date of last index on google

how to make this show all the time

sometimes when i search on google it shows the date this site was last indexed on google. Sometimes it doesnt. How can I make this show all the time. Or even make it show when I want it to?

i'm guessing you mean the cached date.

I don't think there's any any of making that show all the time. It's just when google last looked at your page and put it in it's page cache, if it was during the last couple of days they'll show a date, otherwise they don't - some people add a hidden field with todays date to try and track it...

From what I see the sites with higher PR have the page cache refreshed more frequently (however it may be that they are really dynamic sites - updating a lot etc, I haven't really checked), I've got a couple of sites, that usually have the home page cache updated at least every other day, and inner pages updated a couple of times a month (I'm sure there's a few people here that do better than that :)) - hope that kind of helps....

thanks.
I dont think it has anything to do with the last cache date though. Im searching here as many major sites I can think of and I cannot get a single date up. not for msn, google, yahoo anything sites that would be up udated many times a day.
