Do your sites link to each other? Are they on the same IP address, or in the same C class (IP addresses are identical for the first three octets AAA.BBB.CCC.****)? Chances are, you've been caught by the new "network of sites" filter.

DVD is right, you're penalised. Solutions:

1)Chage I.P's(dissimmilare first 3 octets')
2)Remove interlinking from the sites.
3)If the content duplication is there remove it.
4)Remove all the link that you think could be considered as bad neighbourhood.

Your sites might come back in 3-4 months.
