Google doesn't index my article! Really confusing!

    Hi,

    I have a problem and I have no idea what caused it and I have no idea how to fix it!
    I have 2 similar websites.
    http://www.leeshetnu.nl
    http://www.tvrubriek.nl

    Whenever I post an article on leeshetnu.nl I immediately share it on 2 social bookmarking sites (nujij.nl and ekudos.nl) and after that my article is picked up by google within 10 minutes. This makes sense as both nujij.nl and ekudos.nl are high traffic sites in the Netherlands and my update services list on wordpress is quite extensive.
    However, for my main site tvrubriek.nl this has changed in the last few days. My articles do not get picked up by google anymore! As a high amount of traffic is generated through organic search this is quite a problem for me! I use nujij and ekudos as well for this site and this site also gets picked up by a couple of news aggregators.

    Example of my problem:
    Recent article from leeshetnu.nl. It is called "Eigen satelliet voor Tijmen (11)" (About a child that gets a satellite named after which) (link: http://www.leeshetnu.nl/eigen-satelliet-voor-tijmen-11)
    When checking on google..you can clearly see that when googling that exact phrase the article shows up on my site.
    http://www.google.nl/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q="Eigen+satelliet+voor+Tijmen+(11)"
    However I have a different article on tvrubriek.nl called: “Kandidaten The Voice of Holland scoren goed in single top 100” (link: http://www.tvrubriek.nl/kandidaten-the-voice-of-holland-scoren-goed-in-single-top-100)
    However, when you check that google result:
    http://www.google.nl/search?sourcei...ice+of+Holland+scoren+goed+in+single+top+100"
    The article isnt linked! Only the main site is!
    What can cause this! The problem wasn’t there before, but I saw a decline in traffic so I investigated. Both sites use similar methods on spreading articles..but still only one gets picked up by google

    I’m at my wits end so I really hope anyone can help me!

    Ever Try to ping your article?
    It might work, no harm trying.

    Quick update! The articles I posted yesterday, including the one from the main post, still are not seen/cahced or ranked by google. But I just recently posted a new article, and it got cached by google withing 2 minutes. Maybe it was just yesterday!? I hope it's problem solved..whatever the problem was..still doesnt explain why earlier articles from yesterday arent caching.

    *update: Spoke to soon. Article is now gone again from google results..

    I ping the articles automatically by the huge list of "Update Services" I have in my wordpress, and they're linked on high traffic sites immediately as well so its not that google cannot find them.

    *edit 2 When it did see the article earlier...it was ok..but now its replaced by a link to my main site and not the article (as my main site has the article name in its latest news section

    Ok, I looked into it further..google goes index my article..but not correctly..

    When searching for exact phrase..this returns:
    http://www.google.nl/search?sourcei...ice+of+Holland+scoren+goed+in+single+top+100"
    No link to my article, only my main page
    However, when I search for the same exact phrase on my website (site:www.tvrubriek.nl "Kandidaten The Voice of Holland scoren goed in single top 100")
    http://www.google.nl/search?sourcei....,cf.osb&fp=671187f3343753e3&biw=1111&bih=618
    Here you can see that it IS indexed..but why does it not show in the rankings when I google that exact phrase!?!
