google cache issue

[samcarson]

Hello Warriors,

I purchased a PR5 domain a month back. The seller installed a wordpress blog specific to my niche. The blog is indexed in google.

The thing that is bothering me is, the blog is not showing up in the google cache. I verified this with the SEOBOOK Page Rank toolbar and also by manually entering site name in google search.

One of the reasons I purchased this blog is to link back to my sites from within the articles that are posted daily. (Auto Blogging)

I mentioned this to the seller and according to him it is not a big deal since the site is indexed and the link juice will still be passed on.

I am finding that a little hard to believe. If the blog is not in google's cache what is being passed to my site?

Will appreciate your opinion

Thanks in advance

Sam

Good PR always require a good website. Even if you have a high PR domain - if the website is not upto the mark - obviously it will drop down in the very next PR update. I think you must taken this seriously and put the necessary things up with the site.

Thanks, I will add some unique content

There is no such thing as a PR5 domain. Indivudual urls get PR not an entire domain.

The thing that is bothering me is, the blog is not showing up in the google cache.

What do you mean it's not cached?
You say it's indexed in Google right? But it doesn't have a link to the cached page in the listing?
Is the NOCACHE meta tag on? Remove it.

But, I'm still a little confused, you said the blog is new to the domain? Did you install it after purchasing the domain?

Thx for the PM. I have looked at all the usuall and typical reasons for this and can find no reason (it has good PR; there is no nocache tag; robots.txt is not blocking it; etc).

The only mystery, that someone may have input on is this:

There is no Google cache when you check directly.
HOWEVER, if you do a site:domain search and then click on the cached link in the search results, then it is there (from a few days ago).

I have no idea why ... maybe a data center issue ... maybe give it some time .... maybe someone else has an idea.

I have had one site which I spammed tons of backlinks to from forum profiles disappear from #1 ranking and lose it's cache. It is still indexed but completely absent from the search results and there is no cache option available to the url.

I'm not sure if this is the issue but I have only had one site that behaved the way you are describing. I guess there really is no way to find out what's happening with the site since you don't know it's history.

There is a lot of up's and down's all over the place. I wouldnt really worry about it too much. Caffeine has had lots of implications.. Things are settling down for me, and should do soon.
