I have a problem indexing some pages from my site. They used to be indexed for more than a year and they were also appearing on the search results if I typed a keyword or a string of the text from those pages. But suddenly in early November half of the pages were dropped and the other half are still indexed but aren't showing up on the search results anymore.
All these pages have links to them (1 or two clicks from the homepage and other pages on the site). So I don't think it's because google can't find them. The "homepage" has links from DMOZ, Yahoo and many other sites. The exact URL's for the pages I'm talking about might not have many links from other sites.
The pages have our navbar and toolbar like every other page on our site and they have educational articles so they have text to crawl and everything they aren't just links and the text in all pages is different.
I think we are not doing anything out of google's rules but haven't been able to get them fully re-indexed.
If someone knows what's happening I'd appreciate it..

And only because Freshbot spiders your page doesn't mean that it will store it, if they don't find new content or anything different from the last cache i don't see any reason why they should store it, for them it will only take up more space.
And yes it's quite common that this happens, more often with pages that has less PageRank.
