Hmmm

well, I have conducted an "index test" , and changed a page on May 15, from "index,follow" in the metatags, to "noindex,follow".

since then the page has been spidered 5 times,

and guess what, the page is still in the google index with the "old" syntax (i.e. index,follow)

so, I personally believe they are having some issues releasing a "cleaned version of their index".

EDIT: , and I am not talking about the cache, their cache shows the new page. However, the page still receives traffic as it did before, indicating it is still indexed, and a viable search result.
