PageRank Update!

well, for what it is worth, I have never had a problem with it on any of my sites. Your site is definitely the first I have seen a cache date in 1969 for. As far as I know that was before Google's time, but maybe I am wrong.

I would be interested in seeing other sites that the cache command does not work for, as we are planning on using it for one of our projects.

Hmm, yeah the 1969 thing is unusual. It actually shows the cache date as 31 Dec 1969 23:59:59 GMT for every page of our site thats indexed (around 1000 at the moment). The site is updated daily with many new pages and Google is pretty quick at indexing them and updating the cache for existing pages but the date is always wrong. It has been suggested it was caused by one of their servers being hacked and the date defaulting back to 1/1/70 which is day 1 for most computers. I keep toying with the idea of contacting Google to see if they can fix it but I'm always worried it may effect my site's listing (althougfh at the moment I'm in the so called sandbox).

Anyway, that aside I have noticed seperate incidents of the cache command not working for newer pages on sites, and theses are sites without screwy dates like mine. Can't remember exact incidents but I will do some homework and show a few examples. I woul;n't say it's anything major but it's enough to prove the command isn't 100% accurate.

Just curious..how do you define "in the sandbox" and how long does this period normally last?

The "sandbox", as I understand it, refers to BL's being phased in, or placed in some kind of incubation area for a few months. But, Morgan would probably be the best one to tell you what it means as I believe he is the one who coined the phrase in the first place.

It's reported that this has been in place since March 2004 and very few sites that have gone live since then have been able to rank well for competitive keywords.

A good article can be found at http://www.seochat.com/c/a/Google/Th...-Place-to-Play although if you Google the word sandbox you will find plenty more.
