> Re meta:  No meta has been added to the page, and no index-related meta
> shows up in the page source.
> Re robots.txt:  The server has no robots.txt.

>  In my case, it just isn't showing up at all, as if it was never seen.
> If I tell google to index that page specifically, it accepts it without
