Its http://www.cjlocksmiths.net i have looked it up in the domain register whois but it has privacy enabled so i cannot contact them directly. As far as i can see its not being used as a domain name other than its appearing in google search under locksmiths then links to word press blog, i can’t contact word press blog or get it removed is their anyway to do this ? Its a domain we used to own and its costing us a lot of business as people are clicking on it on google it goes to the word press blog and shows adverts their then assuming we have gone out of business
Regards

Hi there,
It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include/remove this page from search results.
You can try requesting removal from Google by following the instructions here:
