Cache date / rankings

....any idea

[lee_sufc]

My site took a hit during Jagger. Yesterday, many of my KWs recoved (not all but the majoirty) at the same time Google updated the Cache of my site to 7Jan06

However, this evening, my defauly google (and various other DCs) are now showing the older Cache (Dec27) and poor rankings......

Am i likely to get these good rankings again?

You might want to pose this question in the new Datacenter thread.

To answer your question, I just lost about 20 places with NO change in my cache of Dec 26.

That wouldn't be the place to ask a question like this.

A cache slopping back is normal. You appear to have gotten a boost from a fresh cache. It may mean you are healed or it may have been something flukey, but you should wait and see when your master cache is updated. If you are crawled regularly it should be in the next day or two.

I have a site that was ranked number 2 for one of its biggest keywords for a quite a while. All of the sudden it dissapeared and one of the /directory pages going after variation of the same keyword was showing up on page 5. I looked at the homepage cache and it had chaged to feb 27 05 almost a year old. This was of my old homepage in all flash, and no seo. The /directory page had a cache of a couple days old.

In Big Daddy the cache has been corrected and it is at #2 again. So my experiance is that cache can effect rankings.

I've noticed that the newer cache has been back (Jan 8 from Dec 26) on all the sites in my list. Check yours!

Just a personal opinion but I have found that an initial boost is usualy followed by a small drop off, maybe as penalties are applied to incoming link sites. These things seem to come in stages, but the sites that I have followed seem to stay quite high once they've been re-indexed.

Realistically, all you can do is make sure that you have a clean site and google can't apply penalties to you personally. Then just fingers crossed that you incoming links don't incur a whallop ... and then hopefully you'll be back.

I found, when my main site was re-included, that it took about a week for my incoming links to be calculated. When it happen back in September I got banned again ... this time seems quite solid.

Best of Luck

fromrocky -

no my sites still show older Cache (Dec27). Did your rankings improve with the newer cache too?

i've also noticed on the DCs where I'm ranking well, I have double the number of links?
