    I've been trying to clean up my apparently really screwed up site and in my journeys through trying to create a sitemap.xml and other things...I did a search on my old site by doing site:squarefootstaffing.net and the second result was http://sqrft.net/childwp/ This link goes nowhere and I'm quite certain is not appreciated by the search engine crawlers.

    Where does it originate and how to I purge the internet of it (and others like it)?

    http://www.sqrft.net

    That link you are talking about leads to a website that almost mirrors your real website. It was probably used for development purposes for your site and was never removed. Log in to your hosting account, go to your WordPress installations and look for another installation of WP. You can uninstall it. Afterwards, you will need to remove the subdirectory from your file manager.

    P.S. Be careful... make sure you are unstalling the correct one!!
