I have a fairly new site which has been listed in Yahoo and Dmoz for about 2 weeks, and in Google for about 4 weeks. Each Monday night/Tuesday morining (about midnight of monday?) - Google shows the updated cache or our website and therefore the site searches very effectively and brings up all of our key words. The dance seems to be over very quickly.. at first the new cache is on only some data centers, then soon after it is on all of them.

Then on Tuesday (also at midnight)?, the Google cache of our site reverts to the old one (which was really down in a testing phase) and it therefore does not return well in searches and bring up our key words.

This has know gone on for at least 3 consecutive weeks (wee will see the the old cache reappears tonight at midnight, since the new ones appeared Monday night at midnight.

Google does not yet show a page rank or back-links for me, allthough some definitely exist.

Can anyone help me understand what is happenind here?

Also, I have read lot's of talk about a monthly dance, but for the last 3 weeks - it has looked to me, as if there is a small dance every monday night around midnight.

I suspect you may be seeing the disappearance of "fresh tags' that was discussed in another thread three days ago...

If the up to date cache has a date in green on the SERPS and the out-of-date one does not, this is what's happening.

One of my sites has a What's New page with a date embedded in the HTML. Most days it's bang up to date - 48 hours old at most. Once a week, Google wheels out a really old version that corresponds to the date - as far as I can see - when Google last spidered the whole site, static pages and all...

What can you do? nothing really, but at least some time soon you'll get a more up-to-date cache that it reverts to when it's not right up to the minute.

Thanks.. in fact, with this last update on Monday, the newly spidered cache of almost all of our pages is now appearing (and not being over-written). We will have to see how things progress next week :)

I can almost guarantee you will see your PR in less than 30 days from today. Make sure you already have at least 1 backlink today.
