Hi there,

Google's Guidelines for Webmasters says:

"Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with
substantially duplicate content."
://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html

Regardless of who creates the content, having two identical pages
appearing in the search results is of no benefit to the searcher or
Google - so Google tend to ignore duplicate content.

The content of your site is basically a duplicate of this page:
http://www.wizardacademypress.com/shopexd.asp?id=199

Your Options
------------

a) Get the other site to remove the page or block it from Google's
index by using a Meta Robot tag or robots.txt file

 -- or --

b) Change the content of your site so that it is no longer substantially similar

... and then resubmit both webpages:
://www.google.com/addurl.html


Best wishes,
robertskelton-ga
