Welcome to the Q&A Forum

To me this is a simple solution. Make your content more valuable. The high bounce rate is because readers dont want to see what you are displaying.

Hustler has a very good point about your traffic sources. I spent the last 2 months converting my site as a precautionary measure and Im ready. My advice would be to stay away from quick fixes. Start your conversion on high traffic pages and slowly work your way through to the lower end pages.

The solution is simple. Remember usability is key to the user experience. If you have a blog then place the blog/ in the URL. Think of an e-commerce website. You want to categorize items correctly. You don't want customers finding fridges in the microwaves category

This seems to be a tough one - similar in many ways to an e-commerce site. As far as Im aware the canonical link will only work on the same domain, I stand to be corrected. In terms of duplicating the content you will end up being penalized by Panda at some stage.

i want to say here that I have a competitor website who is ranking VERY well for spammy low ranking backlinks and he seems to continue to evade any penalties. Its very frustrating for those of us who try to adhere to preferred standards.

Automation is always risky as you never really have control over the results. As mentioned by Ryan and Dennis, you should put in the effort to create your links manually

Mindlink has it nailed. Concentrate on your on-site SEO firstly. An important foundation is critical. Once your foundation is solid you can then look at building inbound links. MOZ has some excellent articles on these topics.

Have you tried manually submitting a few of the links to see what their 'status' is in webmasters? I find this topic so vague as there is nowhere to actually get a solid answer from Google. It would be great if there was a facility to test these exact kind of issues.

How long ago did you create the page? I can see a Twitter feed on page 2 referring to you. Perhaps the actual page has not been indexed as yet? Have you checked in webmasters?

Im assuming your pages have been crawled? Obviously if Google has crawled them they will be flagged as having errors. Once they are repaired Google will crawl them again. You should be fine if it is only for a few days.

Dave, I had exactly the same issue a month ago with being indexed on subdomains but was able to modify robots.txt in root domain swiftly enough to avoid real damage. Your main root robots.txt can override the subdomains. Simply disallow the subdomain in your robots file disallow: /subdomain url/robots.txt OR, if im not mistaken simply remove it altogether from the subdomain
