No Google Cache Link

Google has not cached my site since a month

[Rajiv]

Hi.. I've been monitoring couple of my site's and found that one of my site is not being cached by Google, while the other has.

Further, we'll not find the cache details either by using the Google toolbar, or by typing the URL in the Google search box.

Infact, I am facing this problem since last one month. I've been updating the pages on a daily basis to ensure GoogleBot (or FreshBot) crawls my site (atleast my home page), but has not done yet. While, other site's have been updated on more than 2 occassions.

To add to this problem, inspite of having a Google PR of 6 (was 5 till 27th or 28th OCT 2003, the link popularity has increased from 115 to 155) this site appears on the Google listing without the title and description.

Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.

Thanking you in anticipation
With warm regards
Rajiv

I have seen two reasons for this

#1 has an HTML NOCACHE tag in the page
#2 Google has manually penalized this page and somehow this results in it not appearing in cache. I have heard people talk about this

Have you done anything that Google would not like?

[Rajiv]

Hi finer9, thank you for your respose..

1) I've not used the NOCACHE tag in any of the pages.
2) As for Google manually peralizing this page, can you figure out any reason as to why this would be so? I've not used any spam methods which can create a problem.

Please let me know .
Thank you!

Thank you Coosblues...

I found something interesting on that link which is realted to godaddy...I have one of my site's with godaddy and facing the same problems of not being cached and listed in Google results with no title and description.

After a small analysis, I found that even godaddy has no title and description in google (just type their url in google search box and see for yourself).. I guess you are right.. this has some thing to do with godaddy, who now are placing a gdform.php file on every client's server.. (I am not sure what this file is.. and if this is the same with you.. just check it and let me know!)

With warm regards

Hi Coosblues..

I've ready your other posts on the URL you've given and found your comments about Godaddy.. do you have the gdform.php file on your server posted by godaddy?

Also, did you change the host now?

Please let me know.

[coosblues]

Yes, I've changed hosts. I can say one good thing about the previous host - they are quite fast at propogating your website to the new DNS. Mine took about 18 hours, and then I was off and running with my new server. I even had a stop at the new server by GBot - just for my robots.txt file but nice to see it again. I also had numerous requests from Gbotimages - all with 36 hours of leaving "that host". I never noticed the file you are talking about but I'm almost postive it was never on my site while on that server.

HMM, that's very odd for the webhosting company not to have any description, cache, or similar links showing in the serps. I wonder how long they have been that way although they do however have plenty of other pages in the index. Yep, glad I wiped my hands of them.
