I have a product page (product.php?id=****) that is not
indexed by google (nor crawled at least at the last
dance). how can this happen since I have links to lots
of products in all other over 100 pages that are
indexed? same thing happends to my product search
page: search.php?a=...&b=...

is this possible that google penalize only one page?

is it ok if I rename it?

please not I have 4 domains pointing to the same
site. I also do not use sessions for google bot.

That doesn't look search engine friendly. As soon as I did mod_rewrite to change my script URL, I got Googlebombed. So right now you have the Google Death penalty until the URL is Search engine friendly.

In another thread, someone explained how they changed their urls from script.php?params to script.php/params.

Consequently, Googlebot liked them.

Since I don't use php, I did not bookmark the thread, however, I believe he said that no server configuration changes were needed (amazingly) and only one or two lines of php code were required to translate the new style url data into a form that will be recognised by the remaining script.
