In Adwords the | (pipe) is not allowed in ads anymore. Maybe this is the case for organic too. You can use a - (dash) though and you should be good to go.

I was going to say the same thing. Also bring business cards. Make a friend, not an acquaintance. There will be 1 party after each Moz day. You can meet people there too. Last time I was at MozCon I stayed the weekend and took the Seattle Underground Tour. Explore Seattle, it's cheap. Oh, use the lunch time to mingle.

@BJS, I would export a file from GWT  and filter the results. If your URLs are in GWT, then most likely it's indexed in Google.

Hey Zeph! Hope your company is doing great.

@Ben, screaming frog is good for this. You will need to get the paid version of it. There is a video on the site http://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/. Use filters to get to your real URLs.

I think you should first have your customized link building strategy drawn out for you 1st. If the companies you seek cannot meet those standards, pass on them. Get them to give you all their work so you know they aren't messing around.

I had a person contact me last week and wanted me to help them with link build for $400/mo. I told him I can't pay anyone that little. At $400/mo, I would be forced to SPAM.

You can find several link building companies here in SEOMOZ.

One of the tools I use for linkbuilding is Buzzstream. Take a look at that company. It'll help streamline your outreach.
