Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Really my main concern is the duplicate content issue.  I think the 301 should solve it

Unfortunately we took the site live before we realized that Google had somehow indexed the pages.  So I think adding the 301 redirects should solve the problem.  In the future I will add the noindex, no follow tag to each dev page.  I will also password protect the dev. site.

While creating a site we forgot to password protect the staging site while it was being built.  Now that the site has been moved to the new domain, it has come to my attention that both the staging site (site.staging.com) and the "live" site (site.com) are both being indexed.  What is the best way to solve this problem?  I was thinking about adding a 301 redirect from the staging site to the live site via HTACCESS. Any recommendations?

When does it make sense to create one landing page for both seo and ppc?

If the image on the microsite points back to the original image would that take care of the duplicate content?

I have developed some micro-sites for a client.  The micro-sites are on their own root domain and are only associated, through links, with the client's main site.  The client just added an infographic to their site and I want to embed it on the micro-sites.  If I am going to embed the image on all the micro-sites that were developed do I need to use a rel canonical tag so it is not seen as duplicate content?

I understand that, but how can you verify a physical address if you get mail at a PO box?

What is the best way to do local SEO when the business has a physical address, but the mailing address is through a PO Box.  Can you still list your business on Google Maps, Google places, yahoo, bing etc... with the physical address?

Thanks for the quick response.

I recently hired a content writer to help me with my projects.  I want to give her access to my account.  How can I do this?
