    Hello,
    while approving links i came accross this site: mr-handyman-franchise.com , i go to google to see if it is banned or not and i find its link and when i click on cached image something like this comes up :

    http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache...ndyman-franchise.com&hl=en&gl=ca&ct=clnk&cd=6

    Now i have not seen google caching screwed up like that before.

    So is it the site causing that screwup or google caching screwed up in this case??

    No problem at all: Mr. Handyman just uses CSS and absolute positioning - which interferes with google's caching system.
    The site is clearly not banned (it would not have a cache in google if it were) and looks fine. Google can see the content of that site - so there is no problem with that either. Just to us humans the cache looks a bit weird.

    It really isn't a problem. Google just hasn't updated their caching yet to be able to deal with CSS based sites. My whole Dutch webdesign site looks just like that in google-cache and is found for quite decently competitive terms (or rather: what should be competitive terms but somehow aren't ;) )
