Hey

Nice test. Bad bad people (if you mess with it). My humble POV is that your second comment is proibably more accurate i.e.

"Googles caching system simply doesnt have the words to describe what is actually occuring (ie. url)"

We know that titles are part of their algo, and as far as I can understand, they are treated differently to links (internal or external). I admit that the text on the cache page certainly makes you question titles as internal links, but I think its a bit of a *standard answer* to any result when they know that the page is there, but can't find the text on the page itself.

<title> or anchor are in the most powerfull ways to affect a page with a keyword. It's normal that it does that.

For some reason i said page title instead of file name :rolleyes:

Thanks for the reply lineops, i agree completely with what you are saying and thats how i feel about it aswell, rather interesting :)

Oh... filename... yeah... it's more obvious when you did a typo in the filename.

Well, it wasnt exactly a typo, more of just a word that returned no results
