RE: Clients domain expired - rankings lost - repurchased domain - what next?
I would wait and see if the rankings improve. I'm very sure that Google, Bing, etc. would not penalize significantly for a slight slip up because of someone forgetting to re-up their domain name. We are all human and I'm fairly certain that the ranking algorithms take that in to account to some degree. If a site was off for say a month or two, then I could see the site being completely dropped from the rankings in order to keep things fresh for the search results. However a site being offline for a week or two, probably not that significant of a hit. Give it a few weeks and I'm sure it'll start to recover as the bots see that the site is back up. These things take a little time to get going again.

Multiple listing directory pages pointing back to the same local business profile
I've been tuning my SEO pages to cover cities, states, and metro areas for local businesses we have. I'm wondering if the same business showing up on multiple pages, because they can actually go out and service that area, has a negative impact on rankings. Does multiple pages on your site, pointing to the same content, hurt or help the ranking of either page?

Looks like your connection to Moz was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
