Why won't google index this page ?

    I have been writing on hubpages for a number of months now and have always had google index and send traffic to my articles within 48hrs. HOwever I have this page: 5 light notebooks which I published 3 weeks ago and ist still not indexed: if I enter the url into google I get a not found message. I even used the google add url feature about 10 days ago - still no luck. The page is linked to by a number of different authorative sites, including digg, yahoo and msn have found it and send organic traffic. I have linked to it from other articles on hubpages which are in google
    I'm out of ideas - can anyone suggest anything. BTW the content is original - it passed HP duplicate content filters.

    Cheers
    Lis

    I just tried a little trick that I use with my sites. Keep checking it and see if it works.

    Submit that page to Digg or get a few backlinks pointing to it.

    Build some backlinks to that web page, that will effectively help the web page get added to the index.

    This is just speculation, but, if you look at the registration requirement for any domain company it always states that the domain "Cannot begin or end with a dash." Your link has one at the end (although not technically a root domain). Who knows...maybe Google has this in their equation somewhere.

    get it stumbled, and digg it and you will get cached. Also, make sure you submitted it in the webmasters section of google
