Hello,
I have a problem and I do not know what to do. The deal is that I have one page on my site that is the most optimised and brings a lot of traffic, but recently I found that Google doesn't index it, all other pages are indexed but not this. What is the problem? Has it been banned? What can I do to improve the situation?
Thats almost impossible to answer without more information.

For example, it could be a robots.txt issue, or any of a number of other things too.

I 've got a shareware web site and this page is the product page, there are a lot of links to it from different software archives. The page has been in the first page of search results by definite keywords for more than 2 months. But now it's just disappeared. All other pages of the website are in Google but this one is not. It doesn't seem to be a ban, because the web site is in Google, but the most important page has been thrown away.
And also I found the spider haven't indexed the site for almost 2 weeks.
What can be the problem?

How old is the site, what have you changed recently? How do you know it is not indexed? Have you double-checked for duplicated content, is there any way that this might might resolve under a different url?

The site is almost 2 year old, but I started to optimize it 4 month ago,
I used Google AdWords before. When I started to optimize the site, there were no results at first, it seemed that Google didn't let the site to take part in sorting the results. When I searched for www.movietoolbox.com(that is my domain), there were only some pages from it.
I created a new domain, copied my site and redireted Google AdWords to it. Suddenly my source site appeared at the top of search results. And it has been there for more than 2 months. Now, it is in Google, but the most important page is not - http://movietoolbox.com/joiner.html.
When I search for this page, there are no results. It means that the page is not indexed, doesn't it?
When I search for other pages of my site, they appear in the search results.

I see that Google has indexed the page:
http://64.233.161.104/search?q=cache:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.movietoolbox.com%2 Fjoiner.html
You can see it here, as well:
http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:movietoolbox.com&num=100&hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&as_qdr=all&filter=0
So it's not a case that the page isn't indexed but rather than it is no longer ranking well.

Yeah, it's appeared. It has been indexed on May,15. I haven't searched it for 2 days. Then what is wrong with ranking? Will it get the same ranking positions?

I have also a related problem. My site's index page is not crawled by Google from last 4-5 months, though internal pages are crawling in 8-10 days.
What could be the problem??? Is my home page penalized by Google???
help!!

Try a search for the following, in quotes just like its written below. Do you recognize any of these pages?
"MovieToolBox | Movie Joiner - MPEG/AVI/WMV/RM Joiner - join mpeg, join avi, join wmv, join rm."
I suspect this is causing you a problem.
