How to get your pages refreshed by Google

[Killah]

Hi everbody!

I got a problem with Google here that I simply don't understand. They won't update my sub-pages for some reason. I got 50-60 pages linked from a PR6 page within my website. Each of these pages has an own PR of 2-3 due to that. The PR6 page gets spidered every 2-3 days at least and so I would expect the links on it. But the pages linked from that PR6 page have a google cache from August 2005. Any idea how to get Google to refresh those pages?

Thanks, Jan

There's a lot of this being reported right now and for the past 2-3 months. No one I know of has found a way to force a refresh, but it does seem that it will happen in its own sweet time.

Also there sometimes seems to be a disconnect between the cached pages and the data that is actually being used to calculate the SERP. Those links might be in play even though the page they're on is showing an older cahce date.

I alluded to this somewhere else here not long ago.

I'm now very far from convinced that there is any meaningful relationship between the position of pages on a site in a heirarchical navigation scheme and their pagerank. Certainly what I see on my prime site suggests that Google ranks pages as pages (it _is_, after all, called _PAGE_rank) and their position in the happenstance heirarchy of my web site has only a minor impact.

I have a page in a level _five_ directory that contains unique information about connecting certain types of radio to certain types of car. Beautifully unique (and - BTW - non-profit) keywords. Google shows a ToolBar p/r of 6 - the home page five levels up is only 3.

And, IMO, Google has got that about right.
