Like the topic says: my cache hasn't been updated since january, and off course I wonder why :).
I searched this forum, but i couldnt come up with something relevant. I thought the cache was updated once every month (give or take) when a new crawl is launched? Please advise, thx.
did you check www-sj.google.com? (the so-called pre-update).
Sometimes Google takes a while for updating the cache and it can be a couple of indexes behind. Higher Pagerank, or more inbound links might help to get more frequent caching of your content.
BTW thx for welcoming me :) it's good to be a part of the community.
The Google monthly update is a phenonemon that can carry a lot of joy, sadness, frenzy and hysteria. I'm not saying you should read all those hundreds of posts in those threads, but it will give you a general picture.
Good your cached properly in the pre-update. Give it a couple of days to role over to google in general.
Here's the link

Is it normal that the new site still isn't updated to regular google? If i'm being unpatient, you can say so :) but I'm waiting since january, and the client (for whom the website is intended) is on my back about this...
this suspicion was shared by annej and maybe now there are three of us.
I have rewritten the page but find it very difficult to avoid using the keywords and seem to be still above the count.
it might be something else ...but my next try will be to use the keyword just twice in the text and I will work up from there
What do you think is "the count"?

it seems to be pretty low as I didn't intentionally use the keywords a lot but just very often as best description of fact in quite a long substantial text.
Try doing a search in Webmaster World's 'site search' on the phrase "keyword density." Loads of great stuff in there!
Not sure I understand your site's status as far as whether or not it's appearing correctly in -sj, but if my read of the two strings is correct and your site is properly cached in -sj (and -fi), then you will see it on Google's main site. Just be patient.
I simply wanted to know how long it would take for the new site (which i can find on www-sj.google.com) to be imported in the www.google.com website. I've been waiting a very long time and so on and so on.
Our website provides information about a resort area where we also sell real estate. So to describe this area, you have to use phrasing such as "(Resort area name)information" or "(Resort area name)restaurants" or "What to do in (Resort area name)."
In our little pond, one of the sites that is always on the first page of search results for key phrases is a commercial information site where business of all kinds pay to have links on that site. This site repeats important keywords many times and NEVER seems to be penalized.
All I can say (and I hope Google Guy is reading this) is that Google's algorithm still needs work as does not differentiate between sites that provide little content on their home page and sites that do.
