Ok, note to self - don’t mess with the Google.
After yesterday’s post on Google indexing a competitor’s site incorrectly, I came into work and saw this:
That’s right - InsureMe has been indexed incorrectly! OUCH!
From what we can tell from the cache date, Googlebot hit our site right in the middle of some late night database issues and the end result was Google getting served an error page.
Needless to say, it’s a bit embarrassing.

LOL! We know you didnt…we love yall.
Did you ever figure out what happened to your site? Was it a server error on your side?

Same thing as you guys. Regular database maintenance at 4:12 in the morning and they caught our error page. That Google bot never seems to sleep does it? Someone get that thing some Tylenol PM quick!

Ha ha - I wonder how many Tylenol PM it would take to put that sucker to sleep.
