Q and A: Should I be concerned that Google is not caching my index page?
Hello all. Happy Thursday! I've got a Live Chat FAQ transcript for you today:
Dale : Good evening.
kalena : How may I help You?
Dale : This is a tremendous service.
kalena : Live Help? Glad you like it
Dale : Quick question , should I be concerned that Google is not caching my index page?
kalena : Yes. Has it been cached before? How long has it not been cached?
Dale : Last week I changed the title format of my posts and the index cache was dropped.
kalena : Can you give me the URL and I'll take a quick look?
Dale : They have re indexed the posts with the amended tiltles
Dale : jerseyboysblog.com
Dale : I have read that it could be a data center thing
kalena : I see that you've got a verification tag in place. Have you looked at the stats for the site in GG Webmaster Tools?
Dale : Yes I have, everything is fine except the cache
kalena : If Googlebot hasn't had any problems indexing and all looks ok in sitemaps, my guess is that either your new data is on a datacenter that hasn't updated yet or your page has been sent to the supplemental index.
kalena : Have you updated your XML file and pinged GG to request re-indexing of the sitemap?
Dale : I hope so, I seen sites go from no cache to no PR to no index.
kalena : And the only changes you made were to your title tags for blog posts, right?
Dale : Yes, I updated the site site map manually and resubmitted successfully.
Dale : I amended the CSS so the posts are at the top of the page and the navigation is at the bottom
kalena : Ok, then hopefully it is just a temporary issue and should be resolved between the next cache update and database shuffle.
kalena : Have you checked the way GG views your robots.txt since the changes?
Dale : I have tried to optimize organically.
kalena : Ah. If you've made a LOT of changes to the site in terms of organic SEO, it may have prompted an aging delay, but that shouldn't affect the cache. Are you still seeing good rankings?
Dale : I have dropped from six to ten for the key term Jersey Boys, but that has always fuctuated
kalena : yes. If you were suffering the aging/redesign delay, you wouldn't be ranking for anything. Same if you are in the supplementals, but you also would have an old cache.
Dale : It is hard to compete against ticket brokers with 100's of affiliate links.
kalena : sure, I understand. Just keep an eye on Webmaster Tools and you can always submit a query to GG via that interface if probs continue
Dale : Okay, good night, and thank you.
kalena : so long
