Yes, hence Richard saying "for years".
Do you not remember a time (roughly pre-2000 or so) when you could type
practically anything into a search engine like "buzz lightyear", and be
guaranteed to get a whole host of porn sites and scam sites in the
listings as well, cos they had put thousands of common and/or
proprietary terms into their keywords description? Notice how that
doesn't happen anymore? Why do you think that is?

Did you expect it to remove stuff from your HTML before caching it?

And that disproves my last statement how?

Congratulations for being the number one result for a search term which
is your own website name.
Seeing as it's a fairly bizarre combination of words (when would someone
normally type "backwater productions" into a SE?), and all the other
results seem to be your signature in news-group posts, I'd guess that
it's not time to crack open the champagne yet.

You could well be right. But that's not a lot of help in the majority of
cases, e.g. "Backwater Productions". Unless the search terms are
"Backwater" and "Productions", this fact isn't going to help!
