Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As I'm finding out in helping other peoples' sites, there are no shortcuts to work at getting real links to real resources that will be of real assistance to those who use the page/site. Any dummy links or bought links will get a short burst, but will be caught.  Google has gotten a whole lot quicker at it (Bing less so), and assesses penalties for it.

I'm still getting a bad canonical problem, even with every page having a rel="canonical". It even shows up in SEOmoz's stats, with it indexing 300+ pages when there's only 180-odd.  Trouble is, the .htaccess file says "FrontPage" not Apache.  Would your .htaccess thingy for Apache work there?  And is it the .htaccess that's in the url's folder with the rest of the site's regular files, or one that's in a prev. folder?

Yes, this just happened to me, too.  I don't know how long they keep them, though; maybe find out by trying the same thing later in the day, and a day, a week, a month later, and finding where it ends, or how quickly it changes from your own change of location (like, say, going from Long Island to Philly in a day).
