Don’t you just hate those Four Oh Four errors? This page can not be displayed…
We wont judge you. Whether it be porn or work related. For good or evil…
The page used to be there. But where did it go? Who cares – We are going to show you how to bring it back!
After being overwhelmed with emails, from amazed readers, after we resurrected the website about the torrent tracker infiltration by a security company. Reader after reader sent us emails inquiring about this magic cache and how to access it.
See the black circle around the word cached? Yup that is your time machine. You will get a snapshot of the page the last time Google crawled it.
Hit this trick/feature up after take down notices or traffic prevents you from seeing what you want to see… Get rid of that a big 404.
Its not always 100 percent functional but it will get you the guts of the site.
How long before Google gets those take down notices for their cache?

Archive.org is also pretty good – but usually for much older sites. It’s quite interesting seeing how much a given website has changed over the years!
Thanks Phil i just took a look at it and it works wonderfully! How do you like the new look of the site?
Great tip helped me with a story on the front page of digg thanks admin
It’s always nice to learn a new trick every now and then. Thanks.
I agree with Phil, “The Wayback Machine” on archive.org is pretty cool. I just found a “retro” version of Bauer-Power. Check it out:
Retro Bauer-Power
Sure it is only from back in May, but then again Bauer-Power hasn’t been around that long.
Here is one from Ask The Admin from back in June (Before the template change):

That Retro AtA is sure a blast from the past!
Nice tip you have there. usually the cache link do not stay long.
Usually works for me for a nice while. What experiences have you had with the Google Cache?
