I'm pretty concerned about dupe stuff.

Sounds like that could be the problem if you have all parts on all 3 sites with same description. Check the site command in Google look for Supplemental Results. I have noticed when a site has too many SR then rank starts dropping--regardless of the fact that Matt Cutts claims that SR is not a penalty.

I woudn't wait for BD to settle down but change the descriptions on the 2 newer sites. Leave the first site that went online alone--hopefully it will not have SR penalities.

If all three have a lot of SR then also look for someone copying your data and mostly text from the home page. I had this happen to a client last summer--someone had copied the text on their home page and put it on 13 of their own pages and my client's site dropped out of site, PR went to 0, and almost out of the index. We had to send in DMCA reports to the host and Google and the renegade site disappeared and PR came back quickly to client's site--keyword rank was slower to recuperate. If this is your problem maybe you can catch it before too much time elapses.

Also make sure there are no session IDs if you are using .asp script as Google gets lost in them.
