Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Hello All.
Hope some of you will be able to give me some straight answers for these questions. I’ve done my own little ‘crash course’ into SEO and Internet Marketing this week. I’m confident (ish) on most areas, but have stumbled on some questions which I need to clarify. (Sorry if some of these sound stupid) but here goes :
1.) Do Follow and No Follow Links. I know how to see if a website is ‘Do follow’ or ‘No follow’ but when gaining backlinks, do I always have to type in either the ‘do follow’ or ‘no follow’ code? I know I should do this for commenting and my own blog, and for other blog comments, but what about article directories, guest blogging, directories etc?
2.) I understand that in theory, posting on ‘do follow’ Auto approved blogs isn’t good because it will probably be hit by scam. However, it I wrote some quality comments related to the niche and added a backlink to my own blog instead of my main page, would this be ok?
3.) How do I make my own personal blog, non- auto approved and no follow? Is it by installing the plugin Akismet?
4.) I’m currently having a website built, and I’m currently looking at Plugin’s for my WordPress blog. . My web designer hasn’t mentioned if he is going to install any Social Media plugin’s.for my blog. However on the blog page, he has included most of the social media links at the top. Do I still need to install a social media plugin, or can it be done manually without a special plugin(I’m abit worried as my designer doesn’t seem to know much about these plugin’s but has added these links for me anyway??
I appreciate your thoughts and comments.

Hi guys, i really need your a good and effectivr advice about this, please if you know something that would help post it here!
Im 20 year old, have a car Peugeot 206 1.1 litre – cheap market value (£1000ish). I live in London. Since 17 years old im looking for insurance – unsuccessfully. The best quote i get is 4000ish. I have no criminal record, no accidents no claims – nothing! And im fed up with so many people driving at my age and I cant- i just dont understand why exactly mine is so bloody expensive! Ive tried every variation just to see what im missing – pass plus for example only helps to the extent of £100. Its just crazy – 3 years and i still cant drive – what the hell is wrong with this – home come everyone is showing off by how cheap insurance they have and i cant get anything? Whats the secret?
Ive tried every combination – me as the main driver/named driver/owner/just user etc. cheapest is £4,000!! Whats wrong with me? Anybody knows whats the trick, how to solve this issue?
Thanks!

Also please, can i find nice clothes at a thrift store? I will probably have to spend LESS than $70 this year for school clothes.
My style is nothing really, just plain ol’ shirt, jeans, and sneakers or boots but how can i grunge-ify my look a bit???
I’m going into my senior year if that somehow helps
Thank You for answering my question!!!
