The problem

Here is a simple description of the problem:
The home page of the site does not show up in serps.

Take any unique phrase from the home page, place double quotes around it, and google it. You will get no results when my home page should show up.

THIS PAGE IS INDEXED.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THAT I AM TRYING TO RANK FOR COMPETITIVE KEYWORDS. THE PAGE WILL NOT SHOW UP FOR ANY KEYWORD.

Here are some other facts:
No other page on the site has this problem. The deep pages on the site get a very generous amount of traffic from Google.

The page is a PR4.

There is no reason that I can think of to cause this problem. This has been like this since the creation of the site (about 1l.5 yrs ago). At first I thought I was sandboxed. After 1 year I realized sandbox was not the problem.

Part of me really wants to believe this is an error at Google!!!

  2. This problem of mine has been since the start of the site (almost 2 years ago). You can't get to my homepage via google thru any keywords, even worthless ones
