About to punch myself in the face......

Ok, so before I resort to something drastic as punching myself in the kisser, I guess I will see if you good ladies and gentlemen of the Warrior Forum can help me out.

A couple months back I decided to split my business into two sections. I broke my web design stuff off all on it's own so it would be more clear. I made a website www.(state)webdesignco.com to compete in Google.

Here is my problem.....the website isn't coming up in Google....most of the time. Let me explain, if I do a search for the website URL, it doesn't come up. It suggests another website. I did some checking and my website doesn't seem indexed or shows up for the three keywords I am trying to get it to rank for.

Oddly enough, it comes up for keywords I have not worked on (position 26). So it seems I am deindexed but for only certain keywords and for my main URL.

Quick details on the site:
Wordpress- Gritoo theme
Some backlinking done as well as social book marks, however nothing extensive.
showing up in Bing (2nd overall)
All in 1 SEO plug in installed
Site map plug in installed

I did have an article on the website that was a duplicate content piece, from when I split from the main website, but once I figured out that the BIG G hates that I took it down.

I have the site set up on web master tools but I only did this once I figured out my site wasn't showing up. Should I try to see if Google will reindex the site, or am I missing something. Could it be the theme? Has someone else used this theme and had no problems?

Any and all help (and baked potato recipes) is wanted and appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Hmmm...If it gets to that point I will be glad to put it up for the whole world to see, all rights reserved though.

    Ya if you want to talk about SEO there's a forum for that, as Chase showed you. Ask the help desk to move the thread or if they just close this one start a new thread there.

    I personally feel that it is risky that you are going to base your whole marketing campaign base on SEO only. You might want to have a few different traffic generation methods in your marketing campaign so that your business still can continue when one of the traffic sources dies off.

      Thanks for the reply Jason. It is not my only source, I am just now worrying about it a couple months later because I have been dealing with other ways to get traffic. I figured that with all the changes with google that I should wait until last to do SEO.
