      Can you please tell me why this page is not ranking.

      http://goo.gl/BqoRT

      The page doesn't rank at all for keywords but even if I copy a line or 2 of text it still doesn't rank for that text.

      Any help will be much appreciated.

        It's definitely in the Google index and has been cached.  Is this a new page?

          No. It isn't new. It is indexed but just doesn't rank at all although it used to. I don't know when it stopped ranking so its difficult to know which algo caused it to stop ranking.

            I just looked for "needs to earn should be determined by the age of the child." in both Google and Bing, and that phrase shows up in both engines, so your site is indexed. Have you gone into Google Webmaster Tools and looked for any notices?

              I checked and I don't have any notices. I think it is related to an algo and not to a penalty as I haven't done anything that I could be penalized for.

              It used to rank for behavior  charts but it doesn't anymore.

                It's because you're gettin' beat. You need to build some links!

                You only have 32 linking root domains (according to OSE) and a DA of 26. That's why you're gettin beat, I'd venture to guess.

                Time to SEO it up!

                  I checked and saw that other pages from your site do rank. For example, reward charts, reward charts for kids, chore chart template at #5, #8 and #15 respectively. Looks like Behavior Charts is relatively a higher volume keyword and to me it's a page authority issue. You probably need to build some internal and external links to improve your PA and DA to better rank for this and other keywords as others have also recommended.

                  I hope this helps.

                    The keywords you are trying to target are a bit competitive and you don’t have enough authority to get this page ranked in search engines. The idea is to get some high quality domains inlinking to this so that this page can rank for the desired keywords!
