I am experiencing problems with PFI. I submitted a couple of home pages from different sites three months ago.

Until signing up for PFI the pages ranked quite well. The reason for PFI was the fact the content changes on these sites on a daily basis and thought it would be a good idea to get the pages refreshed in the index more frequently.

The pages are clean and I do not employ any SEO methods, just content and good page titles.

For a while the pages seemed ok but recently both have disappeared and even when you search on company name within quotes the sites are listed in last position out of 300 or so results. When you search for any terms relevant to the sites they are either not listed or display bottom of the pile.

What I have noticed is that some of the sites are appearing higher when I search on company name appear to have exact duplicate titles, although the URLs take the form of www.domain.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?id=123, when you click on the link it takes you to my sites. Are these sites somehow hijacking my content and causing my sites to be penalised due to a duplicate content filter?
