Yep, it looks like they are.

You can check by doing a site:syncomation.com search in Google and clicking on the pages you removed.

A couple of things to consider:

1. It looks like a lot of your pages have the same meta title - which is not good for SEO. Every one should be unique and have keywords that best describe the content on the page. I would limit the title to 65-69 characters.

2. You actually have two homepages:

http://www.syncomation.com/
http://www.syncomation.com/index.html

This is not ideal as it is duplicate content.

3. You really do not need to end every url with index.html - that seems a little old school.

4. In terms of your title tags, I would make sure they are as targeted as possible and try to go after things that people are searching for. From the looks of your site, it looks like your target audience is commercial over residential or am I wrong?

<title>Syncomation - Atlanta's best choice for easy to use audio visual automation and installation! </title>

If your main audience is indeed commercial, I would probably try to make that more clear, otherwise you are going to be competing with all of the home residential installers.

5. If you recently created the pages, I might go back and make all of the characters in the urls lowercase. It is more standard that way. Plus, stuff like this won't render if people put in the url wrong: http://www.syncomation.com/tech/display/index.html

It is also not standardized across the site, which is less than ideal. Some use capitals, others do not.

6. I would set up a Google places page if you have not already. That way if they have local search in the results, you might be able to rank there as well.

7. I would set up a custom 404, so you do not have that hostgator page.

8. I would have real H1s on each page. Right now, it looks like an image is an H1, which is not ideal.

Just some friendly suggestions.
