My fresh tag is a day reflects the day before I updated

minty fresh strangeness?

[stuntdubl]

I updated my site yesterday, because from this board I just learned that only index pages are reflect the 'fresh tag'. Anyhow, I went and checked my listing on google to see if it had been indexed, and the 'fresh tag' was dated September 9th.....the day before I updated my index page. I'm guessing there has to be an explainable reason for this, does anyone know what it is? Am I correct in my deduction from prior posts that only the index page counts for freshness? I did update other pages the prior day, could this be the reasoning for the date?

(Edited: Sorry I answered my own question.....sorry for the dumb post to anyone who wasted their time reading it....please delete me)

The fresh date can be added to any page, it just notes when the page was spidered. It is more likely to be the index page of a site as this is seen by google to be more important as it is usually the page with the most inbound links.

The fresh date will probably disappear in a day or two. Then in a few more days you'll get another fresh date once google has spidered it again this will take into account your new content.

Where in the world are you? I assume that the date that Google uses is that in some US time zone, so it may have still been Spetember 9th wherever Google is located, but your location had already become September 10th.

Time Zones confuse most people, and a lot of people will get it wrong over the next few weeks as Daylight savings Time changes over again (some places forwards one hour, some places one hour back) [ [timeanddate.com...] ]
