Always have a backup for research – “cache:”

As an SEO expert , you’re constantly looking at other web sites, either to see what the competition is up to or where you can get new links to help your SEO strategy.

It’s annoying if a site that you need to view goes down for an extended period of time.

Luckily, Google has a temporary solution for that – the “cache:” operator.

This operator is a bit different than the rest: Instead of searching it in Google like the rest, you enter it in your address bar or browser search bar. However, you need to be using Chrome or Google as the major search engine for it to work.

All you do is add “cache:” before a URL and Google will show you a cached version of a page, as well as when it was last visited.

For example:

cache:http://www.quicksprout.com/2013/06/17/how-i-built-my-first-business-through-email-marketing/
