 17,000ish links from 190ish domains.
In Google, we show 200,000+ links from 370 domains.
Why is there such a dramatic difference?

Spot on, I generally just use OSE to check out competitor's backlinks.
To me, nothing beats the back link results from WMT.
Also keep in mind that more tools beside OSE are avaible:
-
It may have to do with the size of the index is tool is reporting from - obviously Google has a much larger index of the web and therefor can see more links.

Attaining quality links from sites of a different language.
Working on a campaign for a Bed & Breakfast within non-english market. The possibilities of establishing quality links is very limited. However, as it is most of the time, there are plenty of english sites we can target. What is the latest news on achieving link presence on a site that does not match your own site's language? Given this campaign relates to travel; there shouldn't be an issue in achieving links on foreign sites, is there? Does the PR flow through just the same?

Any value in link building to local pages on my site?
If I'm trying to rank for the term 'wedding band' with my url: http://www.musicliveuk.com/home/wedding-bands will linking to local pages such as: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-bands/wedding-bands-london help the main page to rank? I added the 'local' pages to try and pick up any traffic from long tail search queries but my main focus is on getting the main page to rank as the traffic from long tail queries is so small. So is it worth me spending time building links to these local pages in order to try and help the main page rank?
