    I deleted a page and wanted to check some information from it. Is there a way to see what a webpage looked like on a specific date. Its not the home page but one of the inner pages?

    If the new version has not been cached yet, you can pull up the old one by typing in cache:www.url.com in Google search.

    Not sure if it's still alive or how far back it goes, but there used to be this really cool website called The Wayback Machine which would show cached copies of websites back in time. You might have to Google it but pretty sure it does what you're talking about :)

    To recover the lost page, the best option is that you search the page across all three major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Windows Live Search) and hope that a copy of the web page exists in the cache somewhere.

    Agreed with the other webmasters. The best thing to solve your problem is through looking at your cache page. Hopefully google has already cache the page you wanna see.
