Is google broken? I have a page, that I should prob have high ranking in, that is not showing in the serps at all. It was created on March 25th. Within the first day there was approximately 120 unique inbound links. Yesterday when i checked there were about 350 inbound links.

It was indexed three times:

66.249.66.83 - - [26/Mar/2006:06:02:33 -0500] "GET /topic47826.html HTTP/1.1" 200 11670 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

66.249.64.27 - - [26/Mar/2006:10:58:56 -0500] "GET /topic47826.html HTTP/1.0" 200 48908 "-" "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

66.249.66.83 - - [28/Mar/2006:00:36:35 -0500] "GET /topic47826.html HTTP/1.1" 200 13170 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)"

When I look at the serps for the keyword associated with this link, my page does not show, but a slew of pages that were created after my page was first indexed are showing.

As you can imagine I am baffled. Good inbound links, highly targetted article for this keyword, indexed 3 times, yet still not showing in the pages at all.

Even more frustrating 4 out of the 10 top serps for this keyword link back to my guide.

This concerns me as I was in supp help until about 2 weeks ago and this type of behaviour is the same thing that i was experiencing before that happened. Pages get indexed..never show in serps.

Anyone have any clues?
