Interesting point of note is that all sites have lost home page PR and almost without fail, the archives have lost page rank as well. A good number of the previously ranked posts are still ranked. Site 2 continues to perform much better, as I mentioned last week - maybe proving my theory???

As for which of the sites with the duplicate article is listed - again, it's site 2, although on the January archive page, not a content page.
