Hot topic!!! Cache issues. Old layouts still being seen by bookmarkers - GoFuckYourself.com

I've dove into this issue quite awile back but never fully went into detail.

Basically i'm still getting major hits to some of the sponsors I promoted a few months back, this is due to people whom have visited my site in the past and it was cached in their browser. The old layout still pops up for them but im sure they are getting a mix of the old and the newest layout so its confusing them.

I know there is a no-cache meta tag but is there a way to clear all the cache of a site with a line or so of code? So they will only get the newest everytime they visit.

not that i know of...good luck though.

I always use:

<< meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" >>

works great, just make sure its not a TGP because it will piss off your surfers after they have to download your TGP index page over and over again which could have 100's of thumb nails.
