Google Cached Page Titles via Keyword Query
I knew Google cahced pages by IP address, user account, and datacenter — but this is the first time I’ve seen caching by keyword query. Basically, I have two keyword terms which if I search will bring back the exact same listing for a particular site, but the page title will be out of sync. One listing displays the most recent updated page title while the other listing displays the old page title.
Let’s take a look at what I mean. Here is the first listing after searching for one keyword:
Now here is the 2nd listing after searching with keyword 2:
Okay, so you see the strange differences in the page title. It’s not IP related, it’s not datacenter related, and it’s not user account related. I’ve destroyed those theories by logging into a completely different machine, that I have never used Google on. I also tested on several different datacenters. I manage many different server farms, so I have an unlimited arsenal of servers, IP addresses, and networks. :-) In any event, I am hoping it’s not a big deal and hopeful (I’d expect) both page titles will be up to date and in sync within days time. However, I was quite shocked to see pages are being cached at the keyword level, shockingly impressed.
Tell me what you think?
