      I'm not sure exactly what option i should take next. but i'll run you through a few points:

      • The page is optimized to a rank "A"
      • The page has 350 backlinks*
      • a strong social presence
      • Interlinking pages.
      • High domain authority
      • an OK page authority
      • The domain ranks highly
      • Every other sub domain rank highly.

      I make a search and the first page that ranks for this domain is a product page within the exact sub domain i'm trying to rank for, followed by some external blogs I've written and then the rest of the product pages.

      I've submitted the URL to web master tools twice and yet it still will not rank for that keyword.

      The  only time i see the page index is if i copy the exact URL into Google.

      Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks

        350 external links?

        It was read somewhere, that you should not have anymore than 100 external links on a page.

        Why on earth would you even need close to 100, let alone 350?

          I read that as 350 backlinks to the page... If it is 350 out-going links from that page, then completely agree! 350 is mental.
