Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Its worth considering the organic CTR of your result, the title tag should eye catching. It is often worth looking at the format and style of your title tag in relation to the title tags of results above and below you in serps. If they are all the same and indeed even if  well optimised for SEO, it might be worth considering doing some testing ie can you change your title tag format to catch the browsers without affecting your position. If they are all 65 chars then you can win with shorter tag perhaps a tag with your freephone number etc...

This seems to be no problem for other directories. Take, just for example, dmoz.org. It is perfectly fine with all those links.

CopyScape will let you do it manually, but they also have a paid service called CopySentry (http://copyscape.com/copysentry.php) that will run automatically and notify you of new instances of duplicate content on a regular basis.

Thanks again, I guess I will have to look through keywords and see what traffic these news pages are still getting from google, then weigh up whether to tag them.

This issue needs to be cleaned up. It can definitely affect your rankings and search results. Steps to take: 1. Contact your web host and inform them you wish to redirect all "non-www" URLs to their "www" counterpart. This request is quite common and can be done easily by your host. 2. After your host makes the change, verify that it works. Visit a couple pages from your site and remove the "www" prefix. When you hit enter to visit the non-www version of the page, the "www" subdomain should automatically appear. 3. Since your site is only 12 pages, take a close look at your site. Check every page and examine the URL listed in every link. Be certain the URLs use the "www" prefix and you do not have any broken links. 4. When you are finished, try creating a sitemap. You can generate a free sitemap at http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/. If your site has 12 pages, your site map should show 12 pages. If it shows more, try to figure out why. 5. You can also use the SEOmoz crawler to get a detailed look of your site if there are further issues with your sitemap that you cannot figure out. Once this issue is cleaned up, it will probably take a month for Google to clean up your site in their index. You can log into Google Webmaster Tools to monitor the status. The "number of indexed pages" should decrease a bit each week.

Thanks for the replies, the site is PR5, Im going to try to reduce the links some

The crawling is only for PRO members (though that does include members on a free trial). If you want to crawl more than once a week, check out our crawl test tool at http://pro.seomoz.org/tools/crawl-test.
