Site down for more than a month - lost rankings
Hello, We have run into a situtation where we had multiple pages setup for different keywords but didn't realize that we had a name server issue that has caused the pages to be down for the last month or so (2-3 weeks on the low side.) The rank finder was still working fine, but the offline page was never reported. We realized the situation recently and have since gotten the sites back online under the new nameservers. Most of these sites were ranking 1 and 2 spots in their keywords, and now are no where to be found in the Google Index. Should I do anything differently, or just put the sites back online and wait it out? I have seen in different places that it may only take 2 weeks to come back, but it's possible that Google has marked the sites as 'not quality' because of their downtime and it will be even harder to get them to rank again. Can anyone shed any light on this situation? Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Crawler Stats
Hello, On all of my crawler stats, it is showing both http://domainhere.com and http://www.domainhere.com Is it bad to have both types of URLS (one with www and one without www) or should we be only using links with www? This question may not make any sense, but pretty much should it matter that both versions are showing up in my crawler results or not? Thanks for any help in advance.

Duplicate Content
I have tried searching for an exact example of the issues I am seeing, but didn't come up with anything. I decided to post my own question so I can get a direct answer on what I am experiencing. I recently took over a website and its' existing SEO practices with it. Upon placing the site on SEOmoz, I received many (LOTS) of duplicate content warnings. Pretty much, this is how the website is setup: domain.com/keyword-is-here/ but it is also coming up as domain.com/keyword-is-here/index.htm - Should I setup a redirect so domain.com/keyword-is-here/index.htm points to domain.com/keyword-is-here.htm or should I just leave it alone since it's pointing to the same exact? Any information on this questions is greatly appreciated in advance.
