Hi, you have This in your header:

<meta content="noindex,nofollow" name="robots">


Noindex will prevent that page from being indexed, and Nofollow will stop search engine spiders crawling your site and following links.

Try removing that and then re-submit.

To add to that you seem to have a lot of rouge Markup, your site has 2 heads for some reason.

heres a link to your validation results:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.methylatedspirit...

They outline some of the errors, if you sytematically work through and resolve them, I would expect your search standings to improve.

I don't know if this would cause an issue but I am noticing some errors within your code you have a <head> tag within your opening body tag and then two opening <body> tags

My guess is that you are adding this into your template files? and then they are being added via the header element again.

Other then that I assume you have added it to google webmaster?

</head><!-- Remove This Line -->
<body><head> <!-- HEAD START --><!-- Remove This Line -->
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name='robots' content='noindex,nofollow' />
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="http://html5shiv.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/html5.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

</head> <!-- HEAD END -->

<body> <!-- BODY START -->

You have a page within a page?

Take out the extra top and bottom (header and footer)

Plus as Vidall say's 'noindex' is wrong.
