does meta noarchive work?

    Am I correct in my understanding that if I use the noarchive meta tag, it will let google spider a site and show snippets and page titles but they will not cache the information? I will be switching eventually to a paid model and I dont want it to be out there on the net forever for people to work around my fee.

    Thanks for a response!

    ok that's exciting - now what about sites like the wayback machine? will this information show up there 5 years from now?

    Yes... there isn't a way to remove stuff from the wayback machine (that I know of).

    Wow I've heard lots of debate about google caching and copyright issues (not that I agree with most of the people who oppose it) but that takes the cake - at least you can turn G, M and Y's caching systems off. Can anyone think of an alternate way to offer this information? It's not high stakes, I'm just wondering.
