      A section of pages on my site are indexed (I know because they appear in SERPs if I copy and paste a sentence from the content), however according to the text-only cached version of the page they are not being read by Google.Why are they indexed event hough it seems like Google is not reading them..... or is Google in fact reading this text even though it seems like they should not be?Thanks for your assistance.

        Hi Sara,

        I am assuming that you haven't used the noarchive tag in your new pages source code?

        How old are these pages?

        Is there any chance of an example so I can see exactly what you mean?

        Please keep in mind the fact that if it is new content it will be indexed on Google before it is cached, so if you are getting a 404 not found error when you click on the cached version this is because the cache hasn't caught up on your new content but should within a few weeks.

        • How long will old pages stay in Google's cache index. We have a new site that is two months old but we are seeing old pages even though we used 301 redirects.
