A single page,a landing page is not getting indexed by Google. All my other pages show but if I input the url for this particular page google does not recognise it, its as if its not there. I've built links to this page and pinged it but nothing?
Can anyone help please?

How long has the page been uploaded?
I don't see a sitemap link on your pages - do you maintain an xml sitemap?
Also why don't you want to post the link here, I thought you wanted G to index it :) ?

From where are you linking to this page?

If it is a single page site what is the incentive for google to add it to the index?

If a page isn't linked to, in some shape or form (internal links, external links, sitemap, submission), then in Google's eyes it doesn't exist (at least not for the purpose of search/indexing).

What is the landing page for? Is it for a google adword or is it for some other print or email marketing campaign?

I'm not sure what happens with landing pages assigned in adwords, whether google automatically indexes them and puts them in the public search index, or whether google just visits them for adwords quality purposes. Perhaps an adwords expert here could clarify this particular situation?

If you have built links for this page, then are those links from pages indexed by google, is the page excluded by robots.txt, or perhaps simply it is a matter of waiting for google to get round to seeing the new links then indexing your page.

The page is a landing page for Christmas gifts there are approximately 130 pages on site and all others are indexed. Many of the other landing pages have PR2 and are all indexed except this page?

So is there an inbound link from the homepage or maybe the special offers page or something?

Give G something to work with and the page will get indexed. If the inbound is from the homepage then it will get followed on the next pass.

The page has been there over 6 months with links to it from front page and blogs and outside links. I've pinged it still nothing

I can't find a link to the christmas page from the homepage nor can I find a link to the http://www.funkybears.com/personalised-teddybear-gifts category.

You do have a great chunk of christmassy text in the homepage footer but no links.

If you search google with the exact URL it doesn't show, SEO quake shows no links to it but there are 110, most of the other landing Pages are PR2 and in other piece of software it comes up as GRAY PAGE for Page rank

Does this matter? If you are ranking for your keyphrases who cares if the URL isn't appearing in a search for the same

Where are these links? I can't find any on the site.

Your URLs are really weird, are you rewriting?
