Google Cache Gets Style
OK, so it’s not much style, but it’s certainly a cleaner look than the previous mess. Much easier on the eyes. For those who don’t know what this is, the Google Toolbar has a handy quicklink to the cached view of any page. Simply go to the little downward arrow next to the PageRank bar and from the drop-down menu, click cache. This shows you what Google has on file about the page currently in your browser window.
No changes to the look when Google has not cached the page; just a regular search window.

The secret for getting indexed and cached – and having it "stick" – is back links. Ranking well is another matter. Google often takes a period of time to test how trustable a site is before letting it rank at "full strength."

Google 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 judge if a page is a good match for your query.
