How to Find Deleted Websites and Blog Posts: WayBack Machine and Google's Cache

Peggy Duncan with SuiteMinute.com How to find a Website that was deleted years ago by searching the Internet's archive, the WayBack Machine.

You can also find a document, page, blog post, etc., by searching for it then looking at Google's cache.

This video shows you how to do both. Google cache starts at 01:12.

I'm creating a new Website that's similar to one that I had years ago...a site that's long deleted. I have the files from this site saved on an old laptop that barely boots up, and when it does, it lasts for no more than a minute or two.

I went to the Internet's archive, the WayBack Machine. I typed in my old URL, and my entire site came into view. I copied the text on each page, and pasted it in Notepad (to strip out any trashy code that may have been added by publishing the site in FrontPage), and pasted it from NotePad onto pages in the new blog. Worked great.

In a previous post, I'd written about how I'd deleted an article in my blog by mistake and how I was able to retrieve it in Google's Cache (storage from the last time my site had been indexed). I've included instructions on how to do that in this video.
