    Just been looking through one of my sites, and i have pages that have been cached in google suddenly dropped :( these inner pages of the site have pagerank. what is going on??

    example page

    http://www.mazoo.co.uk/art/figurative-triptych-c-25_38.html

    It has google PR2 but when you click on the cached snapshot it shows no page indexed.

    any idea whats up with it... ?

    Start your deep linking and get backlinks pointing to your inner pages at least the important sections and you will get them back indexed.

    Google's cache and index seems to be in really bad shape at the moment. I had cached pages "roll back" to versions a month old.

    Also terms i was #1 on had 130 Million results, i'm still #1 but now it's showing 30 Million. So a drop of 100 Million pages for a search term... Somethings broke at the Plex.

    I noticed your page that dropped it's cache isn't really unique. See here. I don't know what's up with that text.usg.edu result.

    Try adding more unique text on your page, and building some deeplinks.

    I've seen the same problem with a few pages on a site I work on. As of about 10 days ago, two or three pages disappeared from the cache - Google returns no results for them. There haven't been any recent changes to them (last updated 3 months ago, and these were minor updates).

    I have a sitemap with the pages listed, and the webmaster console lists no problems with the site. The pages in question still show PR4.

    I'm 98% sure this is a "Google problem", a temporary blip that will get resolved before long, but it's already been longer than I thought!

    I've seen the same issue with another page from a completely different site - also disappeared about 10 days ago, still shows PR4.

    For others in the same situation I'd say - hold tight, don't make any changes to try and resolve the issue. If it hasn't resolved in a week or two, then start to worry more...

    I just noticed this a few minutes ago... I queried "site:MYSITE.com" in google and results show zero. Perhaps it's just a google problem
