I have recently given a few of my sites a complete facelift.

One thing I noticed was that the cached content at Google takes a while to be updated.

Since I have a few more sites to be redone, is there anything I can do now (ahead of time) that would speed the update of the cache refresh when I do take the new site live?

It has been suggested that setting the meta NOARCHIVE is dangerous as this may keep the bots away completely...

Any ideas on this?

There really isn't anything that you can do to make Google update it's cache.

Sometimes it can take a long time for Googlebot to drop by. Although I do know that if you have a website that is constantly being updated, then Google will check it more often, such as popular forums and news sites. I don't understand how exactly it works, but if you update your website often, then I think Google will visit it more.

I've been told that the meta NOARCHIVE won't keep the bots away, they just won't add the page to their cache.
