Web page is showing up on Google but doesn't show when it was cached, so is it indexed?
-
Hey everyone So I created a new page on a WordPress website, it was live for a few hours till I changed my mind & switched it back to a draft. Just out of curiosity I did the Site:www.example.com/Example search on Google to see if it had been indexed & apparently it had but when I click on cached to see what time it got indexed at exactly it's showing me an error. So does this mean it is indexed or not?

It was last crawled on the 4th of October & im pretty sure that it was live for a few hours on the 7th I think but how did Google even find the page because you can only get to it by clicking or typing the URL in directly, there aren't any links on the site that actually point to that page

Hi Ruslan here is the URL: http://www.ppilegalservices.co.uk/ppi-lenders/

Can you please provide a link to your website, because otherwise my answer will be just a guess.
Cheers,
Russel

Use Google Webmaster Tools to see when it was last crawled. I know that a lot of other people have problems finding the 'cache' link.
And to be honest, it won't really matter if the site not live any way. New sites don't really rank much till you start populating it with content.

Wrong page version in the index
Hi, my site is currently accessible through URL with and without www. The Version with www has 10 times more Backlinks (PA 45 vs 38) but is not listet into the google Index. As far as I know there was never made a google Webmaster account or declared otherwise the version without www to be 'cannonical'. Basically I think that for SEO reasons it would be much better to declare the with www version to be cannonical and redirect the without www version to it. My questions are: Do you have an idea why the with www version is not indexed?

Do I risk my site to be thrown out of the index for some days untill the change is made? Thanks in advance.0 -
Page not being indexed
Hi all, On our site we have a lot of bookmaker reviews, and we are ranking pretty good for most bookmaker names as keywords, however a single bookmaker seems to have been shunned by Google. For a search "betsafe" in Denmark, this page does not appear among the top 50: http://www.betxpert.com/bookmakere/betsafe All of our other review pages rank in top 10-20 for the bookmaker name as keyword. What to do if Google has "banned" a page? Best regards, Rasmus
