Pages ending in .ad extension?
Hi, my guess is that it is a page extension that is unique to the Content Management System (CMS) you are using but it nothing more significant than that. Certainly it isn't helpful to anyone, human or search. I hope that helps, Peter

Using a query string for linked, static landing pages - is this good practice?
Hey! What's happening here is your website is loading a single offices.htm page and showing different data within that page depending upon the ID of the office selected. It's basically using the page as a template and filling in the blanks dependant upon the query. The reason for it being there is simply because that is how your developer/agency has built your website. I would not recommend using this method in this instance as each office would be best suited to a unique page of their own as you've already mentioned. For a better understanding of why it has been built in this manner I'd recommend talking to your developer. Hope you found this useful.

Massive site-wide internal footer links to doorway pages: how bad is this?
So every page has several hundred links to spammy duplicate pages? This is a bad thing. First off, link equity leaving every page on your site would be split between all these several hundred links whether your NoFollow them or not. Second, the fact that they are essentially duplicate of each other and there are potentially hundreds of these pages means that your site is likely hurting from thin content penalties. Third, that image makes it look like old school 90s keyword stuffing. Which is just all sorts of wrong. My assessment is that Yes... this is hurting your site.
