Is a particular page not ranking for any reason?

I posted about the Google WEbmaster tools Structured Data set up in this thread here: http://moz.com/community/q/using-google-structured-data-for-seo-benefit
Just a follow up question (or separate)... would having a lot of products with marked up data (via webmaster tools and not on page) hurt SEO rankings? I have not got any warning/notice etc in Google Webmaster tools about it.

Hi there
I would suggest marking up every product you have. I would focus efforts onsite via Schema - I would imagine your product pages are set up on a template, so if you add the code into the template, it should automatically add markup to all of the products. I would take to your web dev team about that though.
The reason I would focus on Schema - having Schema markup can potentially increase your rankings and improve your click through rates via enhanced snippets; not to mention, this markup is recognized by more than just Google, so you are marking up for multiple search engines, not just Google like you would be if you do it through just WMT.
I would also suggest looking into a secure protocol for your site (https) as that is a ranking factor and you are an ecommerce website. It's important to let search engines know that you are protecting information from customers and value their privacy. It's thought by some that having a privacy policy page (among others) is considered a good trust signal to search engines - but either way, it's comforting for a user looking to make a purchase.
Don't forget to do some competitor research to get an idea of opportunities others are taking advantage of.
Lastly, be sure to avoid common ecommerce SEO mistakes - here's a great resource on those. And be sure to check your Pagespeed Insights - the site seems to be loading slow for me.
Hope this helps! Good luck!

Does anyone know of a tool where you can get all of the keyword that any given landing page is ranking for?
I'd like to find out what landing pages are ranking for which keywords, but I haven't been able to find a tool that does it. I was hoping there would be something where I could submit the url and get a list of every keyword it is ranking for. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

Page Not Indexed
Hi Guys I wrote and published an article last night on my site but it is yet to be indexed. This is strange as articles are usually indexed pretty quickly. Could you have a quick look and see what the problem is? http://www.rankmytri.com/tomtom-running-and-triathlon-watch/ Also all my Blog posts (in the blog section of the site) are not indexed as well (and I dont think they have been for a while) yet I dont have any messages from Google in my webmaster tools. Thoughts? Thanks in advance Ross

Home Page
We are re-design our home page, one are of the current home page has a drop down window called "popular products" . We wrote short articles for our keywords and have them linked to product page. In the past, it has helped us rank. However, with new Google rules, our feeling is that such practice is no good. So, we lean towards to remove it. Still, we'd like to hear some opinions and ask some questions too: www.butterflycraze.com is it clear to you that this is not good in Google's eyes? how do I determine if these links serving any SEO purpose now after Panda? depend on the answer to 2), what should we do about these pages? shall be re-direct or shall we remove them from Google index?

Spammy keywords on a page
My client's website has a box of text on each page that is spammy and horrible to read and stuffed with keywords. The text boxes are there only for search engines as they mean nothing to humans. I say remove them as it must be doing more harm than good. However, my client is scared to remove them as the text has been there on each page for ten years and he is worried about a drop in visitor numbers if they are removed. Is he right to be worried?
