    Hello I have three oscommerce shopping sites
    the sites are on different servers but they all share one database because it is too hard to change the stock on each site when i have more than one

    The sites are

    http://www.justbodyboarding.com
    http://www.thebodyboardshop.com
    http://www.662mob.com

    I just combined the databases about one month ago. Shortly after I did this my main site 662mob which ranked very very high for all my good keywords fell off the map
    Now even when i type in 662mob it does not show up
    I also had coop running on 662, but i took it off straight after I saw my site go away. please note justbodyboarding and teh bodyboardshop rank ok now but nothing like how 662 ranked before
    Do you think I am getting penalyzed for duplicate content or something because they all have the same products?

    Probably duplicate content. If they are all served from the same DB and have the same text; it seems like the logical reason why. If you did 3 sites, each serving different products from the same DB, you might be better off

    what about 3 different databases and 3 different servers/hosts

    the 662 site has about an extra thousand or so pages so it is pretty different
