So I know have seen how my websites have taken a nose dive from the google farmer update most likely with traffic significantly hit. Example site is callcatalog.com. What recommendations are there to deal with the new world order? How can we look at optimizing, changing, modifying our process to improve rankings and traffic?

RE: Maintaining a Network of Websites
Why does it matter as long as they have different c-class IPs? Though I don't really have the correct answer, the does your recommendation really make a difference?

Though I haven't read this book, I'm curious how much some SEO thoughts have been put on a tail spin given Google's new farmer update???

RE: What are the first linkbuilding actions I should take?
Agreed, as that would seem a little more natrual. After I let one website age, I then used some directory postings -- I knonw alot of people don't like those, but they helped me gradually grow as a next step

RE: Reducing duplicate content
if I added a no index meta tag, then wouldn't it not show up in the google search index? Google lists many of my no-content pages and people show up on them. Any other ideas?

RE: Repeat Keyword Phrase or Use Variations
I'd look at variations to minimize the thought of duplicate content. Also, it allows you to develop additional keywords -- possibly "long tail"

RE: The first 5 or what? How many words in page title = revelancy for onpage seo?
You only want no more than 70 characters. You also want a meta description, keyword aren't really useful.

Reducing duplicate content
Callcatalog.com is a complaint directory for phone numbers. People post information on the phone calls they get. Since there are many many phone numbers, obviously people haven't posted information on ALL of the phone numbers, THUS I have many phone numbers with zero content. SEOMoz is telling me that pages with zero content looks like duplicate content with each other..
The only difference between two pages that have zero coments is the title and phone number embedded in the page. For example, http://www.callcatalog.com/phones/view/413-563-3263 is a page that has zero comments..
I don't want to remove these zero comment phone number pages from the directory since many people find the pages via a phone number search.
Here's my question: what can I do to make google / seomoz think that thexe zero comment pages is not dupliicate content?
