    Maybe you should check your Robots.txt if you have instructed it "nofollow". Also, if you are using CMS maybe you should check the software you used for certain specs that are stopping Google indexing the page.

      When you say Robots.txt do you just mean the privacy settings and check that i am allowing the search engines to visit which i have set to, also why has the search engine found the other pages ??

    How old is your website? I have had that happen when I've had other pages indexed but not the home page, then a few days later the home page has gotten indexed. It shouldn't take too long. Have you submitted the url to Google, Bing and Yahoo?

    So when you go into 'pages' in your Wordpress dashboard that page isn't in there? That is very strange if it is a page that doesn't exist. I've never seen that happen before.
