The best thing you can do right now is nothing. Sit tight for about a week orso, keep an eye on your traffic and serps.Give Google some time to sort itself out and have a look when the dust settles. Don't go into panic mode and start changing all sorts of things - worst thing you can do right now.

RE: How to prevent duplicate content in archives?
Install Yoast's Wordpress SEO plugin. Has all the options you're looking for in one easy tab
I'd leave the archive crawlable since you use them in your nav bar. Just make sure to have canonical attributes on my posts. Also, use the "strip catagory base from URL" option - makes it all look a bit cleaner and shortens your URLs

RE: I Bought AD on a site, am i being penalized for it
Looking at your entire backlink profile, I think you've got more to worry about than just paid ads. This for example would be a big no-no
Also, there's heaps of non-relevant footer links floating around on decent pagerank pages. A clear sign of link buying.
*update - I thought you said the top two images were yours, but your
site is the plastic one. Anyway, seems you're still buying other links
such as on here: http://www.knight-kit.com/kitchen-remodeling
/a-handy-instruction-concerning-storage-systems-for-the-residence-storage-area-officeThat looks like a spammy link page, and it's not indexed in Google. Perhaps part of one of the linkfarms they're taking down at the moment?

RE: My website ranking recently dropping - why?
On first sight, this might have something to do with it.

RE: Duplicate Page Issue
Depending on how many pages your site has, I'd either just add canonicals to the pages, or check if your programmer did indeed not use the htaccess - which you can then always mend.
Also have a read through Dr Pete's post here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world which is probably the only duplicate content post you will ever need to read to fix any problems.

RE: We have been keeping other sites on our domain while we build them for clients and not taking them off afterwards
Creating a new sitemap and submitting it should get rid of those errors. And might I suggest you setup a development domain so you won't have these problems again in future?
-
RE: Domain advice needed, please
Going by the limited information, I'd probably opt for the co.uk site since you're deploying in the UK. You could transfer the juice from the .com to the co.uk with a 301
Are the links to the .com relevant to the new site content/market?

RE: Finding Writers for Guest Posting?
The perfect place to find writers is the Problogger Jobs board. I've had several great writers come from there. Another place to look is textbroker.com - you'll be paying for quality though, if that's not an issue.

RE: Google previews meanings
As far as I know, the red rectangles highlight all sections of a page that have the keyword or phrase which you used in your search query.
-
RE: Folder or subdomain ?
Folder will get juice passed from your main domain. Subdomains are essentially treated as domains on their own.
It all depends what you want to achieve with your seo campaign.

RE: Robots.txt Showing in SERP Results
nonsense. Search for https://www.google.com.au/search?q=inurl%3Arobots.txt&pws=0
Some of the first results with visible robots.txt I see are:
I refuse to believe that "something is seriously wrong" with any of these sites.

RE: How to prevent duplicate content in archives?
Yeah, the Yoast plugin has more advanced options. It also has a lot less annoying ads in the admin panel
