Right I've been promoting a website of mine quite a bit recently and as expected, Google has been updated it's cache of my site.

BUT, today I check the cache of my home page and it's gone back to how it was about 3 months ago! Also, there is no date next to my listing meaning it must have finished looking through my site.

Any ideas why this has happened?

I noticed that one of my sites went to an early May cache today and no date next to my listing. I checked on one of the google datacenter dance tools and see a newer cache on some data centers. I've seen this happen before and it usually corrects itself within a couple of dance.

Its typical Google rollercoaster behaviour, esp. for new sites.

Ignore it and press onwards and upwards creating content and getting backlinks.

Probably the sites in question are quite new.

PR of 5 and higher will give you a daily visit and the cachedate will be refreshed every day (you will see the date of the day before next to your listing).

With lower PR the bot doesn't visit you that often and it might happen that you fall back to an old cachedate from time to time.

So you better work on more backlinks.

The thing is it isn't a new website. It has a PR of 5 and it's been online a few years.

Also, the rank has shot up - like 100 places!

Since end of May, I am experiencing the same "old cache/ no fresh date" problem with one of my PR6 pages.

Meanwhile, my other PR5+ pages are still daily refreshed.

Would Google be filtering some pages for over optimization reasons? Possible...
