Everything was fine for a while in Google and they were indexing us as www.example.com and we were in the top 2-4 listings as we had been for years. Suddenly we start dropping (only in Google) to 9th, then 12th. We immediately noticed that Google was now showing www.example.com/en-us, not simply example.com. (We have 80 plus backlinks and PR5 which has not changed)
MSN and Yahoo still show us as .com only and we have maintainedc our #1 position.
Here's the question. We are having the index page moved out from the en-us directory so all visitors will come to
example.com and not be redirected to the un-us page.
What do we do with the page that google appears to have listed as our home page (www.ourdirectory.com/en-us?
Do we do a 301 redirect to the .com?
Leave it there - It's identical which is a no -no.
Delete it totally.
Thanks for any help in this matter.

Redirect the /en-us back to www.domain.com/
It will take a few weeks to take effect in Google listings.
