Bit off topic, but you probably know the answer

Looking for an assist here: I have an advertiser who wants to buy a text link at my website. The site has been in existence for years and has been indexed in Google for years. However, when you check the site in Google it is not "cached". The advertiser wants it to be "cached" before we proceed. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to resolve this.

Running this Google search: site:1955design.com shows the pages are not cached. What can I do to make them so?

Also, running this Google search: cache:http://www.1955design.com shows nothing. That's the problem the advertiser is having...

Thanks to all!

    Kind a crazy notion.

    Anyway, your site is cached. Virtually all sites indexed have some
    sort of cache. Do a search for 1955design.com, and you
    will see the cache link.

    But, it's kind of crazy for someone looking to buy a link wanting the
    cache. Why? Because the cached version is an old version and the
    link will not show up. Crazy notion.

    If your site is crawled frequently, then indeed it probably gets a newer
    cached version. The person buying the link would sure like to
    have that version cached, but that has nothing to do with the
    site being cached now.

    Now here's the kicker. Your cache may not be found everywhere.
    Depending on where you are, it may be missing.

    There are other possibilities. The cache has been removed. Somehow
    google is not caching it. Either way, seems to me the point is moot
    for a link buyer.
