Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you Ryan and Ogy. Those answers are much appreciated.

It appears that every page on our site (www.bridgewinners.com) also creates a version of itself with a suffix.

This results in Seomoz indicating that there are thousands of duplicate titles and content.

1. Does this matter? If so, how much?

2. How do I eliminate this (we are using joomla)?

Thanks.

About 3 weeks ago google created a duplicate listing for our law firm on google maps.

In building links I have tried very hard to ensure that our address and company name was always listed identically.

Our correct firm name and address is

Feldman Feldman & Associates, PC 2221 Camino Del Rio South, Suite 201

inevitably somehow the new listing stated Camino Del Rio S, Ste 201

All of our reviews moved over to this new profile, I claimed it, changed it to make it the same reported it to Google. Google merged them.

Now Google has created another profile this time the firm name and address matches ours exactly (South and Suite both spelled out), but all of the reviews have moved over except for the most recent one(s).

I have claimed it again and reported it to google, changed the address. Google then created another listing.

Our page rank for keywords has been hurt by this. any idea why this keeps happening suggestions?

Here are the two pages. This is our original listing

http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&cid=468564492130231259

This is the new one google self created that stole all our reviews, but is ranked very poorly for the keyword searches.

http://maps.google.com/maps/place?&cid=468564492130231259

I am considering paying for a listing on the legal directory on FindLaw.com, at a cost of $300 per month.

This includes 5 deep links back to our site.

I think the value of the listing and profile is next to 0 other than the SEO benefit to obtain a competitive position on the first page of the google map. But I am having a hard time ascertaining the SEO value.  They have a page rank of 7 (at times 8 in the past).

I have already done many of the other directories, dmoz, BOTW, yahoo! and have a regular blog on my site and lots of content.

Will this contribute any noticeable SEO difference?

Any thoughts? recommendations?  If this will contribute a noticeable SEO difference, then imo it is definitely worth it.
