What is the date next to my url in Google?

Date is right before word "cached"

Hi WW...
I tried the Google Knowledge Base, and could only find something about "fresh" tag with date.
What is a fresh tag? And if this is not a fresh tag what does it mean?

It is dated 3 Sept 2002, which is yesterday and I did notice that the cached page shows some changes I made to it, although not the ones I made late last night.

Thanks as always,
Linda

Hi Linda,

When Google first introduced the date stamps, they included the word Fresh! next to the date.

They no longer use the word fresh, but we still refer to it as a fresh tag.

Thanks WebGuerrilla,

Tried to look up "fresh tag" in glossary and not there. Can you please explain what a fresh tag is and what it relates to. Why do some sites have fresh tag date and others not.

Thanks again,
Linda
