Thanks, Rand.  It's kind of an honor to have you speaking up on my little question here!

It's probably predictable that someone (or more than one) would try to monetize this sort of trick, because of the Google pronouncements that you mentioned and the other articles that have appeared about CTR and time-on-site behavior.

Too bad.  I guess that we all have to actually earn all those visits and page views.  

Thanks, Ray.  What you said confirms what I speculated - too good to be true.  And not entirely above-board, either.

It seems like a less-than-white hat approach, and anyway I don't know whether or not it could work.

Does anyone have any advice about it?

Thanks!

Never mind.  I figured it out (the solution i discovered: export the rankings data to a csv file; perhaps there's a better way, but it works).

Simple question: once you've built up a big set of keywords within Moz, how do you export it back out to use in other places?

Joel - Thank you for taking time to respond to my question.  I appreciate your help!

Is anyone else interested in offering their input?

Thanks,

Tim

My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1

That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links.

I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs.

I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio.

Am I correct about that?

Thanks,
Tim

PS - I don't know whether or not this matters, but our website is at: www.trustworthycare.com - Tim

Interesting.  I ask because I own an independent (not franchised) business that provides non-medical in-home caregiving services, allowing the elderly to continue living in their own homes instead of having to move to nursing homes.  I was speculating that that might be the industry of the client that you were asking about, or something similar.

I like Mike's answer and it led me to wonder: I wonder whether the original poster would be willing to state what industry is this company in?
