Can someone tell me why I do not see "Visualforce Pages" in the edit layout view of Accounts while I can see Visualforce Pages in the same view for Contacts? I can see Fields, Buttons, Custom Links, Related Lists, and Actions but no Visualforce Pages. How can I add a VF page on an Accounts record – I was neatly able to do so on Contacts but not on Accounts cause the option doesn't exist.
Just to make myself clearer:
In the Contact Layout, I see to the extreme left:
Fields Buttons Custom Links Visualforce Pages (On clicking this, you see the created Visualforce pages to the right that you can easily drag and drop) Related Lists Actions
When I look at the same thing for Accounts though, this is what I see:
Fields Buttons Custom Links Related Lists Actions

My guess is that your VF page which you have done for accounts doesnt have a standardcontroller="Account" and your Vf page for contact has standardcontroller="contact"
If you want your VF pages to be available on your pagelayout then you need to define the standardcontroller as that object which you want the page to be embeded in.
