Result dates going backwards?

Even older pages appearing

Over the last 36 hours or so, I am getting requests for pages from Google visitors that were removed 4/5 months ago against 2/3 months up til now.

Whilst some recent pages are available via freshbot, it seems the bulk of the results are slipping backwards in time - whatever the intention of the algo changes, I am sure this wasn't it!

Hi,
The same here, my index page of January is back up and also in the cache.
I have seen my index-page of March for 1 week.
Then the one of January again.
Then suddenly last week my index-page of April showed for about 5 days.
Now it is again the index-page of January that shows up and is in the cache.

I'ts like Orson Wells Time-Machine.

Google cache of my homepage is from June 2nd 2003 - obviously from Mr (Ms?) Freshbot.

Old , unwanted pages popping up in SERPS is another unpleasent effect of the recent backdate.
