I am perplexed. There's a given page that gives way to 5 subpages on a subject. No one of them appears in Google even if I search them with an 'special' term that I have included in the keywords so as to locate them (it's just my own name).
The starting code is:

All the pages validate all right as xhtml 1.1 and I'm not trying to reach a relevant position in Google or any commercial stuff. It's simply that it seems that I have broken a rule without knowing it?
Thanks in advance :)
PS. The carriage returns have been included in the keywords here so as not to break the browser window. The original does not have them.
How long have the pages been online? Are the pages linked to from other pages that are spidered ok?

That way you can just use the actual characters instead of their codes. The resulting page will be smaller and much easier for you to maintain.
This may be relevant because I'm not sure how Google will respond to a keyword that contains an html entity, but it should respond correctly to normal UTF-8 characters.
Is the page taken from a database? No.
How long have the pages been online? Let's say two months and a half roughly.
Are the pages linked to from other pages that are spidered ok? Yes, that's the odd thing. The other pages are indeked all right. Not that they are popular or anything like that. It's simple that this particular page is nada - nihil - zero for Google.
I remember know that there was a system (an url or something like that) to know if Google bot has passed trough a given page. Would you like to brush up my memory, please? I am a bit Alzheimered today.
ta :)
As a matter of fact, I changed the encoding from UTF8 to ISO-8859-1 because I saw that my browser (IE 6 in W2K) was sometimes showing them in a wrong way (Chinese characters mixed with Latin ones) and with the ISO enconding that stopped altogether.
