Zero Pages indexed in over 4 years
Hey guys, I have had my site up for about 4 years. I am using SEO for firefox and I am seeing that I am ranked 5th for my keyterm but no pages are indexed by google.

Maybe I am not understanding your question right, but how can you not have one page indexed in google, but rank #5 for a particular keyword? You would have to have at least one page indexed to be ranked.
How many pages does google show when using the site: operator for your domain name?

It's a good bet to assume that he either has his robots.txt file messed up or blocking spiders through the meta robots tag.

A site will still show up even when blocked through the robots file - and the keyword he's ranking 5th for is probably his official business/ domain name.
Again it's a guess at this moment - but probably a good one.

You absolutely must be blocking search engines. You would not be ranking for anything if Google had some reason banned you and removed you from the index. Just as everyone said, you are most likely blocking the search engine bots and we can't give you specific instructions without your site URL.

Its a very strange problem if you didn't limit search engines from indexing your pages.
I only can assume two things:
1) you website has not a lot of pages so Google didn't index them.
2) Your robots.txt file limited Google from crawling your pages.
Check this file on your server and if its true, Go to Google webmaster tools and make a robots.txt file over there easy or make it yourself if you can and then upload this new file to the home page of your website.

This is not a true statement. Google will index a website even if it has 1 page. Case in point; parked domains get indexed which only have one page and barley any content.
