PR5 site no longer cached - Not even the index page

    Hi, I have an old PR5 site that previously ranked well in Google and now Googlebot visits about 4 times a week and does not Cache the index page nor does it index the site. I recently overhauled my site and changed my homepage from a static file to a dynamically created page. Could that have hindered the caching and indexing? MSN is caching and indexing the site fine. Yahoo caches the home page and that’s it…. Google is not caching a thing! What do you pros think?

    All pages are static by the time they reach the Googlebot, that's not a problem. Can you share the URL? Maybe we can see something then.

    Google is penalizing you for dup. content. Redirect (with HTTP code 301) from number1hotels .com to www. number1hotels .com (or vice versa)

    Good Idea ... Thank you! I will impliment that change today.... I am sort of shocked that Google would delist a site for something so basic. I figured that with all those programmers they would have figured that one out long ago.

    Google will penalize you for having the same content as another website. www.whatever.com and whatever.com are seen as different websites.
    To do a 301 permanent redirct search this forum or Google.
