Guns of El Chupacabra. Google. And, You Never Have True Power Over Yourself

A few days back, someone hit me up and said that the main page for the Zen Film, Guns of El Chupacabra, on my website, was not coming up in the main search at Goggle. Okay… It has been coming up for like two decades, (or more), but… So me, I popped the search, just to check it out. And yes, the guy was right. The main page—the, “Official Webpage,” for Guns of El Chupacabra was no longer coming up in the Google search. This, though other pages on my website, regarding the Zen Film were listed???
 
Why this??? How did this happen? I have no idea. Maybe you do??? I hope that you do. Tell me. Fix it!
 
I did all that I can do in the Google Search Console, as the proprietor of the website, scottshaw.com. In addition, I checked the host, the server, the SEO and all that good stuff. They’re all good. Plus, the page is listed and fed from a lot of outside sources. But, it is still not coming up in the Google search.
 
Many/most of the webpages devoted to my other Zen Films on the site come up. So, what happened? I do not know what or why?
 
I know there is this guy in my feed on the socials who gives all kind of tips on how to make your site or your page move up in the Google search. I have listened and learn a lot. But, as I am not trying to sell anything—I do not run a on-line business, or anything like that. And, as the search for my films are so specific, I don’t have a lot of search competition. Thus, his information is interesting but not all that useful, at least not for me. And, if the main page devoted to a film is not in play, what’s up?
 
I guess this all goes to the reality of life… How much control do you actually have over your life. I mean, there are all these/those external influences in play that you have no control over. You live your life as best as you can, but then something unexpected hits. Then what? What can you do? I do not know???
 
So, if any of you people out there who are web wizards, and you can help me, go for it. Thanks in advance! If not, just understand that Google is not the ultimate truth of the ultimate truth. Sometimes, it gets it wrong. And then, (when it does)… …Really… Then, what???
 
Just know that the truth of the truth is hiding there within the individual. And, if someone else hides it from you, that does not mean that it does not exist. You may just have to search a little bit harder to find it.
