Hello juicy12743-ga,
Before I begin with my advices, please let me clarify, that Google
Answers Researchers are not Google Employees. Researchers have vast
knowledge on this and other issues (and have been carefully selected
by Google), but do not represent Google nor do they have any "inside
knowledge" about Google's policies.
According to Google's FAQ's on this subject, I have found this
information for you. Here are some of the possible reasons why a
particular webpage may not show up. These reasons are geared towards
Webmasters of the sites, but one of these may be why the page does not
show up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Taken from Google:
Google is a mechanized search engine, which employs robots known as
'spiders' to crawl the web on a monthly basis and find sites for
inclusion in the Google index.
Reasons your site may not be included.
* Your pages are dynamically generated. We are able to index
dynamically generated pages. However, because our web crawler can
easily overwhelm and crash sites serving dynamic content, we limit the
amount of dynamic pages we index.
* You employ doorway pages. Google does not encourage the use of
doorway pages. We want to point users to content pages, not to
doorways or splash screens.
* Your page uses frames. Google supports frames to the extent that
it can. Frames tend to cause problems with search engines, bookmarks,
emailing links and so on, because frames don't fit the conceptual
model of the web (every page corresponds to a single URL). If a user's
query matches the site as a whole, Google returns the frame set. If a
user's query matches an individual page on the site, Google returns
that page. That individual page is not displayed in a frame -- because
there may be no frame set corresponding to that page.
* If you are concerned with the description of your site as seen
by search engines, please read "Search Engines and Frames". It
describes the use of the 'NoFrames' tag, which is used to provide
alternative content. If, instead of providing alternative content, you
use wording such as "This site requires the use of frames" or "Upgrade
your browser", then you are excluding both search engines and people
who use browsers with frames turned off. (For example, audio web
browsers, such as those used in automobiles and by the visually
impaired, typically do not deal with frames, which are a visual
mechanism.) You can read about NoFrames in the HTML standard here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/present/frames.html#h-16.4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also taken directly from Google:
If your page does not appear at all, here are some other possible explanations.
* Your site may not have been reachable when we tried to crawl it
because of network or hosting problems. When this happens, we retry
multiple times, but if the site cannot be crawled, it will not be
listed in our current index. If it was a transient problem, your site
will likely show up in the next index, which will be completed in a
few weeks.
* A technical glitch on our side may have caused us to 'miss' your
site. In crawling more than 4 billion pages, our system experiences
hiccups from time to time. Again, this is a transient problem, and
your site will likely show up in the next index. Please be patient
with us during this period, as we are not able to modify our index by
hand to add sites missed in this way.
* The contents of your page or the links pointing to your page
changed significantly and you no longer have a sufficiently high
PageRank, or your page had low PageRank to begin with and a small
change caused you to be dropped from the Google index.
* Your page was manually removed from our index, because it did
not conform with the quality standards necessary to assign accurate
PageRank. We will not comment on the individual reasons a page was
removed and we do not offer an exhaustive list of practices that can
cause removal. However, certain actions such as cloaking, writing text
that can be seen by search engines but not by users, or setting up
pages/links with the sole purpose of fooling search engines may result
in permanent removal from our index. If you think your site may fall
into this category, you might try 'cleaning up' the page and sending a
re-inclusion request to help@google.com. We do not make any guarantees
about if or when we will re-include your site.

You can submit the site here to try and get it listed:
://www.google.com/addurl.html
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Google also uses a system called PageRank to determine how results are
listed, you can read more about it here.

If this answer requires further explanation, please request
clarification before rating it, and I'll be happy to look into this
further.
