A site of a potential customer of mine has a PR=5 with some 90 incomming links. All pages of the site are known by Google (they all have PR).
Now this site is nowhere to be found in the SERP not even when I search on their company name.
They use following Meta Tags and I wondered if those are the culprit of not being in the index:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META Expires: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="0">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" CONTENT="no-cache">
I did some searching on this and other forums on those meta tags but my english is not that well that I understood what they meant.
Any idea?
Thank you very much for your answers.

<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOARCHIVE">
There must be something else going on. If the pages have a PR they must be in the index. Try searching for a unique string on your homepage.
BTW how do you know about the 90 links?
The backlinks i find through the Google Toolbar. I just re-read the source code of the site.
The site is a multi language site written in asp. But it is verrryyy lowly or not SEO optimised (not even the basic meta tags), so I guess this is the main reason.
A lot of incomming links (good product with alot of customers who link to the site thus the high PR) but not enough relevant texts with keywords in it so low SERP.
I have some work to do :-)
thank you very much for helping me out with the cache-pragma stuff...
