My site has a cache page in Japanese!

The Cashe for my site, which comes up correct in the address bar, shows the address and site in Google Cashe of a Japanish Jungle products page.

Believe me, I do not sell Japanish Jungle products!

What gives?

Can I email this to someone at Google?

Pigsfeet, sorry to hear that, but not really. I was afraid my site was hacked during the deep crawl.

Somewhat releived that I am not alone with this problem...

Can you write to search-quality@google.com and mention the specifics? You can also do a spam report and mention the sites too--either way. We'll check it out. Thanks!

I have since checked many site's cashe, not just mine, but others with my target keywords and they also have incorrect cashe...

I will email it.

Did anyone of you try to search for the URL of the cache?

I have a not that pleasant cache on my site. And I was just wondering if they would have a cache of my site... However, when searching for the URL, google couldn't find it. Not even the main domain for this page. This means that it is a cache of a site that is not even indexed.
(?!?)

I've passed a couple of these urls back for someone to check out. I'll let you know, but my hunch is that this is a mismatch between servers somewhere. I'll let you know when I know more.

That was fast. Okay, I already got a couple replies from Google engineers. I love that people are up at 1am and responding to email. Sounds like an easy problem to fix--mismatch between the old and new index--should be within a few hours or so. Interestingly enough, it sounds like it usually only affects the people who bypass DNS and go straight to IP addresses. :)
