Google Search Results Going Down- Duplicate URL’s Going Up

    Recently (2 weeks) my good Google Search Engine Results have been dropping way off, at the same time, Webmaster Tools is showing increasing numbers (up to 323 now) of near duplicate URL’s.

    This is an important time for the site
    http://www.PhotographyUncapped.com
    and I’m missing lots of traffic.

    The URL’s only appear in Webmaster Tools Crawl Errors, not on the site itself, or anywhere else as far as I can see. It’s as if a copy or two of post URL’s have appeared to Google with slightly different categories.

    I have added redirections to each of them, but Crawl Errors keeps showing them, even the ones redirected 2 weeks ago. Google downloads my sitemap at least once a day.

    I really need my Google results back to where they were.

    I’ve searched these forums, but couldn’t find anything quite like this.

    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Please note, that WP is producing duplicate URL’s, not duplicate posts.

    I’m also getting a “Network unreachable” where Google is trying to access a draft preview. The URL Google is trying to access is similar to one when clicking View Preview from a New Post Admin page.

    WP returns “You do not have permission to preview drafts.”
