Google Cached Pages Outdated

[cspence]

My cached home page is about 8 months out-dated. Obviously I'm missing something here becasue when I look at my competitors, their page are never more than a few days out dated.

I have fresh content on the home page weekly and often times daily.

Of course I have the obious questions.

What is causing this? Is it hurting my rankings?

Quaote from Google web site "The cached content is the content Google uses to judge whether this page is a relevant match for your query."

This posibly answers the second question. Any input/advise would be appreciated.

did you check your server clock and server configuration? what status code does the home page return?

does most of your links point at one URL and you are looking at a different one?

is google actually visiting your site?
