    Excuse my complete utter and total ignorance, but what do lines in my server logs indicate when the google search term appears to be:
    cache:u6bq14 honyjwww.mysitename.com/a file here.html
    ???

    Does it mean someone has me in their bookmarks? Or does it mean someone looked at a google cache of my page?

    Someone looked at a google cache of my page, and their browser then loaded in the images direct from your website.

    Cryo.

    So, is that's fine then! I just checked, and Ads are served in Google caches of my pages, so I'm happy!

    Thanks for the help, all!
