Google cache shows nothing

no date, no cache. Is this bad?

[Mito99]

hi,
we have a very old site that has been in the top rankings for years. Iīm not too much into SEO since I concentrate more on the content itself. But during the last two days we dropped to page 2 on our main keywords. The reason is unclear to me. Weīve been adding lots of news articles (specially written for a hand-full of webmasters only) during the last month. But thatīs the only bigger change we had.

Now, When I looked closer on my listing I saw that thereīs never a date next to the URL. I see that others get a new date almost daily. But I also see that there are some other sites without date ranking extremely well. Has the date any special meaning regarding my fall during the last days? And I also see that my cache shows nothing. My Site still has frames. Could it have something to do with that? It didnīt seem to bother Google too much during the last years... any help would be appreciated.

thanks

So more than one website is displaying the same content? Sounds like a duplicate content issue to me...

Well... Sure, there might be 10 other sites showing the same articles. But if you consider the way higher amount of sites showing daily general news...I mean, yahoo, reuters...all showing the same news. Wouldnīt they also be penalised? sounds strange to me
