I think you should implement meta noindex to prevent duplicate content issues.

RE: Are all duplicate content issues bad? (Blog article Tags)
I don't think standard tags get used much by visitors. Related posts, especially if acompanied by thumbnail images, perform much better in my experience.

RE: Seperate Blog vs Blog in Site
Agreed, building authority on one site trumps trying to work on multiple - otherwise you are doubling your efforts and splitting your results.

RE: What would be the best way to translate my website for international seo?
My opinion, if you're going to do it, do it properly.
I've had great and affordable results hiring translators on Odesk. Get them to do a sample and have another, or multiple native speakers review it. If you can't afford to translate an entire site, consider just doing a mini version of the site or just core pages in another language.

RE: Thoughts on Proactive Link Disavow
If anyone else is interested in this topic, Enrico Altavilla pointed me in the direction of this Matt Cutts video, which encourages the practice. The comments are pretty damming, however.

RE: SEO for FMCG
Start with the SEOmoz SEO Guide - it covers most of what you are after, once you have the basics down start looking through (searching) SEOmoz blog posts to get more specific on each of the 4 areas you've outlined.

RE: How long til meta robots noindex takes effect?
There's no set time, typically it can take a week or two, I've seen it take a month or longer though to completely noindex all desired results on bigger sites.
There's no harm in re-submtting the site, try submitting URL and all linked pages via webmaster tools, it may help get crawled a little faster.

RE: Is link disavow becoming a necessary defensive strategy?
Hi Jan,
I posted a similar question just the other day (http://moz.com/community/q/thoughts-on-proactive-link-disavow)
Sheldon commented on that question with a link to an interesting G+ Hangout where they touched on it slightly. You might want to check that out.
I also posted the question on G+ and got a number of replies which may be interesting to checkout:

Like most things SEO, there are people on both sides of the fence. One side suggessts that you don't want touch the disavow tool unless you get a warning email (or penalty) from Googs. The other side are all for regularly, proactively disavowing junk. You may need to take all the available info into consideration and make your own judgement call.
Hope this helps.

RE: Ghostwriting, blogging, and rel=author
Technically it is gaming, but it happens more often than you think.
I, personally am a bit of a perfectionist and wouldn't be able to put my name to anyone else's work.

RE: Conversion Rate Optimization Coruses?
Google doesn't have a cert but the two providers I'd recommend would be:
Market Motive: Conversion Optimization Training and Certification
Marketing Experiments Landing Page Optimization course

RE: SEO for E-Commerce
Nice one, John.
Also specific to e-commerce sites, often they have the same product description copied from the manufacturer as thousands of other sites. Unique product descriptions and UGC, such as ratings and reviews can help make product pages unique.

RE: Buzz Bundle by www.link-assistant.com
"Create up to 100 personas with dozens of social accounts each."
"It's the software with the broadest coverage: up to 100 Twitter accounts, up to 100 Facebook and Google+ profiles, thousands of forum and blog accounts"
"Make one-click bulk announcements to all social sites"
If it looks, sounds and smells like spam...

RE: Page URL - Hyphens or Underscores?
It shouldn't make a massive difference, but...
Dashes are typically treated as separators
Underscores are typically joined

RE: Blogger and labels
Labels are used to categorize your posts, used correctly they can be helpful. Instead of re-iterating what these posts say, I'll just point you to them:

RE: I want to upload one of my youtube videos to my Google+ Account.
You can grab the video URL (or click share on youtube to copy the URL) and paste it in Google+, just like you would a normal status update. It will then embed it for you

RE: Multiple domains different content same keywords
301 the additional domains to the one you want to focus on - except the domain that has the penalty, if you're certain it does.

RE: Silo and content
Forget about forcing 4 subpages of low quality content just because you read that somewhere.
If you don't have the content don't create subpages.

RE: Setting up Google + Business Pages for Multiple Clients
You can have multiple admins and you can transfer ownership, I believe there is a 2 week period before they can remove the previous admin.

RE: Exponentially Increasing Duplicate Content On Blogs
With Wordpress you can no-index category pages, tags, author pages, archives etc.
Most of the SEO plugins let you do this, I know Yoast's plugin does it for sure.
Also make sure your site is using canonical tags and you should be good.

RE: Monitor Social Traffic
Raven Tools has a social media monitoring tool. I haven't used it myself in a while and I beleive they recently updated it. Check it out here: http://raventools.com/tools/social-media-monitor/

RE: Should I remove the Jetpack Plugin From A SIte
Yoast's is an SEO plugin, Jetpack is quite broad and varied (and not really SEO focused at all) in what it offers, so I don't believe it's an either/or decision.

RE: Favorite to many tweets: a violation?
I don't beleive you will get in trouble for favoriting too many tweets as it doesn't breach any of their T&Cs, guidelines.
If you used some kind of automation software to interact with Twitter, that may be another issue.

RE: E-commerce site product descriptions and duplicate content
Have you considered scaling the task, rewriting perhaps the top 20% of products to begin with?
It is a massive undertaking, but I think you'll find it'll be worth it.

RE: So I know my website needs work, how do I go about fixing it now and improve my ranks?
Without you providing additional information, basically you need to start working through your list and addressing the issues, based on which are the most pressing. You probably want to take a look at the Moz SEO guide and make sure you're following best practices in optimising the site overall.
