Brent, we'd be interested in hearing what you chose to do in the case with the employee bios, and if you encountered anything unexpected.

That will tell you the number indexed, but it still doesn't tell you which of those URLs are or are not indexed. I think we all wish it would!

I'll be there. It'll be my first MozCon, and I'm real excited to be able to attend this year.

I'll just say I don't quite adhere to all of the TAGFEE bullet points and make sure that I'm not wearing my SEOmoz tshirt when I reply.

Hi Ryhs,

Here are a couple of other Q&A threads and posts that may provide some ideas. I don't do a lot of link outreach myself, but I do get a fair amount of spam link requests that are obviously taken from a boilerplate and not customized. Those never get a response from me, unless I'm in a bad mood, and then it's not a positive response.

Hi Jay,

So glad to hear you're coming to Mozcon! It's my first year coming as well, so I've dropped Jen Lopez a note and asked her to add a comment to this Q&A with more information about Mozcon and attendance. In the meantime, did you see this blog post from a couple of months ago? http://www.seomoz.org/blog/announcing-mozcon-2011
