If it is visible with the naked eye, why did it take so long to find?

Here, the scientific paper about the planet's discovery. See for yourself:
[link to star-www.herts.ac.uk]
It was found with the doppler technique, the planet is not naked eye visible, it wasn't even seen directly in telescopes and required a great deal of effort just to detect by the doppler shift its gravity induces on its parent star.
