Can someone explain this to me?! [SEO Frustrations]

    I am still struggling with this site!

    I am trying to work on my keyword for a product page of mine. The keyword is the name of the product "GuruWax" which is fairly unique (i.e. shouldn't be too much competition). For some reason though, I can't get the page to rank AT ALL for this keyword which is all over the title and content of this page! I got my Press Release as #1 for the launch of this product and even my blog post on it as #2 but the actual page is nowhere to be found in all 16 pages of google results for this keyword. My site is indexed and even has PR2 for several pages (main page and a couple others in it) and several PR1 sub pages.

    What's the deal?!

    Site - http://www.detailinggurus.com/

    Page that isn't getting in the SE results - http://www.detailinggurus.com/guruwax.html

    Keyword - GuruWax

    These two reports pretty much summarize my frustration!

    Sometimes you've got to do the search yourself instead of relying on 3rd party tools.

    Dan, when your site is #1 on Google, do you get traffic from users, who search for 'guruwax'?

    Very little at this point because this is such a new product name. I wanted to ensure that I control the top spot for this keyword before I started going after other more generic keywords like carnauba wax, car wax or auto wax.
