Cache dates/times displayed in Hours

Are you "logged in" to a Google account when you see this? If so, it could be the time that YOU last visited (while logged in) and not when googlebot spidered.

Hi Tedster,

i was logged yes,

so i've just tried it when not logged in

ht*p://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.cnn.com&num=100&hl=en

i'm getting this:

CNN.com - Breaking News, US, World, Weather, Entertainment & Video ... News(General) CNN.com delivers the latest breaking news and information on the latest top stories, weather, business, entertainment, politics, and more.
www.cnn.com/ - 133k - 29 minutes ago - Cached - Similar pages

can you replicate that.

Vimes.

No times for me, just dates. I'm currently seeing results from these IPs 64.233.169.103, 64.233.169.147, 64.233.169.99, 64.233.169.104

Mine are from

66.249.89.147

i've uninstalled my stumble tool bar thinking it was that and i'm still seeing them from here.

just dates on your range

Vimes.

OK - I do see the minutes on your IP address. Funny, it now says 28 minutes. Why list minutes if you don't keep the clock running? Or does CNN's home page get spidered every thirty minutes, maybe?

I think this is happening for those pages,which are frequently updated.

Yea weird,

Seeing up to 22 hours on some CNN pages so I guess it shows up to a 24hour clock and then disappears, back to a “normal” appearance.

But why show it? something to do with the supplemental result tag dissappearing.?

No,I don't think so.
May be G is showing this,so that webmasters can think about this and figure out another updates in the SERP of G.

< moved from another location >

Fresh tags disappeared for several days nearer the beginning of the month.

They reappeared just a day or two ago. The Fresh date has usually been about 1 to 3 days old.

Today fresh tags have changed their format.

I now see things like "7 hours ago" instead of just a raw date.

Hmm. Didn't previously notice this thread. I see those when not logged in.

Hey Guys..

MC just reported this in his blog.

Perhaps it's just G knowing how often to spider/update some sites that are time sensitive.
