The Great Google Cache Date Mystery.

It appears that something is up with Google and their cache reporting.  A lot of pages seem to have  cache dates of August 12 or there abouts, sites that were previously cached regularly are reporting that they have not been cached.

So the questions now are :-

Is it the cache date reporting that is wrong or

Is it that Google has suddenly ramped down their caching? 

Are they ‘full’ again as they were a couple of years back?

Is something BIG, HUGE, MONUMENTAL, about to happen, are we in for another update of ‘Florida’ proportions?

Much has been said of late at the apparent worsening of web spam handling within the Google index. Could we be standing on the precipice blissfully unaware 🙂
