How to Get Your Website Cached on Google

Having a cached page could increase your website traffic.

So what exactly does having your blog or website "cached" by Google mean? It could mean more traffic for your website. Google is one of the more popular Internet search engines, and it takes a snapshot of each page it examines and caches (stores) that version as a back-up. The cached version is what Google uses to determine if a page is a match for a search or query. If your page is not currently cached, you can take steps to get it cached.

Instructions

1. Determine whether your site is currently included in Google's index. Go to Google.com, and do a search for your site's URL. In Google's search box, type this in cache:http://sitename.com/ (insert your web address for "sitename.com"). If your search did not find your website or blog, then it is not cached or stored in Google's database.

2. Add your URL to Google. Go to google.com/addurl.html. Next to URL, type in your URL address, and type in the squiggly letters in the provided box as a confirmation. Click "Add URL."

3. Get a link to your website on as many web pages as possible by adding your link to any comments on other blogs and any forums you participate in. Google is constantly searching the Internet, and the more it runs across your link, the higher up your website will appear on its search result pages, increasing your opportunity for traffic.
