Google immediately caches my site every time I post an article - is this normal?

The last couple of times I have posted a new article on one of my sites, Google has cached the site almost straight away - I'm talking 1 to 2 minutes I know because I do a search for the site and next to it is '2 minutes' ago or whatever(however long ago I submitted the new content). I then click the 'cached' button and it's always the same day.

I'm obviously very pleased with this, I just want to know why this is happening. It's a Wordpress built site, has Max Blog Press Ping Optimizer installed and is number 9 in a competitive niche - does that explain it? After weeks of dancing and rankings frustration at the back end of last year, it feels great to be feeling the Google love, I just hope it continues

    a ping is basically like calling your dog. it tells Google to come and index because you have new content. So.where's the problem here?

      No problem at all :p I'm just wondering because it didn't used to do this - the site would get cached maybe once a week at best, regardless of new content. I take it as a compliment from the big G

    I don't know if this is true or not (and I don't even remember all the details so take it with a grain of salt) but someone had pointed out that has something to do with your personal cache on your computer.
    So if I was to search Google on my PC for your article 2 minutes after you posted it, I would not see it.
    Can anyone confirm this or let me know if I'm on crack?

    I've been experimenting with posting articles on various sites to see which get the best Google love.

    I'll post the same article or slideshow on several sites, ping, then start checking Google in a couple of minutes.

    I find that some sites show up almost immediately, some take longer than others.

    Also, some of the articles get Google-bounced the next day, while some stay exactly where they first debuted.

    Incidentally, my experiments are yielding wildly unpredicatable results. The order that the articles appear in Google is totally independent of PR of the site, or the site's Alexa ranking.
