Googles Cache

Ancient Cache, And I dont Know why

[BillGray]

I have been reading this forum and I did not understand a lot of what people were saying, now I do.

I have several sites all listed on google, I have just searched them and cheched out googles cache, the pages are so old I forgot how bad they looked. Is there any way to update this cache manually. Paid or Unpaid, I do not like what I am seeing even though it was me that wrote these pages.

No direct paid refreshing of cache as of yet ;)

Best bet is to get fresh links, preferrably external (from other sites) links to these pages, preferrably from webpages that get crawled frequently (often higher Pageranked pages).

You can always tell Google not to cache your pages.

<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE"> [google.com...]

Seeing the cache can help out figuring what on-page content Google used when ranking your page, so some webmasters prefer seeing the cache.

I'd check if your web server is messing up the If-Modified-Since headers. If Googlebot asks if the content changed and your web server says "nope" then we can skip crawling and use the previous content, I believe.
