Page rank but no cache

plz help

Please can anyone advise me how a sub page can have a page rank of 5 but not be in the cache. The homepage is the only page in the cache, this is in google by the way. Cheers from Mr Confused

Well, you can use a robots nocache and still have great PageRank and solid rankings. But if you haven't prohibited caching, then that situation does sound a bit odd. How long has it been like this?

The new Google toolbar appears to be working out the PageRank of a page by determining the page's depth from the websites homepage.

This might be the reason you are seeing unusual results.

Simple, the page doesn't have a PR5. You just think it does because of the inaccurate toolbar!

I have seen similar thing with some SEO company building a network crosslinking all their websites.

these guys spend countless hours asking for reciprocal links and they provide a link back from pages that have PR but NEVER have a Google cache, obviously a scam but I won't how they managed to do that.

It's obviously on purpose in my example (maybe some server config I dunno, but surely nothing as obvious as the no-cache tag or similar) but in yours it could simply be a toolbar error.

You have to know that if the page you are talking about WAS indexed during the latest PR update, it will be given PR until the next update even if the page is an orphan now which could lead Google to not keeping it in cache....my 2 cents but interesting subject.
