Submit Non-Cached Pages to Google etc

[bendecko]

Hi

I've been looking thru my referers to my site. I have a lot of good backlinks that are not cached by Google. Some of these come from authority sites and .gov domains, but Google (or other SEs) don't know anything about these links.

Is it worthwhile me

1) Submitting them myself to Google
2) Linking to them from another site just to get them cached.

The PageRank algo means that any page must be passed PR to send it on. So maybe I'm wasting my time?

Thoughts please.

Thanks

Yes, definitely link to these pages from anywhere that's currently getting cached, it's an old trick and it works well.

Yes, helping those urls get backlinks does make sense -- but I'd say you should probably forget about "submitting". Wtih backlinks they won't need it, and without backlinks, as you noted, they won't "stick" in the index anyway.

My last point tho. Say I link these .gov pages etc from a directory or two. Will the .gov site give me a boost because its .gov or will it just pass on the minute amount of page rank that my original link (from a directory) gave that .gov page.
